Media reviews
"Readers will feast on the pictures, and perhaps enjoy a stirring vignette of a battle." --Naval History
"Lavishly illustrated on every page with artifacts, documents, and contemporary images of people and events, it will appeal to a wide variety of interested general readers." --Book News, Inc.
