Review
"The First Destroyers provides an in-depth history based on original sources of the Torpedo Boat Destroyers of the 1890s - the first ever built. Admiralty documents and plans are used to reveal the history and development of these vessels. Plenty of photos, diagrams and descriptions enhance an excellent coverage." -- Midwest Book Review
