The Dynamics of Coalition Naval Warfare: The Special Relationship at Sea
ISBN: 9781472475039 / Angielski / Twarda / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the end of the Second World War, few nations possess the capacity for large scale, sustained and independent naval operations; and even those that do - such as the USA - often find it politically expedient to act in consort with allies. As such coalition naval warfare increasingly became the norm throughout the twentieth-century, and shows no sign of abating in the twenty-first. Such coalitions, however, do bring their own problems as different national navies, each with their own distinct equipment, philosophies and doctrines, attempt to work within a single command structure.

ISBN: 9780198792598 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

What factors account for these differences in the interface between urban-based states and rural-based challengers? To explore this question, this volume examines two regions representing two dramatically different outcomes. In West Africa (Liberia and Sierra Leone), capital cities became economic targets for rebels, who...

This is the fourth, revised and updated, edition of Geoffrey Till's Seapower: A Guide for the 21st Century. The rise of the Chinese and other Asian navies, worsening quarrels over maritime jurisdiction and the United States' maritime pivot towards the Asia-Pacific region reminds us that the sea has always been central to human development as a source of resources, and as a means of transportation, information-exchange and strategic dominion.
