Killingholme Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Is there a decent, detailed English-language history of the Imperial Russian Navy? There seems to be loads of Russo-Japanese war books, but nothing much about the history of the Navy 17th-19th centuries. Any suggestions?

MikeR Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The only ones I can think of are these: Russian Warships in the Age of Sail 1696-1860: Design, Construction, Careers and Fates, Imperial Russian Navy 1890s-1916 and The Imperial Russian Navy. The last two are a bit expensive now whilst the first one seems to be a bit of a hit or miss depending on what your looking for. Hope that helps, Mike.

Killingholme Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Cheers Mike, They look just the ticket, although I don't think I'll be buying all three at once! If only there was an equivalent of the Russian aviation books by Yefim Gordon for the naval enthusiast! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael M Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 If you specifically think of Russo-Japanese war there are two good ones published by Leonaur: http://www.leonaur.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=65_66_453&product_id=11110 2 volumes here: http://www.leonaur.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=65_66_453&product_id=11119 http://www.leonaur.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=65_66_453&product_id=11120 those are from Russian perspective, you may not like what they write about England Now i see they also have one from the other side, i don't have that one: http://www.leonaur.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=65_66_453&product_id=11244 If you're looking for pictures of Russian ships, try www.tsushima.su I hope this is helpful.
