Praise for this book
Great Powers, Grand Strategies, a book edited by the Naval Institute Press, deals with China's expansion and its interests in the South China Sea. It is quite current and addresses a theme that has been worrying the international community in recent years. --O Velho General
For modelers, boat construction historians and those who simply like big fast boats in action 'Allied Coastal Forces' Volume 2. is a must have book. --The Australian Naval Institute
This also is a must have book for anyone interested in coastal warfare and a great companion to Volume 1. --Thomo's Hole
This volume is the type of reference work that ship modellers and persons interested in the history of na-vies and small boat actions will likely want to own themselves, for ease of access and consultation. It is still among the best books on the Fairmile, a very useful and under-appreciated wartime coastal craft. --The Northern Mariner / Le marin du nord
