The Great Naval Race: Anglo-German Naval Rivalry 1900–1914 by Peter Padfield is a historical account of the naval arms race between Britain and Germany in the early 20th century, examining how competition to build battleships—especially dreadnoughts—intensified political tensions, shaped military planning, and contributed to the conditions leading up to World War I, while also analysing key figures, naval strategy, and industrial power behind the rivalry.
