Steam, steel
& shellfire
|
||
 |
|
After three hundred years of dependence upon the broadside-armed sailing man-of-war, the world's battlefleets were to change out of all recognition in the span of a single lifetime. Sail was replaced by steam, wooden hull construction with iron while the shell-firing gun encouraged the adoption of armour plate. This volume analyses all these developments and gives the reader real insight into this neglected, misunderstood but fascinating period. |
