3.0 out of 5 stars More mystery than history, 19 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The History of Warships: From Ancient Times to the Twenty-first Century (Hardcover)
This book will be a disappointment to the serious student of naval history. The author has an annoying tendancy to make sweeping statements of major historical import, followed by little or no supportive evidence. Most of the assertions concerning major design developments of antiquity are nothing more than educated guesses, often accompanied by disclaimers to that effect! Nonetheless, the scope of the work is ambitious, and the volume is useful if only as a broad timeline of the most significant design developments. As to the statement by the author that the book also ties these developments into the political and sociological evolution of modern civilization, those chapters must be in another volume. I couldn't find them.
