Thirteen chapters of highly readable text tell the story of the Royal Navy's biggest post-war warship from the date that the Amiralty ordered the ship in the spring of 1942 to the first week of 1979,when she lay at the breaker's yard in Scotland.
The in-depth research has allowed the author to cover the Eagle's career in great detail through each commission,and the story is enlivened by memories from ex-members of her ship's company.
There are over 170 photographs covering the Eagle's career from her launch up to her arrival at the breaker's yard.
