| Summary | "Dreadnoughts of the Dogger: A Story of the War on the North Sea" by Robert Leighton is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War I, the story revolves around young characters, particularly Mark Redisham and his brother Rodney, as they navigate the tensions and dangers associated with naval warfare in the North Sea. The narrative captures themes of patriotism, bravery, and the personal conflicts arising from national loyalties, particularly through the character of Max Hilliger, a German boy in a British community. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Mark Redisham and his friends, who are Sea Scouts at camp near Haddisport. The narrative quickly establishes the brewing conflict between England and Germany, punctuated by the arrival of news about war declarations and the concerns surrounding naval engagements. Mark's brother, Rodney, a midshipman, becomes a focal point, as their conversations highlight the camaraderie and competition between British and German naval forces. The tension escalates as Max Hilliger, of German descent, openly questions British naval supremacy, leading to confrontations that set the stage for deeper personal and national conflicts as the war unfolds. The opening chapters blend adventure, youthful aspirations, and the stark realities of wartime, presenting a compelling foundation for the drama that will follow.
