This is the most comprehensive, English-language study of the German Imperial Navy's battlecruisers that served in the First World War. Known as Panzerkreuzer, literally "armored cruiser," the eight ships of the class were to be involved in several early North Sea skirmishes before the great pitched battle of Jutland where they inflicted devastating damage on the Royal Navy's battlecruiser fleet. This book details their design and construction, and traces the full service history of each ship, recounting their actions, drawing largely from first-hand German sources and official documents, many previously unpublished in English.

Gary Staff has studied the Imperial German Navy for much of his life and has frequently traveled to Germany and elsewhere to consult relevant archives. His most recent book is Battle on the Seven Seas: German Cruiser Battles, 1914-1918.
