Zusatztext Praise for the first edition:'In order to understand the concept of naval warfare there are two things that are required: to be able to define what navies do for a state! and their utility for operations during total war! limited war and peace. Understanding Naval Warfare does both things very well and is a wonderfully informative and readable introduction into the complex world of naval warfare. Packed with useful definitions! explanations! examples! theoretical understanding and technical knowledge! the book is well worth the money for anyone wishing to embark on the study of naval power and its uses.' -- Greg Kennedy! Kings College London and UK Defence Academy'Ian Speller has written what is likely to become a classic in the field. Understanding Naval Warfare lives up to the promise of its title and delivers a beautifully written explanation of concepts and relevant real-world examples. This is a comprehensive examination of the conduct of naval warfare ...the work will help naval officers from Admiral to Ensign sharpen their ideas and expand the knowledge of their profession. By making obscure concepts accessible it will also be a boon to civilian policy makers and students of naval warfare.
