US Battleships 1941-1963: An Illustrated Technical Reference
Wayne Scarpaci

art by wayne, 2008

Splendid.
This is one of the most detailed, yet readable books on this subject I have seen. The text is concise. The combination of rare photographs and Mr. Scarpaci's original artwork is splendid. Just about everything a naval history buff would want (or need) to know about ...

Time Life UK, 1980

The history of Dreadnoughts to the Battle of Jutland
The lessons of the Battle of Tsushima during the war between Russia and Japan in 1905, where long-range fire decided the outcome, were not lost on the British Admiralty. The result was the creation of the H.M.S. "Dreadnought," a radical design that heralded the start ...
  
  











  



  
Historic Battleship Texas: The Last Dreadnought (Military History of Texas)
John C. Ferguson

State House Press, 2007

Factual but uninspired
This is a very factual but uninspiring account of the career of the USS Texas. The ship went here, went there. did this and that, but i would of liked a more personal account of the life the characters and incidents she was involved in. OK but not great

John Brooks

Routledge, 2006

This book is the best primer on dreadnought gunnery at the time of the Battle of Jutland. There is no comparable work in English for this complex subject and it's effects on naval warfare. The book is easy to read as it leaves the complex mathematics involved to ...
  
  











  



  
Dreadnought

This is perhaps the finest, most informative, and eminently readable book on history I have read in 50 years of exploring the subject. It is comprehensive and an indispensable book for those who wish to understand the dynamics of European and world history since the ...
  
  











  



  
Dreadnought! (Star Trek, No 29)
Diane Carey

Star Trek, 1999

Piper's one of the best
I really loved this novel. Lt. Piper is a wonderful character, and like many reviewers have said, I wanted to be her, too. The characterization is excellent, and her friends Merete, Scanner, and especially Sarda, are fascinating and fun. Piper gets thrown into a ...
  
  











  



  
Jutland 1916: Clash of the Dreadnoughts (Campaign)
Charles London

Osprey Publishing, 2000

Great background, clear story
I found this book very informative and enjoyable. It reflects the British point of view, containing many facts, details and anecdotes, just what I had hoped for. The battle itself is somewhat confusing, but the excellent maps the book provides are a big help in ...

How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves

MacMay, 2008

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS Rome was not built in a day, nor has the glorious British Navy attained its present condition except by slow degrees, by numerous trials and experiments, by improvements gradually and cautiously introduced, and by the employment of a vast amount of thought, energy, and toil. We are apt to forget when we see an elaborate ...

The Starwolves: Dreadnought - Book #4 (Starwolves)
Thorarinn Gunnarsonn

Great Book!
I thought this book was as good as the others in the series. I found it very intertwining, and even clever. If you liked the others, you'll love this one too.
  
  











  



  
The Battleship Dreadnought (Anatomy of the Ship)
John Arthur Roberts

Naval Inst Pr, 1993

Star Treatment for Historic and Revolutionary Ship
This volume measures up to the superb standards of the Anatomy of a Ship series, and it is high time we had such a comprehensive and attractive guide to HMS Dreadnought, the prototype for all 20th century battleships. The book includes a narrative history of the ship ...
