"Prolific author Quentin Barry's latest is this fascinating and comprehensive study of the campaign leading up to the naval battle of Lissa in 1866. I've read most if not all of the author's other work which focus on mid nineteenth century land campaigns such as the War of 1866, the Franco-German War and the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 so the nautical focus of this book is a welcome departure. The fleets of the Kingdom of Italy and Austria met in the first major engagement of a new age, between significant fleets of ironclads and steam powered wooden warships armed with powerful new rifled shell firing guns.

Just got my copy. Interesting and I will probably keep it, but if you are looking for pictures, ship diagrams and drawings, stats, etc, particularly from a modelling perspective this book is NOT for you. There are only 12 photographs of the ships, none of which haven't been seen in a dozen other places.
