Tables, photographs, appendices, extensive notes, bibliography, index, 439 pages. “This book became a clasic long before it was published. Theodoree Ropp wrote it fifty years ago but never revised it for publication, concentrating instead on a highly successful teaching career at Duke University. Even so, his work became well known to specialists. Because it still lacks any worthy competition, the zNaval Institute Press is making this important study generally available in an edition prepared by Stephen S. Roberts, an expert in French naval history.” Currently in print at $45.
