From the devastating defeat of a Royal Navy Squadron in the Battle of Coronel, to the Navy’s resounding victory at the Battle of the Falkland Islands a few weeks later, this detailed account from the early days of World War I recounts two events that shaped the fate of empires.
A direct consequence of Britain declaring war on Germany on 4th August 1914 was the threat to merchant shipping in the South Pacific and South Atlantic. The events that dramatically unfold in "Coronel and The Falklands" are pivotal battles, recounted in meticulous detail by the author, John Irving. With vivid detail and historical accuracy, this book brings to life the relentless pursuit of victory amidst the vast and unforgiving ocean. The figures of formidable German Vice-Admiral von Spee and tenacious British Admiral Sturdee are brought to life in this story of endurance, naval warfare, and the indomitable spirit of each man who sails into history.
Discover the dynamic tale of the naval battles that shaped the course of the Great War, dominated by a relentless determination to command the seas. In a book that presents the strategic manoeuvres of these battles through detailed accounts and official reports, John Irving places a spotlight on one of the remotest corners of the global stage on which the theatre of World War I played out.

Churchill's War, vol II: Triumph in Adversity (eBook)
David Irving · eBook · 1051pp
Churchill's War, vol II: Triumph in Adversity is David Irving's standard work on the middle years of Winston Churchill and his war, based, like his work on Hitler, on documents exclusively available to him and over thirty years of research and interviews and British and international archives. The second volume of Churchill's War covers the middle years of this disastrous conflict. After the first volume chronicled an almost unbroken series of disasters in his life, from Gallipoli and the Chanak crisis to the defeat of France and the military fiasco in Greece, the second sees him enter happier times, with great naval victories, El Alamein and the landings in North Africa. This book is a "stand-alone" book and does not require reading the first volume to understand or appreciate the story-jacketed hardback.
