The German Navy in the First World War This important new work describes how the Imperial German Navy, which had expanded to become one of the great maritime forces in the world, second only to the Royal Navy, proved, with the exception of its submarines, to be largely ineffective throughout the years of conflict.?The impact of this impotence had a far-reaching effect upon the service. Germany, indeed most of Europe, was in the grips of a spirit of militant nationalistic fervour, and the inactivity of the great Imperial Navy caused deep frustration, particularly among the naval officers. Not only were they unable to see themselves as heroes, they were also ridiculed on the home front and felt profoundly humiliated. With the exception of the one sea battle at Jutland, their ships saw little or no action at sea and morale slowly collapsed to a point where, at the end of the war, the crews

Theatre of War Cecil Beaton's reputation is linked to his legacy as a great stylist-fashion photographer, portraitist of a gilded pre-war generation, the ultimate royal photographer, diarist, transatlantic traveller, set and costume designer, and an intimate with the cast of the swinging sixties from Mick Jagger and Jean Shrimpton to the court of Andy Warhol in New York. One would expect his arena to be backstage, on the film set or in the studio, if not in some palatial drawing room, but during the years of the second world war, from 1939 to 1945, Beaton was at work for the Ministry of Information documenting the bombing of London, the battlefields of North Africa, the Burma campaign and other war zones across the globe. This publication is drawn from some seven thousand of his prints and negatives from this period that are housted at the Imperial War Museums in London. On the Home Fron
