Tirpitz and the Birth of the German Battle Fleet

Steinberg, J: 1965 London, hardcover, no dustjacket 240 pages with photo's. Jonathan Steinberg analyzes how Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz designed and promoted a major German battle fleet as a political instrument to challenge British naval supremacy before the First World War. It portrays the fleet not only as a military project but as a tool of domestic power politics in Wilhelmine Germany, exposing the strategic miscalculations that turned this costly “deterrent” into a diplomatic and military liability. In good condition.
