The wartime story of the German Navy starting from its build-up in the 1920s, and expansion in the 1930s. The book covers the development of the pocket battleships and the fateful decision to give priority to the big surface ships like Bismarck and Tirpitz rather than U-boats, and examines the crucial phases of WWII - the battle of attrition in the Atlantic, the fate of the surface raiders and the strengths and inherent weaknesses of the German Navy.

Beginning with a vivid recreation of Napoleon's army assembling at Boulogne for the invasion of England, Nicholas Best tells how the French fleet joined with their Spanish allies and set out for a decisive battle with the Royal Navy. Following events through the eyes of eyewitnesses on the gundeck as well as the admiral's cabins, he takes us to the Mediterranean and the West Indies and back to the coast of Spain as the rival fleets manoeuvre for advantage. Then follows his gripping minute-by-minute account of the actual battle.

Subtitled "An indictment of the Royal Navy 1805-1966", this is an account of the cost of the Royal Navy in terms of men, their achievements, their health and their dignity. The author examines the appalling incompetence, stupidity and sadism from the period immediately after Trafalgar to the absorption of the Admiralty into the Ministry of Defence in 1966. The author seeks to demonstrate that glory has its price.
