About this listen
FNH Audio presents an unabridged reading of this WWI naval history by an author who actually took part in the battle(s) described. This plain, unvarnished account, so far as is known, is the first attempt that has been made to link with the description of the Battle of the Falkland Islands, fought on December 8th 1914, to the events leading up to that engagement. Each phase presented has been read and approved by officers who participated.

Good story of naval war in wwi. The reader is a bit high pitched but it is worth a listen.

Horrible narration
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Avoid this book if you have ever heard German language spoken. The narrators pronounciation of German words, ship names and names of persons, is so bad as to make them almost completely unrecognisable.
Would you be willing to try another book from H Spencer-Cooper? Why or why not?
I dont know, I gave up on the book due to the narration.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Felbrigg Napoleon Herriot?
Whatever narrator is selected, needs as a minimum to be capable of pronouncing German in a way that is even remotely recognisable as german, rather than just jiberish....
Was The Battle of the Falkland Islands worth the listening time?
No, half the story gets "lost in pronounciation"

Very Poor Pronunciation and Narration Throughout
What disappointed you about The Battle of the Falkland Islands?
The reader was very, very weak. He had no ability to pronounce anything "foreign".

No. I have listened to many good recordings.
What didn’t you like about Felbrigg Napoleon Herriot’s performance?
Nothing...nuffin'. Is he kidding?
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
A slow groan
