Product Description
One of the few comprehensive histories of the U.S. Navy from it's beginnings through WWII, distinguished not only for it's complete narrative account but also it's coverage of the varied peacetimes roles of the Navy. Including extensive treatments of the War of 1812, the Civil War, and WW II, the work remains unmatched for it's acceessible and complete narrative history og the Navy but also it's account of the close relationship that has existed between naval affairs and the political, economic, military, and other broad aspects of national life during peacetimes as well as war. The author, a U.S. Navy Commodore, presents many assessments of the strategies of decisive naval battles. Foreword to this edition by Admiral Chester W. Nimitz and Introduction by Vice-Admiral WIlliam L. Rogers. Reprint of the revised, 1948 edition. 2006: 730 pages, many illustrations and maps. Index. (Scholar's Bookshelf)
