"Seekriege und Seekriegswesen, Erster Band" by Rudolph Rittmeyer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into naval warfare and its historical development, focusing particularly on the significant naval wars of the 17th and 18th centuries. Rittmeyer aims to provide a comprehensive history of maritime conflict, emphasizing the influence of key naval powers such as Holland, England, and France. At the start of the work, the author outlines the scarcity of literature on naval history in the German language, noting a rich availability in other languages. Rittmeyer expresses his motivation to compile a comprehensive account while acknowledging the challenges of encompassing such vast historical content. He sets the context for his study, detailing his decision to focus on the major naval conflicts of the age of sail from the mid-17th century to the early 19th century, emphasizing their importance in shaping modern navies and maritime tactics. The opening also hints at the structure of the book, suggesting that it will cover various time periods and examine the complexities surrounding naval warfare and its political implications.
