It is well illustrated with a combination of contemporary and new paintings, line diagrams and drawings, photographs and some rather nice colour charts showing the progression of the major battles covered. Inevitably, for a book of 252 pages that covers over 3200 years of naval warfare, some areas are going to be less well covered than others, and in this book it is the "modern" era (post-ACW) that misses out the most. However, the coverage of the early eras more than makes up for this, in my opinion and this should not put off potential readers unless they had a particular interest in post-1900 naval warfare.
