Summary: The Greatest Admirals of the world.
Comment: Francis Drake, Maarten Harpertzoon Tromp, Horatio Nelson, David Glasgow Farragut, Heihachiro Togo and more! The book not only has 19 chapters, each dealing with a great Admiral of one of the world's navies, but also there 6 survey chapters, which tell you about changes in ships, weapons and tactics to allow you to be kept up-to-date with the changes in naval warfare as you follow along with the greats, from Drake's expeditions to the battles in the Pacific during World War Two.
