This unique and comprehensive account describes the interplay of
internal and external factors in the emergence of the
Austro-Hungarian Navy from a coastal defence force in 1904 to a
respectable battle force capable of the joint operations with other
Triple Alliance fleets in the Mediterranean by the eve of World War
I. By 1914 the Austro-Hungarian Navy was the sixth largest navy in
the world and the quality of its officers and men was widely
recognised by most European naval observers at the time. The book
describes the relationships between naval leaders, the heir to the
throne Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and the Parliament in shaping
the dual Monarchy's naval policy. It also shows how the changes in
foreign policy in Italy and underlying animosities between Rome and
Vienna led to a naval race in the Adriatic that eventually
bolstered Germany's naval position in respect to Great Britain in
the North Sea.
