Octavo, blue & white boards (hardcover), silver lettering, 553 pp. Near Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: This powerfully argued, objective history of the modern U.S. Navy explains how the Navy defined its purpose in the century after 1890. It relates in detail how the Navy formed and reformed its doctrine of naval force and operations around a concept articulated by Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan -- a concept of offensive sea control by a battleship fleet, and, new to America, the need to build and maintain an offensive battle fleet in peacetime. However, there were many years, notably in the 1920s and after World War II, when there was no enemy at sea, when the country turned inward, when the Navy could not count on support for an expensive peacetime battle fleet. After 45, especially, the inappropriateness of Mahanian principles strained a service that had taken them for granted, as did the centralization of the military establishment and the introduction of new weapons. What, then, did the Navy do? It shrewdly adapted old ideas to new technology. To reclaim its position in a general war, and avoid being transformed into a mere transport service, the Navy (with the Marine Corps) proved it was capable of power projection onto the land through seaborne bombers armed with nuclear weapons and by building a ballistic missile-launching submarine force. The growth of a Soviet sea force in the 1970s and 1980s revived the moribund sea power doctrine, but the Navy's bid for strategic leadership failed in the face of the war-avoidance policy of the Cold War. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Navy finally retired Mahan's doctrine that the defeat of the enemy fleet was the Navy's primary objective. Having proven itself in the course of the century as ever adaptable, the service moved back from sea control to a doctrine of expeditionary littoral warfare. This volume, then, is a history of how a war-fighting organization responded -- in doctrine, strategy, operations, preparedness, self-awareness, and force structure -- to radical changes in political circumstance, technological innovation, and national needs and expectations.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 568 pages. A navy is a state's main instrument of maritime force. What it should do, wha t doctrine it holds, what ships it deploys, and how it fights are determined by practical political and military choices in relation to national needs. Choices are made according to the state's goals, perceived threat, maritime opportunity, technological capabilities, practical experience, and, not the least, the way t he sea service defines itself and its way of war. This book is a history of the modern U.S. Navy. It explains how the Navy, in the century after 1890, was forme d and reformed in the interaction of purpose, experience, and doctrine. Editori al Reviews Review Baer takes what could have been a dry topic?the political his tory of the modern U.S. Navy?and turns it into interesting reading. -- Library J ournal This is clearly one of the two or three most important works in American naval history published in the last decade; it has the potential to become a cl assic in the field. Well researched and carefully nuanced, it provides a distinc tive perspective on the evolving historical relationship between national intere st and national politics on the one hand and naval power on the other. Not only is this a significant contribution to scholarship?one that will critically influ ence how historians and political scientists think about American naval power?it is an enormously readable work. Baer writes beautifully, and he has organized h is material effectively. The book is fully accessible to anyone interested in na val history. -- Edward Rhodes ?
