Amazon US has a number of Seaforth Kindle books on sale for $1.30 each, so I "grabbed" the following titles:

Fighting the Great War at Sea
Rebuilding the Royal Navy
Jutland: The Unfinished Battle
Schnellboote: A Complete Operational History

Finished reading Nicholas Jellicoe's Jutland: The Unfinished Battle. You can read my review HERE. Now I'm going to start John Campbell's Jutland: An Analysis of the Fighting, which has been sitting on my shelf for five years, intimidating the hell out of me.

No need to be intimidated. It's a fun read.

Or maybe I'm just crazy.
