"The German Fleet" by Archibald Hurd is a story about the growth of Germany's navy leading up to World War I. It starts by discussing Germany's past with the sea, like the Hanseatic League, and shows how trade on the water turned into a desire for a strong naval force. The book tells how the German fleet started and how it became a symbol of national pride for a united Germany.
