It's almost impossible to go wrong with a Robert Gardiner books where the Age of Sail is concerned. I have this version and the one that was reissued with better illustrations later.

I've got that one, and several others from Gardiner. I agree, hard to go wrong with his work! |

I have series by Gardiner that goes through the Revolutionary to Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812. Excellent work with wonderful illustrations to guide and explain. I greatly respect his work. |

You just need to be careful that you don't get trapped by "Ooh – new book !" when it is actually an update to a previous version you already have on your bookshelf. I've always bought the update anyway, but you should know what you are buying. Mark Barker |

I would also recommend Sam Willis. I am just starting his "Fighting at Sea in the eighteenth Century" and find the tactical minutiae fascinating. Set out clearly and concisely. I am thinking of reading his "Glorious First of June" next. link link |
