Feedback on the Fletcher Pratt Naval Wargame book
'I just finished reading your new book. Brilliant! What you've put together is so much more useful than a dry recitation of the rules. And the little asides by Bothwell and others were especially interesting and helped give a real feel for what was going on at the time.' Charles Hall April 2011 'A great book! Lots of research has clearly gone into it, and I shall enjoy perusing it'. Chris Lewin April 2011 |
