The Grand Fleet, 1914-1916 : its creation, development and work by Jellicoe
"The Grand Fleet, 1914-1916: its creation, development and work" by Admiral Viscount Jellicoe is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the operations and developments of the Grand Fleet during World War I, from its formation at the onset of the conflict until late 1916. Jellicoe, who led the fleet, chronicles the strategic and organizational challenges faced by the Royal Navy while providing insights into naval
warfare's evolving nature during this pivotal time. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces his background and the circumstances leading to his appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Fleet just before the war began. He recalls the tense moments as he took command and highlights the immediate need for effective organization and strategy in a rapidly changing naval landscape. Jellicoe discusses the shifts in naval warfare due to technological advancements and strategic necessities, setting the stage for a detailed examination of the fleet's operations and adaptations throughout the war. The opening portion establishes the historical context and the complexities of naval command, providing readers with a foundation for understanding the subsequent developments in Jellicoe's account.
