Battleships
by Paul Stillwell
From the sinking of the Maine, which sparked the Spanish-Ameri can War, to the devastating
losses in the attack on Pearl Harbor, Battleships have played a crucial role in the
history of modern naval warfare. Tracing the development of the battleship from the
commissioning of the first seagoing class in the 1890's, Battleships brings to life the
story of these leathal leviathans with illuminating text and stunning full-color and
black-and-white archival photographs. Affecting personal reminiscences, from both officers
and en listed men, give readers an intimate look at the reality of the men who lived and
died on board. Amazon.com

All
the World's Battleships : 1906 to the Present
Ian Sturton (Editor)
For two generations, battleships, sometimes known as all-big-gun ships, represented the
military might and pride of their countries. They threatened, they impressed, they
surprised in a way that no other symbol could, and their presence could influence events
for hundreds of miles around. Their like will never be built again, as the capital ships
of today and tomorrow are platforms for missiles or aircraft. This volume provides the
technical data, gives the design background, and outlines the careers of the world's
battleships and battlecruisers. Amazon UK

Battleship:
the Loss of the Prince of Wales and the Repulse
Martin Middlebrook, Patrick Mahoney
On Wednesday 10 December 1941, the third day of the war with Japan, two Royal Navy capital
ships were sunk off Malaya by air torpedo attack. They had not requested the air support
that could have saved them and 840 men died in the battleship "HMS Prince of
Wales" and the battle cruiser "HMS Repulse". Taking full advantage of
British Second World War documents and the Japanese Official History, the authors
re-create for the reader not only what happened on that sunny morning, but also what it
was like for the men involved. They dispose of several myths to explain what happened in
those confused hours, and address the uncertainty, controversy and strong emotions that
surrounded the militarily disasterous sinkings and the tragic aftermath. Amazon UK

Requiem
for Battleship Yamato (Bluejacket Books)
by Yoshida Mitsuru, Richard H. Minear (Translator)
Requiem for Battleship Yamato is Yoshida Mitsuru's story of his own experience as a junior
naval officer aboard the fabled Japanese battleship as it set out on a last, desperate
sortie in April 1945. Yoshida was on the bridge during Yamato's fatal encounter with
American airplanes, and his eloquent, moving account of that battle makes a singular
contribution to the literature of the Pacific war. The book has long been considered a
classic in both Japan and the United States. As with most great battle stories, its
ultimate concern is less bombs and bullets than human nature, less death than life. This
sensitive translation by Richard Minear is totally faithful to Yoshida's original prose,
its language vigorous and idiomatic yet poetic in nature. An informative introduction puts
the work in historical and political context and discusses Yoshida's postwar search for
the meaning of peace. Amazon.com
