Reviews
On Jun 6 2011, EarlEDoors said:
The book ‘Naval Warfare’ published in 2004 by Silverdale books is adapted from a larger Time-Warner book called ‘Naval Warfare – an Illustrated History. In 219 pages of tightly packed words and hundreds of photographs and drawings it takes us from the battle of Salamis (Athenians versus Persians) to the Falklands conflict.The book is edited by Richard Humble a man with many historical naval books to his name. I was unable to find the foreword by Peter Kemp a former head of the Royal Naval Historical Branch (As mentioned on the title page) but there is a very comprehensive index.Definitely a book for the naval historian or the war gamers.
