Sobre este artículo

UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.NFINE/NFINE.No owner inscrptn,and no price- clip to dw/dj.Slight water-stain to inner top edge dw/dj+boards.Small clip top corner of map decorated front fep.Top corner rear board slightly bumped and slight rubbing dw/dj in situ.8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn,292pp includes a glossary,a select bibliography,an index,b/w plates, photographs and maps. The aim of KEEGAN's book is to apply to warfare at sea the same technique he employed in his classic work 'The Face of Battle',so to discover how men have fought at sea,and to explore the nature of the individuals' experience of combat over changing times.The conflicts KEEGAN has chosen begin with Trafalgar in 1805,a classic and well-documented example of a ship-of-the-line battle.Next he turns to Jutland,posing very different problems for commanders and seamen alike.Then to the Battle of Midway,where he examines the particular role played by the aircraft carrier,with its 'two societies',that of the ship itself and that of the 'air group' elite which supplied its raison d'etre.Finally he examines the Battle of the Atlantic,in which he recreates a picture of both everyday life and operational routine within the boat that saw the last great technical transformatiom of naval operations,and ultimately the most significant - the submarine.The book concludes with a survey of how naval warfare may be expected to evolve in the future - with surface navies disappearing altogether.
