Luxury Fleet
Synopsis
This book reviews the building of the German Imperial navy from a small coastal defense fleet to the world's second largest navy by the First World War. The term "Luxury Fleet" (as coined by Winston Churchill) denotes British view of the German navy as a luxury while the British navy was vital to its existence. This dichotomy is detailed in the monograph and the rivalries that ensued.
