### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Interesting read...
  

*by H***P on Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2021*

This book was a replacement for one that I had misplaced after reading it a couple of times. I liked this book so much  I wanted to read it again, so i ordered another copy!  This book gives a great history of the evolution of the modern compass from the very start, all the while weaving a tale of intrigue, greed and lust for power that rivals Washington today.A great read for anyone interested in navigation, history and well, compasses in general. Worth the price of admission.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars

    Unique reading
  

*by P***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2019*

Unique hisTorical reading. It shows the challenges of developing an d navigating with the compass.  As with other books, the author will not end the book when he should, so he keeps writing boring the reader.
