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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...
