Submarines of the World by Robert Jackson (2001, Paperback, Illustrated)

I bought this book for my nephew who is 13 years old and loves books about World War II. He is such a World War II Enthusiast that I think he probably will have something to do with the Military in his future. Probably will want to be a Commander or another Patton. Nevertheless, the book is most suitable for anyone who loves to read about Submarines Old and New. What strikes me as interesting is that they really haven't changed much since the early 1930's, or even before that. It seems we've had submarines longer than we've had aircraft, or just about the same period of time. I don't see anything which resembles "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", but it is a technical rather than a novel type of a book. But will make my 13 year old nephew very happy. Pictures are all in color and complete dimensions and technical information are contained on each page which represents a different submarine. Buy it for someone on their special day. Must have a few of these around ebay. I got this one on auction.
