Vom Kadetten Bis Zum Admiral

Jentzsch, C: 2018 Gruyter Berlin, hardcover, 623 pages. This study compares the British Royal Navy and the German Imperial Navy officer corps between 1871 and 1914, focusing on how they were recruited, educated, socialized and promoted from cadet to admiral. It shows how rapid technological and social change transformed both navies and forced their sea officers to adapt their training, professional self-image and career paths in the decades leading up to the First World War.
