Critics Review
“Modelers and historians fond of Japanese warships will be delighted by this book.” –Nautical Research Journal
“Modelers and historians fond of Japanese warships will be delighted by this book.” —Nautical Research Journal “[A] beautifully presented book of first-rate photographs.” —Baird Maritime “Battleships and Battle Cruisers is an excellent continuation of this series of Imperial Japanese Navy image repositories, characterized by impressive clear and detailed photographs not often encountered in English language sources. The inclusion of early vessels and modernization images clearly showcases the origins and evolutions of Japanese naval design from the beginning to end, from foreign-built warships to the iconic IJN Yamato and her sister ship Musashi. This work is a welcome addition for scholarly researchers, naval historians, and detail-oriented ship modelers alike.” —The Northern Mariner
