Buller's Dreadnought (Commander Buller Book 2)
Richard Hough - 1982
German naval competition and the construction of ever greater fleets of Dreadnoughts, and the restlessness of new social pressures, take their toll, and Buller especially finds himself at once in the throes of domestic crisis and an undeclared security war with the nation’s future enemy. So much lands on the shoulder of two men, will the two handle the pressure or will this break the duo apart? This sequel to the highly praised Buller's Guns concludes on the high note of the first pursuit and clash of mighty Dreadnoughts in the North Sea.
