Dear all,

I just finished this book by Owen Rees and wrote a review here:

A mixed bag, one would say!

Too bad as it is a favorite topic of mine.

My thoughts exactly. It makes a good primer on the subject, take advantage of the list of references at the back

Thanks for the review. Can anyone recommend good alternatives, other than this book's bibliography?

If you talk about trireme tactics, I have yet to find a good book about it, only good articles.
The best thing I know about it is a specific chapter on "battle manouvers for fast triremes" included in the final report of the Olympia trials.
I plan to provide further reviews on articles and books, if it doesn't disrupt my sculpting efforts!
