The description of the battle of Jutland was well done from the destroyer captain's point of view. Nick Everard is an adequate vehicle for this Hornblower-wanna-be. Fun enough for a rainy night. ( ) “The Blooding of the Guns” by Alexander Fullerton was a blithe and mediocre entry in the Everard naval series. “The Blooding of the Guns” was plodding, weary and populated by Mr. Fullerton with uninspired characterization. And while much of the novel takes place during the epic WWI Jutland naval battle, excitement was sorely lacking. It would take a very inspired recommendation to have me continue this series. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Dramatic, meticulously researched novel of a uniquely fascinating sea battle - Jutland, 1916. In the grey windswept North Sea, Sir John Jellicoe sails with his battle squadrons out of Scapa and Cromarty whilst Sir David Beatty with his battlecruisers from Rosyth await the challenge of the Kaiser's High Sea Fleet. Over a hundred thousand men took part, and the reader shares the excitement, fear and anxiety of those who fought at Jutland - how it felt to be in a tiny destroyer racing to launch torpedoes into a line of dreadnoughts' blazing guns; how it feels to be inside a battleship's fifteen-inch turrets; or on the bridge of a cruiser under pulverising bombardment. This IS battle at sea. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
