Nighthawk Publishing
Nighthawk Publishing is introducing innovative methods to bring readers accurate, current information fast.
Traditional publishing methods have meant that titles take several years from when the author thought of the subject to the finished book being available in the book shops. That is frustrating for authors and it means that readers do not gain access to information until it is obsolete if the title covers a dynamic subject. Many potential authors are never published because they become so frustrated by the effort required to find a publisher and bring a book to market. That means that valuable insights into many subjects are lost for all time.

| We shall fight on the Beaches – Defying Napoleon & Hitler, 1805 and 1940 |
|
Britain was long protected by her navy and the sea that surrounded the British Isles. What makes this book particularly important and worthwhile is that he has taken both threats and identified where they were similar and where they introduced unique aspects. In doing so, he has provided an extension of knowledge for those who concentrate on either Napoleonic or WWII history, bringing some fresh insights also into their favoured periods of history.

| The Restoration Warship – The Design, Construction and Career of a Third Rate of |
|
This fine volume achieves several things together. The excellent illustrations provide detail that a modelmaker needs, but also shows the detail of the construction of the original vessel explaining how it was put together. Some experienced modelmakers will undoubtedly exactly follow the construction rather than making frames from ply or board to create a model that will match the quality of this book. However, the book is much more than a guide for modellers. It contains a history of the design and construction and operation of this third rater. The Restoration Navy has traditionally received much less coverage than it merits.

| The Sea Chart – The Illustrated History of Nautical Maps and Navigational |
|
Some books may be particularly well illustrated but few are works of art. This book fits into the latter category and is also packed with information. It is a natural companion to Empire of the Seas. The pricing is very aggressive for a book of this quality. Excellent
