The story of Robert Whitehead,inventor of the torpedo.Without the torpedo,the submarine would still be a nautical toy of little military value and 25,706,096 tons of merchant shipping might not be rusting on the sea-bed.Without the torpedo Jutland could well have been an overwhelming British victory and the Battle of the Atlantic need never had been fought.Whitehead,a relatively unknown engineer exerted more influence over the tactics of naval warfare and the design of warships than all the world's top Admirals and naval architects put together.And the weapon he created twice brought Britain to the verge of defeat. Gray tells,for the first time, the story of Whitehead's life tracing the the developement of the torpedo from it's birth to today's missile age.A hard working engineer from Bolton-le-Moor Lancashire, benevolent and devoted family man who proudly watched his children marry into the cream of European Society.A self-made millionaire with extravagant and eccentric tastes,by his single-minded determination gave the world's Admirals the 'Devil's Device' - a weapon he fondly believed would make warfare at sea something too terrible to contemplate.Little did he realise he was to become one of the greatest single architects of destruction in the history of mankind.Book fills an important gap in naval history and brings due,if belated,honour to Robert Whitehead.See also rja2102 - another example.
