As the Great War began, the Royal Navy rushed to Orkney’s great natural harbour, Scapa Flow. A story of great technologies and epic battles for control of the North Sea, David Hayman uncovers the compelling characters of this little-known naval war – the cautious Admiral Jellicoe and the playboy Admiral Beatty.

I caught this excellent two-part TV programme when it was originally broadcast on the BBC. It should be of particular interest to those interested in the Great War at Sea – Jon or Paul.
