| Summary | "The Crisis of the Naval War" by John Rushworth Jellicoe is a historical account published in the early 20th century that delves into naval warfare during World War I, particularly focusing on the Royal Navy's efforts to combat the German submarine campaign. The book likely addresses the strategic developments, organizational changes, and operational tactics used by the British naval forces, highlighting the critical challenges and responses during what Jellicoe considers the gravest peril faced by the nation. The opening of the book introduces Jellicoe’s intent to document the naval strategies and organizational adaptations undertaken at the Admiralty in response to the escalating submarine threat. He reflects on the gravity of the situation during the war, emphasizing the crux of British naval operations that were largely unknown to the public at the time. Jellicoe outlines the emergence of unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany, the subsequent losses in merchant shipping, and the urgent measures taken by the Admiralty to counter the crisis, including improvements in naval organization, the introduction of new operational tactics, and collaboration with the United States Navy. Overall, this beginning sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Royal Navy's strategic evolution throughout the tumultuous events of 1917, leading to significant developments in maritime warfare.
