STERN, Robert C. The Modern Cruiser: The Evolution of the Ships that Fought the Second World War. 288p., bibliog., illus., index. Barnsley: Seaforth, 2020. ISBN: 9781526737915.

An excellent and sumptuously produced history of the cruiser in the twentieth century, which covers all the major fleets. At the core of the book is a view of the impact of the inter-war treaties which had a huge impact on cruiser design. This broadly chronological account is focused on design issues but also considers their performance in action.
