My copy of Norman Friedman's Fighting The Great War At Sea came in today. Got a brand new copy from a seller on Amazon for $38 (the book retails for $85!). I've only flipped through it, but it looks...intimidating. It's actually 416 pages (not the 320 that Amazon and the USNI are insisting), the pages are crammed with text, and it doesn't seem to have anywhere near as many photos and diagrams as the other Friedman titles I've read.
Well, here goes nothing. I'll be happy if it's at least more coherent than British Cruisers of the Victorian Era.
