The Battleship Book!

Very long time readers may recollect that before I joined Information Dissemination, I wrote a series titled "Sunday Battleship Blogging" for my other blog, Lawyers Guns and Money. Over the last year I've been collecting, re-editing, and re-organizing those posts for a book that Wildside Press will release in September. The The Battleship Book is now available for pre-order, on discount.

The Battleship Book isn't a scholarly volume, although as the spread of the dreadnought-as-type falls into my academic interests, it naturally includes some reference to the broader literatures on naval theory and military diffusion. My editor describes it more as a "folklore of battleships," which sounds about right.  In any case, I'd be honored if any of the readers of ID, who are among the most knowledgeable folks on maritime affairs on the internet, take a read and let me know their thoughts.
