Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a very good book about a little known naval front in WWI. This book covers the channel struggle during WWI. The author is well informed and has a captivating style. The text is somewhat biased towards the british side and I also missed some more technical data about the ships involved, but I enjoyed it very much anyway. I do recommend it to any body interested in WWI naval history.

From its early beginnings in WWI, the Dover Patrol grew to become one of the most important naval commands of the war, performing several duties simultaneously in the southern North Sea and Dover Straits.The patrol mounted anti-submarine patrols, escorted merchantmen, hospital and troop ships, guarded the southernmost waters of the North Sea, and bombarded enemy positions on the Belgian coast, among other duties.After its celebrated blockade operations upon Zeebrugge and Ostend in April 1918, the Dover Patrol's repuatation was assured and it was held in high esteem by the Allied powers.This narrative is fully illustrated with photographs, maps, and meorabilia, bringing alive the inspiring story of the men who served with the Dover Patrol in the war at sea and relating many acts of heroism and bravery.
