Recommended Reading List
ChrisW's Naval SF Recommend Reading List This page was last updated on 9 January 2009. Recommended Reading List This is the longer version of ChrisW's Naval SF Card, which I hand out at science fiction conventions. (It's a work-in-progress.) Note that this isn't just a list of my favorite books (although many of them are favorites). As a science fiction fan who happens to be a naval analyst and wargame designer, I find these books (and websites, etc.) particularly interesting or useful, for either the ideas or the execution. Books on game design Katie Salen & Eric Zimmerman: Rules of Play: Game Design Fundamentals The book on understanding what games are, and why they “work.” I expect their followup -- The Game Design Reader: A Rules of Play Anthology -- to be as good. Peter Perla: The Art of Wargaming The history of commercial and professional wargaming and the use of wargames. I own a copy at work and at home. Non-fiction books on naval/military matters Julian Corbett: Some Principles of Maritime Strategy Especially the “Green Pamphlet” appendix, which was originally a classified document written for the Royal Navy. Old but still the best single breakdown of naval theory. Free online at http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/15076. James George: History of Warships Overview of how naval ships have changed over time, and why. Wayne Hughes: Fleet Tactics: Theory and Practice or Fleet Tactics and Coastal Combat Same book, two editions (either is good). How to think about and analyze tactics, and how tactics have changed over time. -
