Battleships: Allied Battleships in World War II

Hardbound 23x29 cm, 394 pages. Everything technical and historical about British and French battleships of WWII. Also included are battleships and battle cruisers designed, but not completed, including those from the Netherlands and Soviet Union. U.S. battleships, although part of the "Allies" are not included, as they are treated in a separate volume. Battleships that fought in WWII, but were build before the 1930s, including the British "Nelson" class, are NOT included. The depth of description is amazing, but laid out in a consistent way, so it's easy to find what you need. The description and analysis of battle damage is also extraordinary. This is definitely, probably the definitive, reference book on the subject and not a novel. 9780870211003 Garzke Dulin
