American Battleships: A Pictorial History of BB-1 to BB-71, with Prototypes Maine & Texas by Max R. Newhart delivers a condensed yet sweeping account of U.S. capital-ship development from the pre-dreadnought era through the great dreadnought classes. Focusing on BB‑1 through BB‑71 and the prototype vessels Maine and Texas, the book situates design changes, armament and armor evolution, and construction materials within the broader 20th‑century naval context, tracing how these ships shaped American sea power and contributed to Allied naval strength in World War II.
Presented as a compact pictorial reference, the volume couples succinct historical narrative with technical documentation for each class—construction materials, specifications and performance data—accompanied by photographs and technical plates that illustrate design differences and refits. The result is a practical reference for history enthusiasts, modelers and researchers: a visual and technical catalog of American battleship development compiled by Max R. Newhart.

New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
