On January 24, 1915, a German naval force commanded by Admiral Franz von Hipper conducted a raid on British fishing fleets in the area of the Dogger Banks. The force was engaged by a British force, which had been alerted by a decoded radio intercept. The ensuing battle would prove to be the largest and longest surface engagement until the Battle of Jutland the following summer. While the Germans lost an armored cruiser with heavy loss of life and Hipper's flagship was almost sunk, confusion in executing orders allowed the Germans to escape. The British considered the battle a victory; but the Germans had learned important lessons and they would be better prepared for the next encounter with the British fleet at Jutand. Tobias Philbin's Battle of Dogger Bank provides a keen analytical description of the battle and its place in the naval history of World War I.

"...an outstanding account of Dogger Bank. Well grounded in critically used English and German primary sources..." (Patrick J. Kelly, author of Tirpitz and the Imperial German Navy)

Overall impression was disappointing, a dispassionate review of the events surrounding the actions of the antagonists' naval and political personnel and the relative merits of the vessels involved was quite detailed and accurate. The book was marred to an extent by the narration, a marked American accent and atrocious pronunciation of locations in England and of German names would have been minimised had the narrator done a little homework first. The book does not do justice to the tragic events of this battle of the two sea powers of the time nor does it condemn in sufficient depth the tragic loss of life of many brave but helpless seamen.
