Svenska Flottans Historia. Volume I: 1521-1679. Volume II: 1680-1814. Volume III: 1815-1945. The author states in his introduction that the work was inspired partly because of the times (World War II) and partly because of the publisherÕs generosity and enthusiasm for the work, and contributions to the naval cadet corpsÓ. The rich detail in both narration and illustration makes for a wonderful tour through Swedish history as well as a great source for naval information with complete lists of ships at given times, complements of its officers and men, etc..
