Dreadful book not worthy of the author. After thoroughly enjoying Massie's books on Catherine and Peter the Great, I was really looking forward to Dreadnaught. But, the book rambles all over the place, is incoherent, and is basically two partial books stitched together unsuccessfully. I don't know what the author was smoking, but the editor should have insisted on a major rewrite of such a total mess of a book. There are some excellent chapters, to be sure, but after reading page after page about dreadnaughts and then jumping to a rehash of the Guns of August, I kept waiting for the role of dreadnaughts and the royal navy in the war to be explained. Never happened. Great author, but terrible book. What a disappointment. My guess is that the author got bored somewhere in the middle of writing and the book is living off his reputation from other, far better, books.

Grade: A. As a career Naval Officer I wish Mr. Massie had written all of my required Text Books. He has a gift for bringing history and otherwise dry technological details to life.

Not what I expected…. I was looking forward to and interesting treatise on battleships. While this book certainly covered warships, I was unprepared for its length and depth. As I became enthralled in its detail, I simultaneously regretted committing myself to such a long read. Upon completion of the book, I was so grateful that I persevered. Dreadnought is an in-depth look at the history of Europe from the end of the Georgian era until the dawn of the modern world. It is a needed concordance to help even serious historians to understand how the 20th Century - and perhaps in some ways the 21st, came to be. The real and colorful characters could have been from a novel, but (in some cases, sadly) they were very real. Block out some time and savor this masterpiece.

Great book, missing pages.... A comprehensive study that never bores the reader. Unfortunately, almost every last page of the chapter is missing and that is a lot of missing pages.
