Volume I: Superior Force : the
conspiracy behind the escape of Goeben
and Breslau
Volume II: Straits : British Policy
towards the Ottoman Empire and the
Origins of the Dardanelles Campaign
Volume III: The Millstone : British
Naval Policy in the Mediterranean,
1900-1914, the Commitment to France and
British Intervention in the War
These books provide a comprehensive
account of British naval and diplomatic
policy in the two decades prior to the Great
War, focusing in particular on the escape of
the German ships Goeben and Breslau
[Superior Force], the origins of the
Dardanelles Campaign [Straits], and the
political and diplomatic imperatives behind
the British decision to enter the war in
August 1914 [The Millstone].
Each volume of the "Straits" trilogy is
designed to stand on its own; together,
however, they represent the fullest account
yet published of the escape of Goeben and
Breslau, the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean
and British policy towards the Ottoman
Empire for the period 1900-15. Please note
that Superior Force is in a larger format.

The Links Page :
As the range of our activities is so diverse,
we have a number of different websites. The site
you are currently viewing concentrates on the
three non-fiction books written by Geoffrey
Miller, dealing with British Naval Policy in the
Mediterranean from 1900 to 1915. The main
Flamborough Manor site focuses primarily on
accommodation but has brief details of all our
other activities. To allow for more information
to be presented on these other activities, there
are other self-contained web-sites. All our
web-sites have a
LINKS
page in common, which allows for easy navigation
between the various sites. To find out where you
are, or to return to the main site, simply go to
the

page.
Signed copies of Superior Force are still available, priced at £25.00 each plus postage. For

CANADIAN MILITARY HISTORY JOURNAL
…an impressive book, and Miller is to be
commended for his diligence in piecing
together occasionally fragmentary evidence
into a convincing argument. Furthermore, he
has provided much new grist for people
interested in debating the "what might have
beens" of the Dardanelles expedition.
