I'm now reading this Osprey Duel book as a bit of light entertainment over the weekend. It's actually really good and full of fascinating details not just in relation to the famous encounter between the two warships but for the development of gunnery, ironclad construction technology and naval tactics in the age of steam powered screw vessels. There's also some excellent artwork, both contemporary and modern, with lots of line drawings, photographs and paintings. A good read!
