Which are your favorite books about the German Navy in WWI? Include books which discuss the development of the German Navy in the 19th century. |

I thought Massie's 'Dreadnought' and 'Castles of Steel' were quite good. Mike |

My two favorites are "The Kaisers Pirates" and "German Raiders of the South Seas". Both are very nice books about Ships and their masters like the Emden, Konigsberg, Wolf and Seeadler.

Luxury Fleet by Holger Herwig is also quite good, especially with the 19th century aspect. |

What delta6ct and LeonAdler said – those are really good books. I'll have to give some of the other suggestions a peek, though. Doug |
