War & StrategyBook note
Seapower as Strategy
Description. A short description of a book from my bookshelf, not a review.
Friedman, one of the leading naval analysts of his generation, explains how navies serve national interests and why maritime strategy differs from war on land. He covers command of the sea, the protection of trade, power projection, the role of naval aviation and the problems of coalition operations.
The book draws on historical examples from both world wars and the Cold War, and its clear treatment of the economics and politics of sea power makes it practical reading for anyone thinking about naval strategy today.
