Genre: History Publisher: Harper Collins Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 360 Description: This book traces the history of the battleship from beginning to end - i.e. from the 1860's to the 1940's. This was a time when the fate of nations rested upon their naval power and the Battleship became the main element of that power once it had eclipsed the wooden ship of the line.
