It also provides a clear and straightforward examination of the final stages of the transition of the destroyer, from ships suited to a single mission, to ships that needed to perform a variety of functions in a changing world." -- The Northern Mariner "This is a thoroughly recommended study of three of Britain's most important classes of warship." --Key Military " Tribals, Battles and Darings opens a window into a period of transition for warships while offering an accessible starting place for looking at the people, events, and ships that influenced this unique period in history.

Synopsis
Tribals, Battles and Darings describes the three classes, each designed under different circumstances along destroyer lines but to general-purpose light cruiser form, from the interwar period through to the 1950s, and Alexander Clarke explains the procurement process for each class in the context of the needs and technology of the times. This is the first work to focus these three classes side by side, to examine their conception, their creation and their operational stories, many heroic, and to provide an insight into ship design, operation and culture. In doing so the book aims to contribute a better understanding of one of the most significant periods in the Royal Navy's history.

    Ordered 6 Kagero Publishing books from him. For some reason the US Post Offal lost them! NOT the sellers fault! He even started a trace before I could. When they finally arrived I found them to be extremely well packed with absolutely no damage even though they went around the system! I will be buying from him again. All of them were as advertised, and I am VERY happy with them. His communication was superb.

    Thank you for the positive feedback. That was a stressful USPS tracking ordeal! I think the package went through two weather delays! I am super happy they arrived safely.
