--Estonian World Review
Dunn is a very engaging writer and an expert on naval warfare of
the era. His research makes heavy use of important British sources,
such as the Imperial War Museum collections and the Liddle
Collection.... Specialists will appreciate its detailed treatment
of this important but neglected episode of naval history.
--History: Reviews of New Books
Anyone interested in naval operations is likely to find some useful
food for thought in Battle in the Baltic for those interested in
small naval, the interwar history of the Baltic littoral, the
career of Winston Churchill, or even the roots of German fascism.
--StrategyPage
Dunn's text is well-presented.... While most people in the West
have forgotten about this particular Royal Navy action, it is
fitting that both of these Baltic countries have not. Thanks to
Dunn, we have now also been reminded of this endeavour. --The
Northern Mariner / Le marin du nord
This story is packed full of colourful portraits of British naval
personnel.... Battle in the Baltic is a fine tribute to those
Britons who served in the Baltic between 1918 and 1920, especially
the 128 servicemen who made the ultimate sacrifice in a campaign
that Dunn judges was 'a triumph, if only marginally, for the
bloody-minded resolve of the Royal Navy.' --Warships: International
