Synopsis
The American version of naval history adds a certain trajectory that does not run straight from a few gunboats to glory but runs parallel to the winding path to power of the country itself. This edition of the 1978 classic reflects that path, and includes newly-created works that provide new insights into what we now know about the early and mid-twentieth century, the Cold War and recent strategy. Both classic and new works cover the navies of the American Revolution, the role of the Navy in the War of 1812, the commercial value of the 1815-1844 Navy and its work, for the Union and the Confederacy, the Navy of growing international power, its participation in the great wars, and its course through diplomacy as one century became another. This is accessible enough to serve as a course reader as well as a reference. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
