Produced by Al Haines "The Heroic Record of the British Navy: A Short History of the Naval War, 1914-1918" by Archibald Hurd and H. H. Bashford is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the British Navy's actions during World War I, illustrating the significance of naval power and its contributions to the war effort as well as its evolution. The authors aim to provide a comprehensive narrative of naval events while also addressing the broader implications of admiralty for English-speaking nations. The opening of the text sets the stage for the naval conflict that would unfold during World War I. It begins on August 4, 1914, just as tensions are rising in Europe, introducing the circumstances surrounding Britain's naval readiness in the face of impending war. The narrative describes a significant naval mobilization that precedes the declaration of war, laying out the historical context and character of the British Navy's preparations and strategic maneuvers. There's a focus on the psychological and practical aspects of naval warfare, as the text recognizes the resolve of the seafaring tradition in Britain while hinting at the gravitas of the challenges that lie ahead for both leadership and sailors.
