Admiral Timirev had a career that included the Russian Fleet defeat by the Japanese, through the Great War and Revolutionary Wars into the Soviet era. As a result, his memoirs are very valuable to historians and military history enthusiasts as original source material. The translated text is easy to read and this may increase the readership because it fills a huge void in Western knowledge of Russian naval history which played a very important part in shaping the Twentieth Century, more from its failures than for its achievements.
