[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
This volume features some of the beautiful and illuminating artworks created by the artists who traveled with European explorers. It also includes excerpts of the writings of the explorers. These histories are fascinating but often horrifyingly colonialist. It's a startling look into the minds of the Europeans of this era.

This book was truly a haunting, and vivid description of life aboard the HMS Royal Oak, and the lives destroyed by a torpedo attack by a German submarine.
As I read this book, it was hard to not go back and look at the faces of the men that were stationed aboard this vessel, and the tragic loss of life that occurred.
Absolutely a fantastic and devastating read.

This book covers the short life of the submarine Turbulent from building to her loss. It is a story containing controversy surrounding the sinking of an Italian merchant ship, the Nino Bixio that was carrying Allied prisoners of war.
There are excellent photographs that have been located of the Turbulent and her crew which gives the book a more human touch.
