Luxury Fleet: The Imperial German Navy 1888-1918 by Holger H. Herwig dissects the rise and fall of Kaiser Wilhelm’s seagoing ambition. First published in 1980, this 1st edition hardback remains the benchmark study for enthusiasts of naval history and late 19th-century Germany.

The book traces how Germany’s fleet evolved from coastal defense to a high-seas rival of Britain, blending strategic analysis with political intrigue. Herwig’s crisp scholarship makes complex maritime policy accessible to students and general readers alike.

This copy arrives in a protected dust jacket and shows only faint edge marks on a few early pages; the binding is tight and every page turns freely. No writing, ex-library stamps, or dog-eared corners interrupt the reading experience.

Collectors seeking a vintage military history textbook or a thoughtful gift for a naval buff will find this Allen & Unwin first printing a sturdy, conversation-starting addition to any shelf.
