A very interesting story of the British battlecruisers constructed between 1906 and 1920. The book contains much information on life aboard the ships and how they were deployed, mostly during World War I. There is an adequate summary of the technical aspects and historical development of the designs, accompanied by a few line drawings, but there are now much more thorough books available on these aspects of the ships (this book was originally published in 1983).Unfortunately, the book is marred by several minor but irritating technical errors:Page 7: it is stated that the German armored cruiser Blucher carried eight 210 mm guns as main armament. This is incorrect: the main armament was twelve 210 mm guns in six twin turrets. The turrets were arranged hexagonally on the hull such that a broadside was eight guns.Page 10: it is stated that the main armament of the German battlecruiser Von der Tann was ten 11-inch guns. This is also incorrect: the main armament was eight 11-inch guns. The succeeding three ships, the Moltke, Goeben, and Seydlitz, were armed with ten 11-inch guns.Page 147: it is stated that “… the Admiralty had become aware that Germany was planning a series of battlecruisers … mounting eight 15-inch guns, later identified as Mackensen, Graf Spee, Eitel Friedrich, and Furst Bismarck.†This is not quite correct. British intelligence may have thought that these four ships were to mount 15-inch guns, but in fact they were to be armed with 350 mm (13.78-inch) guns. A subsequent group of three more ships were to be armed with 15-inch guns, but construction was never even started.Page 149: while discussing the three 18-inch guns constructed for the light battlecruiser Furious, the author states (Note 2) that “These guns were later taken to Singapore. In 1946 the author stumbled on them, half buried, overgrown with grass, and with their muzzles fractured, on the island of Blakang Mati, just off Singapore where they probably still are.†This is impossible. I cite the book “The Big Guns†by Peter Hodges (1981), page 83: “There is a popular misconception that the three 18-inch guns were sent to Singapore but, although this may indeed have been mooted at some time, they did not, in fact, leave Great Britain.†Hodges then goes on to describe exactly what happened to each of the three guns. Ultimately, two of the guns were sold for scrap in 1933 and the third was sold for scrap in 1947. Bassett may have seen one or more of the 15-inch guns at Singapore, of which five were installed, but it would not have been at Blakang Mati as all five of them were installed on the Singapore main island. According to the book “The Fatal Fortress†by Clements (2016), Pages 116 and 167, the three guns installed on Blakang Mati were 9.2-inch.These errors should not have occurred with even a minimal effort at investigation of sources on the ships of the Imperial German Navy and Royal Navy armaments.Page 88: it is stated that the initial bombardments of the outer forts at the Dardanelles began on March 19, 1915 with additional bombardments on March 25. The author is off by a month: the initial bombardments began in February, not March.For those of you who really thrive on battlecruiser histories (as I do!), I heartily recommend the following more up-to-date books, especially regarding technical aspects of their designs: “Battlecruisers†by John Roberts (1997); “British and German Battlecruisers: Their Development and Operations†by Cosentino and Stanglini (2016); “German Battlecruisers of World War I†by Gary Staff (2014): “Clydebank Battlecruisers: Forgotten Photographs from John Brown’s Shipyard†by Ian Johnston (2011).
I've read many books on naval matters as part of my university studies leading to a BA in History, and served in the USN during the final years of our involvement in Vietnam, so I am always on the lookout for detailed, well documented facts, the ability to assemble and relate them in an engaging manner, and am especially appreciative of histories that tell both the perspective of the commanders and the men who serve under them. Bassett does an excellent job in satisfying all three criteria, in a way sensitive but not smarmy, and minute but always mindful of his topic and its limits. His frequent reflections on the effects of the incidents he relates are both wise and sensitively told; his compassion and understanding come through as genuine and are never gratuitous or maudlin, as is too often the case in more recent writings. Strange, almost, to find these qualities in a book focused on a rather narrow subject - which is no criticism, just a recognition of the book's scope, which Bassett several times recognizes as well. Indeed, there were times that I found his sentiments, which never obscure or overpower his writing, giving me a few minutes pause while I considered not just them but the quality of their expression before going on. This is a book that just doesn't make you stop and think; it leads you to stop and feel. Highest recommendation, and not just for history buffs: this book is a model of good writing that will improve any writer's style. Highest recommendation and I'm looking forward to reading Bassett's other works.
Very well written book. Not only includes lots of good design, technical info but really really well written operational histories and battles.To be honest, one of the best warship books I have read! I highly recommend.The writing quality is excellent, battle stories gripping, and a really good dose of humour/commentary which makes it really enjoyable reading.Great stuff!
Bassett's book is a very thorough history of the battle-cruiser type. His writing is excellent enough for me to try some of his naval fiction. I especially liked his technical detail, battle descriptions, and opinions on how the ship type was used, or misused, in battle. If you are a reader of naval history, this book should be in your library.
The author does a good job of explaining what a battle cruiser is and is not, as well as how they were deployed in WW I and II. Included are many first person accounts of battles and incidents including the cheese and sinking of the Bismarck.
Exciting, entertaining and informative. The stories of sinking the Bismarck & loss of the Hood & sinking of Repulse & prince of Wales have been told elsewhere not not before has the story of the development and times of the battle cruises been written. Here Thais done well.
It would have been better if it looked at battlecruisers beyond those of Great Britain but otherwise a great read & hard to put down
Goof but could use more technical details
