The aim of Seaforth books is to produce the very best maritime books, whether they be narrative histories, definitive reference works, ship monographs or modeling books; and as well as reflecting the very latest research they are also designed and printed to the highest standards. Some have made significant contributions to the field, but we hope that all of them will make worthwhile additions to any collector's bookshelf.
If you only read one book on the development of the Fleet Air Arm and Naval air warfare in the Mediterranean during World War 2 then this should be it. Very highly recommended.

Small Warships
The author originally joined the Navy during the days of sail. Leaving the Navy in 1919 he joined the Marine Department of the Chinese Maritime customs Service and during his 30 years as river inspector he assisted in opening the Yangtze River to steam navigation up to 1450 miles from the sea. It was here he developed a deep interest and affection for the junkmen and their craft. This is a large volume containing all sorts of information, detailing the lives of the junkmen along with ancient histories and of course their craft. Clearly a seriously researched book over his 30 years this publication is unique and unusual to say the least. Recommended to anyone.

Review by Andy Thomson
The Modern Cruiser is a very detailed book covering every aspect of those vessels from drawing board to combat performance. Stern examines individual ships and classes throughout, highlighting improvements but also their problems. The result is a real sense of evolution, befitting the book’s subtitle. Stern’s discussion of the politics of Cruiser building is well-balanced and informative, particularly the chapters on between-the-wars initiatives. A superb collection of photographs illustrates Stern’s thoroughly researched and well-written book. Anyone interested in 20th Century warships will enjoy this book.
