This book contains much rarely encountered information that the specialist will find valuable, yet it is written in an accessible style and covers topics that will appeal to the general reader. It's multi-national orientation delivers a fresh view of the Naval War in contrast to many English-language accounts that are written from the perspective of the American and British victors. Vincent P. O'Hara (born 24 December 1951) is a naval author and historian. Vincent O'Hara is an independent scholar with a degree in History from the University of California, Berkeley. O'Hara has authored, co-authored or edited twelve books and contributed articles to publications, including Naval War College Review, MHQ, Storia Militare, Seaforth World Naval Review, America in WWII, World War II, and World War II History. He was an assistant editor of ABC Clio's Encyclopedia of World War II at Sea and has written introductions to two volumes of the U.S. Naval Operations in World War II series by Samuel E. Morison republished by the U.S. Naval Institute. An international team of naval historians and scholars, including John Jordan (France), Peter Schenk with Karsten Klein, Dr. Axel Niestle, Dieter Thomaier and Berndt R. Wenzel (Germany), David Wragg (Great Britain), Enrico Cernuschi and Vincent O'Hara (Italy) Mark Peattie (Japan), Trent Hone (United States) and Stephen McLaughliln (USSR) has pooled their expertise for this definitive reference on how the great navies of World War II were organized and how they trained, operated, and fought. They provide a point-by-point evaluation on the inner workings of the navies of the United States, the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, Japan, Germany, Italy, France, and the Soviet Union. Each navy has its own chapter, which covers such key features as weaponry, training, logistics, and doctrine. In bringing together data buried in specialized works in various languages, the authors deliver a fresh, multinational view of the naval war.

Includes list of Maps, Tables, and Illustrations, as well as Acknowledgments, Conclusion, Appendix: Conversions and Abbreviations, Notes, Bibliography, and Index. Chapters cover Austria-Hungary: Die Kaiserliche un…d Konigliche Kriegsmarine; France: La Marine Nationale; Germany: Kaiserliche Marine; Great Britain: The Royal Navy; Italy: Regia Marina; Russia: Rossiiskii imperatorskii flot; United States: The U.S. Navy; Other Navies; and Conclusion. Includes 7 maps, 74 Tables, and 32 Illustrations. O'Hara has led a team of experts in writing a uniform and comprehensive study of each of the major and minor navies of World War I. Each navy is described, from their history to their warships and their design; ports and resources that they had available; their training, strategic and tactical doctrine, and conduct of the war on, over, and under the waves. This is an excellent introduction to the navies of all of the major and minor powers of World War I. Vincent P. O'Hara (born 24 December 1951) is a naval author and historian. Vincent O'Hara has a degree in History from the University of California, Berkeley. O'Hara has authored, co-authored or edited twelve books and contributed articles to publications, including Naval War College Review, Storia Militare, Seaforth World Naval Review, America in WWII, World War II, and World War II History. He was an assistant editor of ABC Clio's Encyclopedia of World War II at Sea and wrote introductions to two volumes of the U.S. Naval Operations in World War II series by Samuel E. Morison republished by the Naval Institute. The only comparative analysis available of the great navies of World War I--each chapter is written by a recognized expert fluent in the subject language. The work studies the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom (John Roberts), the German Kaiserliche Marine (Dr. Peter Schenk with Axel Niestlé and Dieter Thomaier) the United States Navy (Trent Hone), the French Marine Nationale (Jean Moulin), the Italian Regia Marina (Enrico Cernuschi and Vincent P. O'Hara) the Austro-Hungarian Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine (Zvonimir Freivogel), and the Imperial Russian Navy (Stephen McLaughlin) to demonstrate why the war was won, not in the trenches, but upon the waves. It explains why these seven fleets fought the way they did and why the war at sea did not develop as the admiralties and politicians of 1914 expected. After discussing each navy's goals and circumstances and how their individual characteristics impacted the way they fought, the authors deliver a side-by-side analysis of the conflict's fleets, with each chapter covering a single navy. Parallel chapter structures assure consistent coverage of each fleet--history, training, organization, doctrine, materiel, and operations--and allow readers to easily compare information among the various navies. The book clearly demonstrates how the naval war was a collision of 19th century concepts with 20th century weapons that fostered unprecedented development within each navy and sparked the evolution of the submarine and aircraft carrier. The work is free from the national bias that infects so many other books on World War I navies. As they pioneer new ways of viewing the conflict, the authors provide insights and material that would otherwise require a massive library and mastery of multiple languages. Such a study has special relevance today as 20th-century navies struggle to adapt to 21st-century technologies.
