robert952 Posted September 9, 2021 #1 Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) Just like a kitten: Free to good home. Except, you won't have to feed it. It's an extra copy I found on my book shelf. I figure someone might want it for their research library. Pay for shipping in US, it's yours. I estimate that US Postal will be around $10 - 12 US. If you want to pay for other method, let me know, I'll look into costs. I will tie costs down based on zip codes and other factors. (Shipping from Raleigh NC.) I will accept personal check. Details: Title: Fighting Techniques of Naval Warfare 1190 BC ~ Present. (Subtitle: Strategy, Weapons, Commanders and Ships ) Fiveauthors See the photo below of back dust cover flap for their bona fides. 'Present' ends a bit beyond the Battle of Midway and a reference to '1954 USS Nautilus' submarine. Lots of drawings, cutaways, and prints. All the battles analyzed include a battle map. I found it an interesting and informative read. This is the Metro Books version (2013 copyright) which is an exact reprint of the original Amber Books, Ltd. version (2009). Hardback. 256 pp includes the index. Five chapters: 1. The age of the galley; 2. The age of the cannon; 3. The age of sail; 4. The nineteenth century; 5. The modern era. Excellent condition. The dust cover has a wrinkle in the front flap.
