Description:
Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Table of Contents Despite the apparent dominance of gunnery, in the age of sail sea fights were often concluded by boarding actions -- desperate and bloody hand-to-hand melees where edged weapons rather than firearms were the deciding factor. The particular needs of naval close-quarter combat produced distinctive versions of axes, pikes and cutlasses and this book surveys in full detail the whole gamut of such weapons as used in the Royal Navy and the new naval service of the United States. Heavily illustrated, Naval Edged Weapons is an accessible introduction for the general reader, but also provides a useful overview for the specialist.
