Reviews

Dodson and Cant's joint effort has produced a fascinating and authoritative book on a subject that has not previously received sufficient attention. It can fairly be described as the definitive work on this complex subject. --Australian Naval Institute

"""No ship's history is complete without its final fate. The level of research that has gone into Spoils of War sets a new standard for ship disposition accuracy and will serve as the baseline for future historical research. A must for every serious maritime historian's reference shelf."" --Sea Classics ""This volume offers a fascinating survey of problems of integrating these ships into relatively modern navies as indicated by the experiences of the Soviet and the French navies which were the primary operational users of surrendered warships. It also provides a valuable glimpse into what the Allies of both World Wars learned from these vessels.... This is a well-written and heavily researched work that deserves to be on the shelf of anyone with a strong interest in naval history and warship design."" --The Northern Mariner / Le marin du nord ""This book will be invaluable for maritime researchers; to have so much material combined into one comprehensive volume is a Godsend for historians and archaeologists alike."" --Warship ""Dodson and Cant's joint effort has produced a fascinating and authoritative book on a subject that has not previously received sufficient attention.
