Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Trafalgar, Tsushima, Midway, and other epic blue-water fleet actions are not likely to have their counterparts in the early twenty-first century. Since the end of the Cold War there has been an increased interest instead in the way that navies directly influence events where sea, air and land interact. Yet, in the broad sweep of military history this is nothing new. In Sea Power Ashore and in the Air leading historians look back over more than a hundred years, to show how navies have often made a critical difference to the fighting ashore and the contest for mastery in the air.
