I've got a couple of those and "Cold War Prototypes" is a fairly good book. Dosn't go to deeply into the subject just about right for me.

The Sweetman and Gunstone "Stealth" books were interesting at the time, but I've no idea how they've stood up to the test of time.


The "British Navy - a History" depends on the author. I've a couple of books with this title or very similar
