Two naval books connect the world wars

Tragedy and Revenge and Wolfpack offer complementary routes into the logistics, strategy, and technology of the two world wars.

Notes

Steve Dunn's Tragedy and Revenge examines the battles of Coronel and the Falklands in the First World War. Roger Moorhouse's Wolfpack follows the U-boat war in the Second. The pairing invites comparisons of logistics, strategy, and technology across the two conflicts. Each book can be read independently, while reading them together makes those connections easier to follow.
