Using contemporary diaries and letters and later recollections of young officers and ratings, Peter Liddle has compiled ‘Sailor’s War. The drama of the battle in conveyed in the words and impressions of the men and boys who fought whilst the desperate spirit of the prolonged Dardanelles/Gallipolli venture is all too clear.The book not just covers the major battles, actions and operations but deals with the unusual and less well-known aspects of the war at sea. This book will be of interest to anyone wanting to know more about war at sea or about men under conditions of trial and stress. A general historical framework is given so no prior knowledge of the topics is required. The book includes much detail of life on HM ships at the time and gives the reader considerable insight into the conditions faced by the men involved.
