For those who appreciate the history of the United States, this book will inspire you and give a background into our heritage of naval history. Each section is organized by time period, and information is accompanied with historical photographs, illustrations and paintings from the respective era.
This is a hardbound book with white simulated leather and the US Navy Seal on the front cover. The book is well done, and this would make a great gift for any current or prior member of the United States Navy or anyone who is deeply interested in the history of this wonderful country that we call home. Who knows? You may recognize someone that you know in this book (like I did, when I saw myself in it). Buy a piece of history to pass on to your loved ones, or give this book as a gift to honor his or her service to our great nation. VERDICT: Highly recommend.

I purchased this as a gift for my father, a former naval officer, andhe was touched. The book cover looks stunning, very elegant. THe book itself is very large, but it should be, it wouldn't be the same if so much as a page was left out. The pictures are stunning. The book contains a thorough history of the U.S. Navy, and has many sidebar articles on interesting historical tidbits. I cannot say enough about the pictures. Many, many ships are represented, along with famous and not so famous battles, events, and people important to the U.S. Naval history. This is a great gift for any Navy afficionado.
