This work delves into the development of German naval power from its early beginnings to the state of its fleet in the years leading up to World War I. The book aims to unpack the complexities and evolution of Germany's naval ambitions, exploring not just the military aspect but also the cultural and economic underpinnings that fueled its rise. The opening of the book sets the stage for the exploration of German sea-power by emphasizing the historical significance of the Hanseatic League, which influenced early German maritime endeavors. Hurd highlights the transition from a maritime tradition rooted in commerce to a national naval movement, backed by the aspirations of a united Germany in the 19th century. The early chapters touch on the origins of the German fleet and its connection to broader national ambitions, pointing out how the quest for sea power became intertwined with national pride and identity amid the changing socio-political landscape of Europe.
