Originally published in 1980 'Luxury' Fleet (the phrase was Winston
Churchill's) was the first history of the Imperial German navy from
1888 to 1918. After tracing the historical background to German
naval ambitions, the first two sections of the book analyse Admiral
Tirpitz's programme of building a battle fleet strong enough to
engage the Royal Navy in the North Sea. The author shows the fleet
in its European setting and describes the warships and the
attitudes of the officer corps and seamen. The final section of the
book discusses the tactical deployment of the German fleet during
the First World War, both in home waters and overseas; and it
weighs the balance between those who supported fleet actions in
preference to those who favoured cruiser and submarine warfare.
