John Jordan is a former language teacher. He is the author of two major books on the Soviet Navy, and more recently co-authored French Battleships 1922-56 (Seaforth, 2009) with Robert Dumas. He has been associated with Warship from its earliest beginnings and took over the editorship in 2004.
The authoritative contributors, along with the sheer level of research that's clearly been undertaken, continue to make the annual editions of Warship a genuine and reliable source of information for anyone interested in naval history and current development trends. -- Dave Woolley * Modelboats * This is a book aimed at the specialist naval reader looking to extend the breadth of their knowledge in an enjoyable manner. -- , * Army Rumour Service * For those interested in the history and development of world navies, it's an annual treat with high production standards. -- Chris May * The Armourer Magazine * A superb collection of fascinating essays, beautifully presented and published this series never fails to deliver- and Jordan has already planned next year's edition! Very highly recommended. -- Peter Wykeham-Martin * Warship World *
