Summary "The Achievement of the British Navy in the World-War" by John Leyland is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the crucial role and significant contributions made by the British Navy during World War I, illustrating the myriad of tasks and challenges faced by naval forces amid the global conflict. Leyland emphasizes the unseen and often unappreciated efforts of the Navy, which were critical to the success and survival of Britain and its Allies. The opening of the work sets the stage by highlighting the indelible impact the British Navy had on warfare during this tumultuous period. Leyland discusses King George's recognition of the Navy's esteemed reputation, and he reflects on the varying public perceptions regarding the Navy's silent yet significant operations. He traces the history from the war's initiation, mentioning strategic mobilizations and the early challenges faced. The narrative introduces key naval figures like Admiral Sir John Jellicoe and outlines the transformative strategies employed by the British Navy, emphasizing their crucial role in securing supply routes and supporting land operations, thus laying the groundwork for the detailed analyses that follow in subsequent chapters.
