8vo., First Edition, with 33 plates on 16 and 14 maps in the text; blue cloth, gilt back, a fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Completed as the second most powerful warship in existence, the first of Britain's battlecruisers performed well in her allotted role as scourge of German commerce raiders in WWI.
