Disapointing, 2007-04-08
Very disapointed in this book. br / br /The analysis and arguments presented a brief, not well argued, and the author offers nothing new. br / br /He also goes into some depth on the development and build of the ships that were turned into carriers at the end of the 1st world war. Yes these existed in 1939/45 but were not now Battlecruisers. In my opinion are not relevent to this subject and waste valuble space in even mentioning them in such a brief publication. br / br /In contrast the companion volume - British Battlecruisers 1914-18, is much better thought out and offers much more than this volume.

Nothing New Here, 2007-02-09
This volume takes the traditional "Battlecruisers were a flawed concept" the author puts forward Nothing new, and outrightly contraticts the author of he the companion Volume (British Battlecruisers 19314-18) It is a pity that the authors on these two volumes did not collaborate to provide a consistent theme to this story. Of the two I would recommend the companion violumne trather than this one because of the difference in view-The volume adds nothing new to the subject
