Summary: Interesting Book
Comment: I have found this book a good addition to my library. It contains sokme unique photos of minor Navy Battleships and an interesting commentary on German battleships; the book is translated from the German and brings a Non British/American slant to the topic. In addition, it shows pre-WWI in both their original form and then as modified in WWII which is rarely available from other sources which tend to describe but not illustrate the changes.

Summary: Not as Bad a Book as You Think
Comment: From the reviews seen here, one would think that Greger's book is a complete dog; but it's not that bad. One thing that Greger does well is his description of the ships of the minor naval powers such as the Austro-Hungarian and South American navies. It seems as if there is more of an emphasis on German ships, which is refreshing as there is not as much information on the Imperial German navy and Kriegsmarine as there should be. Also interesting are the drawings of the projected Soviet dreadnoughts.

A pretty good effort, definitely on a par with anything written by M. J.Whitley, and in some respects better than Whitley's latest effort on battleships. Don't write this one off completely!

Summary: Awful
Comment: I purchased this book a few months ago at full retail price. I could of overlooked it's lack of information if at least the quality of the photographs were good, but they were abysmal.
