Royal Navy and the German Threat 1901-1914 - Seligmann, Matthew S. (Reader in History, University of Northampton)

Offers a new and original account of the efforts made by the Royal Navy to prepare for war with Germany in the decade and a half before 1914. Seligmann demonstrates that from being unready for an assault on British seaborne trade, the Royal Navy had given a great deal of thought to its protection.
