WARSHIPS OF THE ROYAL NAVY: SECOND SERIES STEAM

by Martin Holbrook



British naval policy before the First World War was to maintain a fleet at least as powerful as the next two largest navies of the world, put together. The result was the largest array of armed might that the world had ever seen. Martin Holbrook commernts, and presents a collection of large format, full page colour plates of twelve of the mightiest British warships of the era. With a foreword by Admiral of the Fleet the Earl Mountbatten of Burma, this very large format book (17 x 14.5 inches) will be a valuable addition to naval collections.

SOMEWHERE IN FLANDERS

by Samuel Frederick Leighton-Green



The letters of a Norfolk Pardre in the Great War. When the author was first appointed as a war chaplain he was thought by colleagues to be weak and over deferential. Later the same colleagues and soldiers came to admire his courage in sharing with them the dangers of the Western Front. Twice he was awarded the Military Cross, the second time for attending a wounded man under shellfire.

TREATY CRUISERS

by Leo Marriot

 

The Washington Naval Treaty of 1921 effectively established the size and composition of the various navies in World War II. They laid down design parameters and tonnage limitations for each class of warship including battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers. With one or two exceptions, battleship construction was deferred until the mid 1930s but virtually all navies embraced the concept of 8 inch, gun armed 10,000 ton heavy cruisers and laid down new vessels almost immediately. This book describes the heavy cruisers designed and built to the same rules by each nation and then consider how the various classes fared in World War II.
