Does he want more books like that—and do you want to strengthen his reading skills even further?
The Boys Book of Sea Fights is that book.Originally published in 1919, The Boys Book of Sea Fights is not just a thrilling collection of naval battles and fascinating biographies. It’s also a historical treasure, written in the same engaging style as Great Battles for Boys but for more advanced readers—or for boys who want to become advanced readers.
This edition of the book, lightly edited for modern readers by Joe Giorello and with additional historical images, remains faithful to the original text preserved for decades by librarians who recognized its worth.
While Volume 1 of the book ended with the age of sail, Volume 2 picks up with the launch of modern naval warfare and the introduction of those fearsome heavily-armed battleships known as Dreadnoughts.
Among the amazing clashes at sea are:
- The Monitor versus The Merrimac
Admiral David Farragut's many victories
Dewey's famous battle at Manila Bay
The Battle of Jutland Bank
And much more!
