Very interesting book. Slow going in some places, but this book is factual, not a novel, so this is to be expected. One of the lesser known women in WWII

This is actually a misleading title. Most of the book is taken up by a class by class description of predreadnoughts (ie from the 1890s onwards). Earlier ships are hardly touched upon. Still, a useful introduction to predreadnoughts.

A wonderful book, in spite of many errors in the text (the German ships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau are identified as battleships instead of armoured cruisers, the Queen Elizabeth class is said to have six main guns instead of eight). You buy this book for the photographs, not the text. You probably already own a good book for the technical information, this brings you sparkling visual detail to go along with it.
