Summary: old fashioned battle
Comment: Books as this I find are good and accurate respect to the impersonal details: size of ships, days and hours of the battles, number of men involved, equipment, etc. But they have a touch of jingoism that is very own of British raccounts of war and I think fully gone with World War II. In effect, references to past military glories abounds, the men are all full capable and brave, no one coward is seen. Even the Germans with his dangerous nazi "Schnanrhorst" and other battleships are seen as nostalgic, noble enemies. A point of view I believe fully innacceptable today as, I repeat, that isn't unusual to read in English war books, but industrial total war has demonstrated by far that today simply can't be fougth. We now know there's no man capable to stand several weeks of modern war withouth serious psychical consequences if no dead of psycally wounded. The sank of the Schnarnhorst is told in this book as a medieval battle and that is a counterfeit of the facts.
