Submarines of the Tsarist Navy: A Pictorial History Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is exactly what it says it is - a pictorial history. It consists of pictures, drawings, accompanying comments and really not much more. After about 2-3 pages of introductory text it goes right into showing you the photos you will not find anywhere, but in this book or russian navy archives. There are photos of every type of submarine in the tsarist army shown, in fact I think there is one photo for every submarine built for the tsarist navy. In addition for every type of a submarine, a submarine's drawing showing its layout is included. Every type of a submarine is briefly described including technical specs, submarines built and their end. Overall it's a must have for people interested in submarine history as well as Russian navy of that period. I would recommend buying another book along with this, which will tell you in detail about operations and detailed history of the submarines pictured. I am planning to get "Submarines of the Russian and Soviet Navies, 1718-1990", which looks very promising in that respect. Enjoy your book!
