The Naval Review

Ian Johnston has a fine reputation as a writer about the great shipyards and shipbuilding. With this book about Fairfield he has completed the Upper Clyde ‘big three’ trilogy of John Brown and Beardmore and Fairfield. Every aspect of the yard is covered in chronological order, and the wealth of detail is fantastic. As with the other books, it is possible to trace the ups and downs and survival-or not- of the shipbuilding industry in this country. The book is illustrated with many excellent photographs of the ships being built, and the completed versions. It does make you wonder just how the amazing workforce actually dealt with the heavy and complex engineering involved. Ian highlights the many superb ships built by the yard and takes it into the current era. He has created another wonderful piece of industrial history that is well worth reading.

"Another masterly book from Nick Jellicoe - fascinating and stimulating covering not just the convoy debate side pieces on U-boat action accounts and technical explanations – very highly recommended."
