| Summary | "The Fleets at War" by Archibald Hurd is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides an in-depth examination of the naval strategies and assets of the British and German fleets during the onset of World War I. It likely addresses the critical role of naval power in shaping military outcomes and national confidence in the face of impending conflict. The opening of "The Fleets at War" outlines the significant naval achievements of the British fleet just before the outbreak of hostilities on August 4th, 1914. It emphasizes the rapid mobilization of British naval forces, which were already prepared for war even before the official declaration. Hurd discusses how the British Navy successfully hindered German maritime commerce and ensured the safe transport of the British Expeditionary Force to France, highlighting the pivotal influence of naval power on Britain’s war effort. As the narrative begins, it sets the stage for a detailed exploration of naval policies, fleet compositions, and the broader implications of sea power during wartime.
