Cruiser at war

Haines, G: 1978 UK, hardcover with dust jacket, 144 pages. Cruiser at War by Gregory Haines describes the development, design and worldwide operations of the cruiser from its origins as the “eyes of the fleet” to its roles in the World Wars and early Cold War era, highlighting key classes, armament, and tactical employment. The book combines concise technical data and “vital statistics” with campaign narratives and photographs to show how cruisers adapted from gun and commerce protection duties to anti-aircraft, shore bombardment and missile-age tasks.
