Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I checked this one from the library simply because I am beginning the journey of reading all of Forester's Hornblower books in order followed by the works by Patrick O'Brian. I have already found that I am way in over my head with these novels simply because of the jargon and naval concepts.
Well, I learned quite a lot from this book that I did not know but on the other hand I was looking for something with a little more depth and detail. Seems to be that this one covered quite a lot of ground in a great hurry.
For a complete newbie like me I suppose this work would be somewhat helpful. For any old sea salt or someone who has a strong naval history background...hmmm, bet there are better books out there.
I must admit that after reading the other reviews here and noting some of the errors in this book; errors I never would have picked-up on due to my own ignorance, I was put off even further. I need facts and I need accurate facts.
The book did have some pretty and inspiring pictures though.
Now I will stick to my John Boat on the river - those I know.
