British & German Battlecruisers - Their Development and Operations

The fast and formidably-armed battlecruisers of Great Britain and Germany that were developed before and during the First World War are, in this book, compared and contrasted in a way, and at a level of detail, that has never been attempted before. The book looks at foreign policy, strategic and tactical considerations, economic, industrial and technical developments as well as the naval policies that led to the creation of these battlecruisers.
