(More customer reviews)In this book professor Herwig offers more than a military history of the German Imperial Navy during Kaiser Wilhelm II's reign. The political reasons for creating such a strong navy are covered, as well as the role it played during World War I. However, what attracted me the most is the social aspect of this work. Professor Herwig explains which kind of people became officers of the German Navy and why (a topic he dealed with in a previous book: The German Naval Officers Corps). I believe this is most important, because it shows the reader the human part of the Kaiser's navy. The technical aspects in the evolution of naval warfare from 1870 until 1914 are also deeply analyzed in this text. This is a must read for all persons who are interested on this period's history.
