An account of the two First World War battles of Coronel (1st November 1914) and The Falklands (8th December 1914) fought between the British and German navies. Coronel was the first British naval defeat for more than a century. Engaging the enemy without hope of victory, Rear-Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock, his flagship HMS Good Hope, and HMS Monmouth were sunk with all hands by the powerful cruisers of Vice-Admiral Graf von Spee. However, just over a month later the British navy got its revenge at the Battle of The Falklands when the battle-cruisers of Vice-admiral Doveton Sturdee helped send von Spee and four of his ships into the icy depths of the South Atlantic.
