| Title:
Fleet
to Fleet Encounters by Eric Grove |
|
Description:
Fleet
to Fleet Encounters examines three battles between capital
ship fleets during the 20th century, Tsushima, Jutland
and Philippines Sea. Each is representative of a different
stage in the development of naval technology. Eric Grove's
examination of each of these battles is detailed and informative,
discussing not only the action itself but the technological
background as well. He does not just chronicle the events
but also looks at the capabilities of the weapons systems
and the organisations set up to employ them. This is an
excellent book with which to gain an understanding of
the development of naval warfare from 1900 to the end
of the Second World War. It will be of great interest
to serving officers, historians and naval enthusiasts.
