This classic study has been recognised since 1939 as the comprehensive work on the development and dynamics of American naval policy.Set against the background of
the first 142 years of American history the authors have examined and synthesized in broad perspective the ideas and forces that produced the ships,the shore establishments,the public attitudes,and the traditions and doctrines of the US Navy.
Beginning the American naval epic with the lessons of the Revolution,the authors devote chapters to such topics as Federalist policy, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the beginnings of the New Navy,
the influences of Alfred Thayer Mahan and the stategic lessons and political consequences of WW1.
Required reading for generations of naval
officers until it went out of print in 1968,this book was called '...a work of great importance and long-time value.' by The New York Times.Scholars of naval history will welcome its return and a new generation of students will be fascinated and inspired by its powerful language and impecable scholarship.
