U.S. Naval Officers: Their Swords and Dirks is a lavish guide especially for weapon collectors. Full-color photographs present a vast assortment of historical swords, especially featuring the collection of the United States Naval Academy Museum, and the text narrates the amazing stories behind these weapons and the brave naval officers who wielded them. Astonishing in its close scrutiny of every last engraving upon vintage weapons, U.S. Naval Officers: Their Swords and Dirks is as appealing to lay readers who enjoy rousing true adventures as it is for weapon aficionados.
