`Rape, Ravage and Rant are the German watchwords in this war. Right, Revenge & Retrenchment shall be ours.' Alexander Scrimgeour, 17th September 1914. Most published war diaries have been written by soldiers but Alexander Scrimgeour was a naval officer who was killed at the Battle of Jutland in 1916 at the age of 19., But he had already left a legacy - his diaries in which he recounted every event with sincerity, risking court martial to record several notorious incidents. Among his revelations, Scrimgeour discloses the real reason behind the sinking of the HMS Hawke, the events preceding the capture of the infamous Baron Von, and what he learned from dining with his Naval Commanders as the ship's interpreter. He also chronicles his numerous love affairs and his anguish at the loss of close friends killed during the war., Now publishing in paperback for the first time, and updated with new material on his life before the First World War, this new edition includes much previously unseen material, chronicling Scrimgeour's life prior to joining the navy.

Críticas:
(Scrimgeour's) witty and indiscreet jotting's reveal a man missing his family and lovesick for a woman whose feelings for him remain unclear. Like millions of other young men with similar hopes, he never got to realise them. (Damian Whitworth The Times)

Remarkable. No reader can doubt the impact of his loss, magnified in its tens of thousands, across that Britain he was so proud to defend. I loved the book. (Richard Holmes)

The young midshipman's zest for life and meticulously recorded bitching about his fellow officers is completely infections and, at times, hilarious. All this adds to the genuine sense of loss when his diaries and letters come to an abrupt end. (BBC Who Do You Think You Are)

A fascinating mix of the events, observations and feelings of an intelligent young man. Astute... makes you feel alternately old and young. (The Lady)
Biografía del autor:
Alexander Scrimgeour's life was tragically cut short when he perished, aged just 19, on board HMS Invincible at the Battle of Jutland in 1916 - the greatest naval engagement of the First World War. Fortunately, his diaries survived, and their six year span gives an insight into the character of an extraordinary young man.
