Padfield,
Peter, The
Great Naval Race: Anglo-German Naval Rivalry, 1900-1914,

favourite on this topic it is concise but enthusiastically written,
capturing the passion and urgency of these events with a Kiplingesque
energy. While clearly lionising Fisher and Edward VII at the expense of
Tirpitz and the Kaiser, not to mention Charles Bereford, it is hard not to
argue that the court of history has dealt the 'villians' of this piece an
equally ignoble verdict.
