Product Description

Review

The stories of these wrecks are fascinating and well told - even poetic. But it is what each tells us of the maritime world, naval history and the nature of warfare at sea that gives this selection its great interest and shows the erudition and intelligence of the author' Dr Oliver Walton, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich.

Shipwreck 27 April 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
If watching my husband 'devour' this book, I can only say CONGRATULATIONS on yet another Sam Willis triumph! I too found myself drawn in to the beautifully illustrated and well written contents - I could even become as interested in marine history as my husband - especially if the books are by Sam Willis, a truly amazing communicator. This book now sits proudly alongside all the other Sam Willis books on our bookshelf (all well read by both of us!). Only problem is that I think we have now read all that's been written by this amazing historian and await impatiently for more!
