San Diego's Navy: An Illustrated History

Rating:
Summary: Refreshing Read by Wonderful Author
Review: If you are a California history fan or a Naval history fan - or both - this is an innovative, colorful treatise on the Navy in San Diego. Bruce Linder clearly knows his stuff, and this book shows his inimitable style.

Definitely not a 'coffee table book', and well worth the read, I recommend it highly. :)

Summary: Over a hundred fifty years of maritime history
Review: This illustrated history of the California coastal navy will intrigue any with a special affection for either Southern California or the Navy: San Diego's Navy provides over a hundred fifty years of maritime history and traces a relationship between the city and the navy which began during the opening days of the Mexican War and continues to modern times. Anticipate many black and white photos, a centerfold of color photos, and much detail on San Diego.
