Superb.

Essential reading for anyone with an interest in the Navy or the period. (

A massive study of the Royal Navy and its wartime performance. Well mapped and referenced. Professor Marder is an American, and an academic. The fact that Oxford printed the book is a sign of his prestige in the world of Royal Navy scholarship. I only have volume III in my library, the one which covers and maps the Battle of Jutland. This is an indication of my poverty. (
