Excellent Brief History

This book is short sharp and to the point and yet has a suprising amount of detail. For someone wanting an introduction to this subject this is definatly the book to have as it is easy to read and understand and covers the most exciting period in the age of the sailing navy. A good background book for Jack Aubry, Hornblower and Richard Bolitho readers.
