5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Classic on Ironclad Development, January 18, 2009

D. Lewis (Annapolis, MD, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Introduction of the Ironclad Warship (Classics of Naval Literature) (Hardcover)

This is a must-read for anyone interested in ironclad development. Well written and thorough, it provides a great foundational read for anyone interested in the field. Newer books cover specific ships or technologies in more detail and are frequently based on newly found archival information, but this book provides the sweep and scope they miss. It is not highly technical. Great history well written.
