JORDAN, John & MOULIN, Jean. French Destroyers, Torpilleurs  d’Escadre & Contre-Torpilleurs 1922-1956. 240p., bibliog., illus., index. Barnsley: Seaforth; Annapolis: NIP, 2015. ISBN: 1848321988.

Between the wars the French produced some of the largest, and certainly the fastest, destroyers in the world. Known as Contre-Torpilleurs, these striking and innovative super-destroyers form the core of this book, but the more conventional Torpilleurs d Escadre are also covered. This history combines the technical and service material published in French-language monographs over the past two decades with the authors own research from primary sources.
