Dreadnought by Robert K. Massie is subtitled Britain, Germany and The Coming of The Great War. The book is a towering chronicle of history. Glittering figures abound from Queen Victoria, King Kaiser, Edward Vll, William ll and more. Politicians, diplomats, admirals, appear among the leaders. Throughout the 19th century, the era of Pax Britannica, Britain ruled unchallenged on the world's oceans. Then, in 1871Otto Von Bismarck created a new superpower, the German Empire.
Day by day and year by year, the author recreates Britain's slow awakening to the ominous threat rising across the North Sea. Readers learn how Britain, once proud of its Splendid Isolation, reached out to France and Russia. With that, countries began to acknowledge and fear the expanding German fleet.
