It examines the development of strategy, especially commerce-raiding, in comparison to what other navies were doing in this era of rapid technological change. It is not an insular history, merely listing ship rosters or specific events; it is a history of the German navy in relation to its potential foes. It is also a look at a new military institution involved in an inter-service rivalry for funds, technology and manpower with the prestigious and well-established army.Cass series--naval policy and history ;25.Naval strategyHistory19th centurySea-powerGermanyHistory19th centuryNaval strategyHistorySea-powerHistory359/.00943/09034Olivier David H.1526130MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783714203321German naval strategy, 1856-18883767990UNINA
