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. 1415747 1991 Dreadnought total:213|5:111|4:81|3:17|2:3|1:1| 213 937 283 41 4 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 19:15:37 -0800 2008 Fri Jul 25 08:27:02 -0700 2008
