If any lesson emerges from the naval war of 1914-1918 it's that the best laid plans can and do go awry. Add to that the comparatively new weapons of this period and virtually anything was bound to happen. Massie is a skilled master at showing the whole picture along with fascinating details, ranging from Britain's early, desperate attempts to deal with U-boat warfare (even attempting to train seagulls to defecate on periscopes) to the amazing breaking of the German naval code. All in all, an exciting description of man's devastating success in destroying others of his own kind.
