Your WORST military history book?

[Dr Dave]

That Trafalgar book on the Spanish navy really is odd. The author bangs on about everything BUT Trafalgar.

He mentions the loss of the 112 gun Real Carlos on one page, then in a different chapter skirts around the loss of the 112 gun San Hermanigildo. What he fails to mention is that they were both lost to the same single RN 74 - HMS Superb. She sailed between them both at night and gave each a broadside. The two spaniards then each mistook the other for the Superb and battered each other. One caught fire and so rammed the other. Both then blew up! I thought then that the author was a blinkered devious £&?!&¥$€ !
