Sobre este artículo
Annapolis, Maryland:: Naval Institute Press, 1987. A handsome copy. Clean, square, and tight with sharp corners. The Dust Jacket is bright and shiny. No chips. No tears. No creases. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. Pages are fresh and crisp -- apparently never read. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Illustrated with numerous photographs and line drawings. Includes fascinating diagrams, reproduced here for the first time, of projected warships that never proceeded beyond the design stage. Tables. Ten appendices. List of chapter notes/sources. Bibliography. Index. Bound in the original off-white cloth, lettered in bright blue. From the Dust Jacket: "This ground-breaking new work represents the first serious attempt to analyze the influence of British politics and economics on the evolution of postwar naval policy in Great Britain... [This book] sheds new light on the Yangtze incident and the British thoughts on the military action against the Nationalist Chinese in China's civil war. It describes plans for military interventions in Egypt in the early 1950s as well as British naval activities in the Korean War. In addition, it reveals little-known events in the Falklands some thirty years ago that presaged more recent actions there." . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine condition./Fine dust jacket.. xiii, 487pp..

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
