It starts slow and I did not think his account of the Navy in the Revolution was that great but it became better and better and its account of Pearl Harbor and the Second World War was absorbing and inspiring reading. It comes right up to Jan 16, 1991. The author is an Englishman but he does very well and is not critical of the U.S. I enjoyed this book tremendously. It seems the best thing I've read in its field in some time. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Risorse esterne che parlano di questo libro Wikipedia in inglese (8)To Shining Sea is a landmark work of naval history--the most comprehensive and authoritative narrative account of American sea power written in recent times. From John Paul Jones's defiant cry "I have not yet begun to fight," to the war in the Persian Gulf, Stephen Howarth chronicles the epic story of the United States Navy. Here are the first engagements of the tiny Continental Navy, the fight against the Barbary pirates, the watershed clash of the Monitor and the Merrimack, the development--from blueprint to battleship--of the U.S. Navy's first modern capital ships and submarines, the great battles of World War II in the Pacific, and the navy's deployment in Vietnam and in the Persian Gulf. For this edition, Howarth provides a new afterword discussing recent developments in the U.S. Navy. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
