Iron monsters!
An interesting read covers every engagement involving ironclads from Hampton Roads to the Bombardment of Alexandria.
Filled with maps, reports, and detailed summaries of the actions and vessels involved.
I found lots of information here that I have not found anywhere else, and at 920 pages in two volumes it would be a weighty tome in paper.
Highly recommended for any fans of this fascinating period of Naval history.
