Focusing on the transformative impact of the dreadnought battleship, this book re-examines naval history from the 1880s to World War I. It highlights the fierce Anglo-German naval rivalry and the rise of naval powers like the U.S. and Japan. Roger Parkinson emphasizes that while the dreadnought marked a pivotal shift in naval policy, much of its technology had roots in earlier designs. The narrative explores how the Royal Navy transitioned from a Victorian peacekeeping force to a formidable military power, culminating in an intense naval arms race.
