A Disappointing Read1
I am an avid reader of naval history. I found this book very disappointing. There is very little detail on the design for this class of battleship at a time where there were significant consideration following on from the previous Queen Elizabeth class. The book uses extensive quotes from sailors and Royal Marines who served on her - whilst always a useful insight, the extent to which quotes are used gives the impression that there was a lack of material for the book. Unfortunately, the author makes too much use of the author's own opinion (often biased) on matters that happened 60-80 years ago and this detracts from the value of this book as record of this class of battleships.
