A fine book on the last French pre-dreadnoughts of the 1900 programme :
Patrie,
R�publique,
D�mocratie,
Justice,
Libert� and
V�rit�
These six 15,000t battleships are widely covered (French text and many rare photographs) both technically and operationally. 176 pages, many B&W pictures, maps, sketches and a full set of official plans (from the CAA).
Annexes cover in detail the loss of
Libert� (magazine explosion) with pictures and damage plan from the archives.
WWI operations in the Adriatic, Aegean and Dardanelles are also covered.
A must for all French ships lovers. For those non reading French, pictures and plans will speak for themselves.
