In no other war were so many large-scale fleet battles fought, one of which was the most strategically significant naval battle in all of British, French, and American history.

Have this and most all of Mr. Willis' books. Excellent writer and researcher. However, this is my least favorite of his works. Unlike other works there are few primary resources referenced. There are no new insights here as a result. To be honest I was disappointed considering what insightful work he normally produces from original sources. If you don't have this one you are not missing much. |
