I've started reading this on holiday, as we're only away for a week and it should fill up the time I have while the weather is dodgy. As this is my next project, I thought it would be a good idea to actually find out what happened, other than by reading the fairly basic outline of events on the internet. This is the standard work on the subject and will be really useful when I'm planning out what I'm going to do.
If you want some 'what if' scenarios for your Goeben and associated ships there's an interesting fictionalisation of her career at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Last-Battlecruiser-Operations-Mediterranean-1914-1918/dp/1477523804.
ReplyDeleteOoh.. excellent 👍 Thanks Rib
ReplyDeleteAlso try Elizabeth Moon's alternate history version of the Goeben, available on line here https://www.baen.com/Chapters/0671878867/0671878867___2.htm
ReplyDeleteIn her version Admiral Craddock rather than Troubridge is charge of 1st Cruiser Squadron.
