Seller's Description:
Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD. 1992. 289 pgs. Illustrated with 8 pages of b&w photos. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. This is a fascinating book on the development of the German ship building and naval armaments industries to construct the warships of the old Imperial German Navy. It discusses issues and subjects such as the 1898 and 1900 Naval Laws to create a High Seas Fleet (or so the German leadership thought). It describes the particular influence of both Tirpitz, and Kaiser Wilhelm II. The specifics of ship designs (especially Dreadnought-type battleships) are only described to the extent that they are related to the required expansion and enlargement of slipways and yards. The inevitable financial battles with the Reichstag and Army are also discussed. EB; 9.0 X 6.0 X 1.0 inches; 352 pages.
