This is a well written and well illustrated study of the Naval wars between Holland and England during the Commonwealth and in Charles II's reign. France was allied to England most of the time. It's a fascinating period full of intrigue and action the main character of this epic is the Dutch Admiral De Ruyter. Other main characters are William III, Prince Rupert, James, Duke of York and Robert Blake. This period was new to me in the Naval sense - I have read books on the land campaigns but I kept thinking what a great book it was and how it would make a stirring wargames campaign.
