In line with the current view that seapower depends upon free communications, the book concludes by asserting that the primary role of the Grand Fleet in the First World War was to guarantee the ability of the Northern Blockade to interdict German maritime trade, rather than to engage in large set-piece battles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Cobb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138248584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138248588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.78d","brand":"Stephen Cobb","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444023800063,"sku":"9781138248588","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18479597-9032-4e43-8174-8f64490b7af4.jpg?v=1777209479","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/preparing-for-blockade-1885-1914-stephen-cobb-9781138248588","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
