The German naval mutinies of World War I

About this book

A fascinating study well-researched and equally well-written tracing the evolution of naval conflict between the adherents of the old order - the caste of feudalized naval officers and the proponents of a new more democratic system- the enlisted men. Author Horn shows not only why the enlisted men rebelled but also why the officers pursued a course that was bound to result in mutiny. In so doing Horn provides a new overall view of the collapse of the German navy and the end of the German Empire. Informative and thought-provoking must-read for any WWI buff.
