Reader’s Rating: 5 / 5
Rudyard Kipling, leader of the Jungle Books, also wrote this exciting account of two years at sea during World War I. “The main principles of sea-warfare,” he starts, “hold excellent throughout all ages… For matters of detail the Navy, to whom all days are alike, has simply returned to the practice and resurrected the spirit of ancient days.” This theme–that the march of time does not change the ancient spirit–is the leitmotif of Kipling’s narrative, balanced upon the weird threshold of modern war, wherein cavalry detachments dash toward the beach to exchange fire with submarines and wounded destroyers ram steel battleships as their crews leap into the sea, cheering for King and country. This tale only Kipling could tell, with copious moments of suspense and dread illustrating the right face of warfare, yet with ironic glimpses of humor including ancient 19th-century naval songs set to new words that make this book also a wry commentary on a warfare that changes but yet remains the same.
