Synopsis
From the dust jacket. There is probably no more controversial figure in British naval history than ‘Jacky’ Fisher, the architect of Jellicoe’s fleet in the Great War. On a basis of extended research and much new material, this biography examines hitherto unanswered questions relating to ‘the Fisher era’. Special attention is paid to the earlier part of a career extending from the age of sail to the development of sonar in the Great War. Personalities loom large, from hard bitten sailors of the Crimean War to Lord Charles Beresford and Winston Churchill – to say nothing of the ‘demonic’ Fisher, with his passions and organizational genius.
