[Joslin Hall Books & Ephemera]

My Memoirs

By Grand Admiral von Tirpitz. Published by Dodd, Mead and Company in 1919.

“Alfred Peter Friedrich von Tirpitz (19 March 1849 – 6 March 1930) was  
a German grand admiral, Secretary of State of the German Imperial  
Naval Office, the powerful administrative branch of the German  
Imperial Navy from 1897 until 1916. Tirpitz took the modest Imperial  
Navy and, starting in the 1890s, turned it into a world-class force  
that could threaten Britain's Royal Navy. However, during World War I,  
his High Seas Fleet proved unable to end Britain's command of the sea  
and its chokehold on Germany's economy. The one great engagement at  
sea, the Battle of Jutland, ended in a narrow German tactical victory  
but a strategic failure. As the High Seas Fleet's limitations became  
increasingly apparent during the war, Tirpitz became an outspoken  
advocate for unrestricted submarine warfare, a policy which would  
ultimately bring Germany into conflict with the United States. By the  
beginning of 1916, he was dismissed from office and never regained  
power” [Wikipedia].
