War at Sea in the Age of Sail 1650-1850 by Andrew Lambert

War at Sea in the Age of Sail 1650-1850 by Andrew Lambert. This is part of a larger series on the history of warfare. This is supposed to be an introductory volume on the topic. The series is of varying quality this is one of the better ones. In a relatively short amount of space a lot of technical detail on tactics, strategies and chip design are presented. Frequently this includes illustrations maps and diagrams.

Highly recommended!
