Reviews

British Battleships 1889-1904 is a popular, coffee-table-style history book developed through meticulous research and careful reproduction of illustrations ... [A] work of good quality: university instructors would be well-advised to use it as an example of scholarly presentation and prose, and one that might be used best to enhance first-year students' learning. For any reader with a good knowledge of research methods, the information Burt transmits is of pleasing inspirational value." --The Northern Mariner/Le marin du nord
