This detailed technical guide to the gunboats of all the major navies of the war means that, for the first time, the story can be told. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNaval action in World War I conjures up images of enormous dreadnoughts slugging it out in vast oceans. Yet the truth is that more sailors were killed serving on gunboats and monitors operating far from the naval epicentre of the war than were ever killed at Jutland. Gunboat engagements during this war were bloody and hard fought, if small in scale. Austrian gunboats on the Danube fired the first shots of the war, whilst German, British and Belgian gunboats fought one of the strangest, most intriguing naval campaigns in history in far-flung Lake Tanganyika.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angus Konstam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472804988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472804983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 7.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Angus Konstam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088343642367,"sku":"9781472804983","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_980c8624-6fa6-45ae-8381-c13590a10fee.jpg?v=1769104331","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gunboats-of-world-war-i-angus-konstam-9781472804983","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
