Review
"Technical descriptions in the book are fascinating as is the discussion and explanation of the commercial development of the supporting industries. Superbly written text is supported by numerous black and white photographs, plans - and pieces of equipment. Truly of international importance and the authors deserve to receive high accolades from their academic peers and the wider readership as well. One of the best naval titles I have seen and I doubt that a better book on the subject could be produced. The book will become a classic and is very highly recommended." Marine News There are a myriad of military history books churned out each year, yet very few are of true national or international importance within their field. This book is one of those exceptional publications. Both authors should receive high praise from amongst their peers, the historical & academic communities and general public alike. The information is priceless. The book is crammed full of fascinating (many unseen & unique) B/W photographs on almost every page. If you have any interest in this period of Naval history, Battleships, the Royal Navy or Naval shipbuilding, then you will do well to get hold of this book at your earliest convenience. DREADNOUGHT Ian's book, The Battleship Builders, co-written by Ian Buxton, looks at the history of battleship building in Great Britain as far back as 1906. Glaswegian

Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. 1st 2013. Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. The launch in 1906 of HMS Dreadnought, the world's first all-big-gun battleship, rendered all existing battle fleets obsolete. Britain urgently needed to build an new battle fleet of these larger, more complex and more costly vessels. In little over a decade, fifty such ships were completed. It was made possible by the country's vast industrial nexus of ship builders, engine manufacturers, armament firms and specialist armour producers. Pale blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. 320 pages including index. A lovely copy, looks unread! Packaged with care and promptly dispatched! Seller Inventory # 1829852
