5.0 out of 5 stars
historical evolution from sail, Dec 24 2002
By jim - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Battleship (Paperback)
This one is worth the price. The book is light on pictures and
diagrams, but it makes up for it in its detail. The politics
of the evolution of the battleship is covered from the time of
sail and armourclading to the building and sinking of the Yamato.
Tactics and gun evolution and protection and speed improvements
are well explained. For me this was the book that explained why.
I found it a good supplement to my books by brown and whitley.
