From dust jacket notes: "During the First World War, when the standard reference yearbooks were heavily censored, the Allied navies depended on a series of Confidential Books compiled, issued and regularly updated by British Naval Intelligence. Divided into individual parts, each devoted to a particular type of warship, they summarized under standard headings the essential features of each ship or class...Never previously made publicly available, all the sections relating to ships have been brought together for the first time in German War Ships of World War One, using the revised late-war editions, complete with all the original plans and photographs. For the serious historian it offers evidence of the effectiveness of naval intelligence but its principal value is to the enthusiast and model-maker, for whom it provides a superbly detailed guide tot he ships of the Falklands, Dogger Bank, Jutland, and the U-boat war."
