The author followed a career in the Royal Navy with a period at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, as curator, before making a new career in writing about naval history. The Royal Navy assembled a

The author's aim is "to attempt to bridge the gap between the political and technical" - the way that the Washington Treaty of 1922 and London Treaty of 1930 shaped naval development between the wars and to an extent dictated the size and shape of the fleets of 1939...
... As the editor of Warships annual, it is no surprise that this is an invaluable and authoritative reference work of warship development between the wars.

British Battleships of World War One
This superb reference book achieved the status of 'classic' soon after its first publication in 1986; it was soon out of print and is now one of the most sought-after naval reference books on the secondhand market. It presents, in one superb volume, the complete technical history of British capital ship design and construction during the dreadnought… Read more...

The Littorio Class
For its final battleship design Italy ignored all treaty restrictions on tonnage, and produced one of Europe's largest and most powerful capital ships, comparable with Germany's Bismarck class, similarly built in defiance of international agreements. The three ships of the Littorio class were typical of Italian design, being fast and elegant, but also… Read more...

British Destroyers
In the late nineteenth century the advent of the modern torpedo woke the Royal Navy to a potent threat to its domination, not seriously challenged since Trafalgar. For the first time a relatively cheap weapon had the potential to sink the largest, and costliest exponents of sea power. Not surprisingly, Britain's traditional rivals invested heavily… Read more...

German Naval Camouflage Vol I: 1939-41

War at Sea
In the vast literature of the Second World War there has never been a naval atlas showing graphically the complexities of the war at sea, a war which spread across every ocean. This new book will fill the gap. With more than 200 beautifully-designed maps and charts, the atlas sets out to visualise the great campaigns and major battles as well as the… Read more...

Clydebank Battlecruisers
Between 1906 and 1920 the Clydebank shipyard of John Brown & Sons built five battlecruisers, each one bigger than the last, culminating in the mighty Hood, the largest warship of her day. If Tiger is regarded as a modification of the Lion class design, this represents every step in the evolution of these charismatic, and controversial, ships. Like… Read more...
