Sea Fights David Scott Daniell 1966 Hard Cover First British Edition Mylar Cover

Description: This is a Mylar Protected Hard Cover British edition of the book SEA FIGHTS by David Scott Daniell SYNOPSIS: David Scott Daniell here tells the stories of eight famous sea fights, from the Armada in the sixteenth century to the Battle of the North Cape in the twentieth century. Each battle was different, whether in its tactics or in the ships that fought it, but all reveal in common the qualities of leadership, loyalty and patriotism. Beginning in the age of Elizabeth I, and with the visually romantic days of the Tudor sailing ship, the author tells how Drake 'singed the King of Spain's beard', and of the last fight of Sir Richard Grenville; next come Nelson's battle of the Nile and Trafalgar; then Britain opposed America in the battles at Boston and Lake Erie; there is a chapter on the Life and Death of the Emden; and the two World Wars are represented by the Mystery Ships of World War I and the sinking of the Scharnhorst in 1943. An exciting text is illustrated by specially-drawn maps, and by pictures from contemporary sources. Together these make up an authentic book on the always fascinating subject.
