The Encyclopedia of Sea Warfare: from the first ironclads to the present day by Bernard Brett offers a sweeping, narrative and visual tour of naval combat’s evolution—from the advent of 19th‑century ironclads and the transition from sail to steam and steel, through pivotal 20th‑century engagements and technological leaps. Presented in an encyclopedic format, it traces landmark battles, influential commanders and groundbreaking ship designs, making complex developments in strategy and engineering accessible and engaging for both enthusiasts and newcomers to naval history.
Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, the book features vivid photographs and detailed diagrams and drawings that clarify ship construction, armament and comparative design; its reference layout is designed for quick factual lookup and thematic study. Covering global naval history across the 19th and 20th centuries—its “present day” reflecting the mid‑1970s—Brett’s authoritative yet readable style makes this a valuable illustrated historical and technical reference for collectors and students of sea warfare.

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.
