Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Eigentlich ein schönes Buch, aber ich hatte mehr davon erwartet.
Angeblich sind ja die neusten Kenntnisse berücksichtigt. Die Pläne die von Frankreich über Deutschland nach Russland kamen und nach ende des kalten Krieges wieder zurückggeben wurden. Warum wurde dann bei der Gascogne und der Clemont nur ein aktueller Plan von der Brücke eingefügt und alle andere Pläne zu dem Schiffen sind auf dem alten Stand?
Für Besitzer des alten Buches/Bücher (je nach Auflage) lohnt sich dementsprechend ein Kauf nicht. Es sind zwar ein paar neue Sachen dazugekommen, aber dafür fehlen auch ein paar alte.
Aus dem Buch hätte man wesentlich mehr machen können. Schade das man das nicht gemacht hat.

This book gives a detailed account of the development and service histories of the four battleships of the Dunkerque- and Richelieu Classes, not more, not less. Their older cousins - the Courbet- and Provence-Classes - are mentioned only briefly, despite the fact that they underwent major updates in the 1920's and 1930's, and despite the fact that they were still very present in WW II. Their real battle value may have been questionable, but at least one of them fired her guns in anger as late as 1945 so I think they deserved more than the fleeting mention they enjoyed in "French Battleships 1922-1956", the title indicating a broader scope than the one actually attempted by this book.
On the other hand, if someone looks for first-class reference regarding the latest French Battleships, the quadruple-turreted Dunkerque- and Richelieu-classes, he doesn't have to look any farther than to this book. Detailed accounts on both their design history and their actual build are complemented with detailed drawings and a host of technical data, including data on their armament. But this is only one half of the book - the other half is their operational history, including, even if limited, a discussion of the political background which led to tragic events as the "battles" of Mers-el-Kebir, Dakar and Casablanca, and which, more than anything, kept them from playing a major role in the battles of the second world war.
Great pictures and colour drawings complete the book, which is a fitting tribute to France's last battleships and the men who manned them. ("France's Last Battleships", by the way, would have been a better-fitting title than the one actually selected ;-))

Nice technical and operational history
4. Oktober 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book primarily covers the WWII-era French battleships Dunkerque, Strassbourg, Richelieu, and Jean Bart, from a technical and historical perspective. It appears to be an English-language update of French-language monographs written on this topic by one of the two authors, previously published by "Marines Editions".
The book is worth purchasing for its own sake, however. Although much of the material is similar to its predecessor, it is organized differently, and it is written in English. It also contains additional material, including 2 preliminary chapters discussing the planned/constructed French battleship predecessors of these ships, color plans and profiles showing paint schemes, and a bit more historical discussion. The book also exhibits very high-quality production values, with improved line drawings, diagrams, and photographs.
The bibliography is a bit sketchy.
Although I already own the Dulin/Garzke/Webb "Allied Battleships in World War Two", as well as the Dumas monographs mentioned above, and thus already have access to similar material, I was happy with my purchase.

French Battleships described in detail
4. November 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book has extremely large amounts of detailed information on many aspects of warship design that are skipped in other books. Details on the projectile design are excellent, for example. Since this is the "business end" of the warship's ability to defeat an enemy, the design of projectiles and how they work is important, second only to the fire-control system that aims them at the target (being able to hit is somewhat more important than best possible results when a hit occurs, if you have to pick one or the other). The various problems that occurred due to the designers "biting off more than they could chew" in some aspects of the design of these ships shows the importance of limiting the risk by using equipment that already exists or that is not a lot different from current designs -- the problems with the anti-aircraft systems is particularly informative. All-in-all, well worth the price if this is interesting to you.

Worth every cent!
18. Dezember 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a wonderful book. Authored by two of the foremost contemporary authorities on French warships, it is a greatly enhanced, single-volume elaboration -- in English -- of Robert Dumas' three-part French-language monograph covering the battleships "Dunkerque," "Strassbourg," "Richelieu" and "Jean Bart." This work's scope includes a look back at French dreadnought battleships commissioned and planned prior to 1932; as well as the fullest English-language profile I have seen of the never-completed battleship designs projected after 1939 ("Clemenceau," "Gascogne" and "Alsace"). The authors do a commendable job of describing the historic, political and technical factors influencing French capital ship development and procurement; then follow up with thorough technical descriptions and revealing operational histories of the four completed ships. The volume concludes with a candid and balanced assessment of the ships and comparisons with foreign contemporaries. The text is clear and to-the-point. The accompanying photos emphasize close-up views showing general arrangements and details of ship's equipment, but also include overall portraits demonstrating the changing profiles of the vessels throughout their lives. Especially delightful are the eight pages presenting 23 side elevation and overhead views -- in color -- of "Dunkerque," "Strassbourg," "Richelieu," "Jean Bart," "Clemenceau" and "Gascogne" as they appeared at different stages of their careers. These drawings are beautifully executed. Most of the numerous line drawings -- many prepared specifically by Mr. Jordan for this volume -- are well-done. This book does justice to these handsome and technically innovative ships while filling a long-neglected need in the English literature on naval history. I own the French-language Dumas trilogy that was the starting point for "French Battleships 1922-1956," but feel that this book was well worth its price.
