With numerous well captioned photographs and a fascinating and stimulating history that covers every aspect of these ships, this book is a real gem. It is far more than just a book listing technical details of the classes, this is a history of the design rationale and development of 3 ship classes of ships that were powerful and graceful – the ultimate destroyers of their day. A superb read for both the ship enthusiast and the naval historian. Very highly recommended.

For those with an interest in World War 1 and 2, this book is a must for their library illuminating as it does this vitually unknown facet of both World Wars!

Using a mass of archival evidence and a mix of official reports and personal reminiscences, this book offers a fascinating and engrossing analysis of all these far-reaching reforms, which in turn led to the radical transformation of Britain's navy into a truly global force.
