A classic [that] covers superbly a whole era...Engrossing in
its glittering gallery of characters.
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Robert K. Massie has written a
richly textured and gripping chronicle of the personal and national
rivalries that led to the twentieth century's first great arms
race. Massie brings to vivid life, such historical figures as the
single-minded Admiral von Tirpitz, the young, ambitious, Winston
Churchill, the ruthless, sycophantic Chancellor Bernhard von Bulow,
and many others. Their story, and the story of the era, filled with
misunderstandings, missed opportunities, and events leading to
unintended conclusions, unfolds like a Greek tratedy in his
powerful narrative. Intimately human and dramatic, DREADNOUGHT is
history at its most riveting.
