Vector One offers a review of the book Charts of War: The Maps and Charts That Have Informed and Illustrated War at Sea, by John Blake. The book on Amazon. From the review: "One hundred and sixty pages in length, the book contains 150 images spanning some 800 years in time - representing significant conflicts on the oceans of the world. The charts are especially beautiful in this book, easy-to-read and in colour. From the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC to the movements of British Naval Forces in the Falkland Islands and the Gulf War of 1991, the maps and charts depict planning, operations and summary of each engagement."
