Review title: Lots of entries, not much information
Product review: When compiling a work of this sort, the author must necessarily choose what balance between number of entires and substantiveness they want to have. The more entries there are, the less thorough each entry can be. This work seems to go too far in the number of entries it includes. It's useful if you need to know a sentence or two of information about an obscure boat or officer or something like that. However, such inclusiveness only leaves room for a few hundred words or less on major people and battles. Since the majority of people are more interested in the larger people and issues, this limits the usefulness of this work.
