5.0 out of 5 stars Unsurpassed Battleship Trilogy, 17 April 1998
By A Customer
Another volume of the outstanding Battleship trilogy by these two authors; accompanies Axis Battleships and U.S. Battleships. This 3 volume set has to be one of the cornerstones of any Warship library. It's hard to imagine improving on it: It has unmatched technical detail balanced by overall strategic and political context, excellent summaries,outstanding pictures and superb line drawings, and is, in short, everything any naval history buff could ask for. The only criticism I can think of is that the slip cover for the U.S. book doesn't match the other 2 volumes, of which this particular book is part! But who cares about the slipcovers when the contents are so rich? I've had this 3 volume set for years, and although I consult them often, I will basically never be finished: you simply come back time and again to drink up more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any researcher or WWII Naval history buff!, 12 Jun 1997
By A Customer
Dulin and Garzke have authored one of the finest detailed analysis of the Allied Battleships in WWII. This book covers all of the physical aspects, detailed plans, construction, and the operational aspects of the Royal Navy, French Navy, Royal Netherlands Navy, and the Russian Navy. They have also discussed, in great detail, the armament, armor protection, radar, and propulsion plants.

The line drawings and photographs make this book worth the price alone. As an added bonus, this book contains the only published photographs of HMS Prince of Wales extensive damage after her engagement with the German battleship DKM Bismarck.

My recommendation is to buy this book, at all cost, if you have any interest in WWII battleships. This type of book has a history of disappearing from publication and becoming hard to find.

Contents: (1.) Deck Designations (2.) Ch.1 Introduction (3.) Ch.2 The Dunkerque Class (4.) Ch.3 The Richelieu Class (5.) Ch.4 The Netherlands (6.) Ch.5 The King George V Class (7.) Ch.6 The Lion Class (8.) Ch.7 The Vanguard (9.) Ch.8 The Soviet Soyuz Class (10.) Ch.9 The Soviet Battlecruisers (11.) Ch.10 Conclusion
