Reviews
On Oct 16 2010, ViennaSimon said:
I bought this book after first reading The Man Who Bought a Navy by Gerald Bowman, which was focused on Ernest Cox and the first 7 years of the endeavor. That book ended in 1931 when Cox sold the remaining rights to Metal Industries, who salvaged the remaining ships that were to be salvaged. Jutland to Junkyard is nowhere near as detailed as Bowman's book, and the reading is pretty dry, but does give the basic facts. I found myself missing the personal insights into the characters as portrayed in Bowman's book.I recommend this book to supplement Bowman's book, which can be hard to find. Together they make a good history.
