Total copies: 2
"This multi-authored volume is an important resource for professionals and students alike who seek information on the use of naval forces in wartime. It breaks new ground in theorising about seapower and in applying principles to historical examples. Individual essays provide general theories of maritime strategy, histories of seapower in action from the Peloponnesian wars onward, and contemporary views of the strategic uses of navies in both the West and East. Besides authoritative names in the field like Gary and Barnettt, the other authors include Wayne Hughes, John Gooch, Barry Strauss, Alvin Bernstein, Alberto Coll, Robin Ranger, Williamson Murray and Jeffrey Barlow. Together, their work not only captures the complexity of maritime strategies and operations but points to important constants useful to today's policymakers." -- SAF Professional Reading Programme, 3rd edition, Dec 2003.
