The story is well told, especially in its clear rendering of such potentially confusing actions as Jutland and the Falkland Islands. Richard Hough is a rare combination: An excellent naval historian, as well as a master at putting naval matters in their proper political and strategic perspective. It is not surprising that he has constructed a superb account of this important era in naval warfare. The story is well told, especially in its clear rendering of such potentially confusing actions as Jutland and the Falkland Islands. Richard Hough's vivid rendering of this sea war brings each battle to life, from the initial confrontations to Germany's capitulation at the end of 1918. Hough describes the climactic 1916 Battle of Jutland, as well as major and minor battles fought in the Falklands, the North Sea, and the Dardanelles. Richard Alexander Hough (/ha /; 15 May 1922 – 7 October 1999) was a British author and historian specializing in maritime history. Hough won the Daily Express Best Book of the Sea Award in 1972.

Peter Anthony Huchthausen (25 September 1939 – 11 July 2008 in Amfreville, Manche, France) was a Captain in the United States Navy and the author of several maritime books. He became a Soviet naval submarine analyst and served in anti-submarine warfare positions on the staffs of Commander, U.S. Naval Forces, Europe, the United States First Fleet, The United States Third Fleet, and the Commander in Chief, Pacific Command. Later, he became the senior American naval attaché in Yugoslavia and Romania. Afterward, he became the chief of attaché and human intelligence collection operations in Western Europe for the Defense Intelligence Agency. Just before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Huchthausen served for three years in Moscow as the senior U.S. Naval Attaché to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. After retiring from active service from the United States Navy in 1990, Huchthausen returned to Moscow and opened an office there for an American firm. At this point, he began his research and writing career. He wrote nine books. Two were made into movies: the HBO movie, Hostile Waters and K-19: The Widowmaker.

Connoisseur, 1983. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Hardcover. Three Volume boxed Set. Each volume 192 pages. Illustrated. Index, Slipcase has some minor wear and soiling but the three volumes are in wonderful condition. The three volumes in this gift set contain a wealth of technical detail, informative text and literally hundreds of photographs and drawings. Richard Humble read Military History at Oriel College, Oxford. Now retired after 17 years as an academic, he is a published author of 44 books on history. Submarines is a sobering yet compelling account of the evolution of the modern fighting submarine, from its debut in 1914 to the 1980s and what could yet turn out to be the eve of World War III. Battleships and Battlecruisers tells the story of the armour-plated giants in which sea power was measured in the 'big-gun' era, before the rise to dominance of the aircraft-carrier in the Second World War. In Aircraft Carriers, the author presents a compelling study that traces the full story of the aircraft carrier, beginning with the floatplane and deck-landing pioneers of the First World War. He examines the conversion of battleships to carriers in the 1920s and the evolution of the carrier task force as a far more powerful successor to the traditional battle fleet--as shatteringly demonstrated at Taranto in November 1940 and at Pearl Harbor in 1941.
