Anthony Bruce and William Cogar have collaborated to produce a superbly researched and presented military history with An Encyclopedia Of Naval History. Comprising more than one thousand meticulously researched entries arranged alphabetically, readers will find entries for major wars (including detailed chronologies of attendant naval engagements and for smaller naval battles); histories of individual ships and the progression of warship technology from the 16th through the 20th centuries (including design modifications of strategic significance, ship dimensions, and weaponry); biographies of naval commanders ranging from Barbarossa and Horatio Nelson to Chuichi Nagumo and Huyman George Rickover; descriptions of the development of navies, naval organizations, and naval tactics; as ell as suggested further readings, extensive cross-references, a synoptic index, a general index, 124 illustrations, and more. An Encyclopedia Of Naval History is a core, seminal addition to any military history collection in general, and naval warfare reference libraries in particular.
