Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xvii, [1], 230, [8] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Henry J. "Jerry" Hendrix (born 1966) is an American defense analyst, author, naval historian, and retired U.S. Navy captain. He has been noted for his work on force structure planning of the United States Navy, including the role of the aircraft carrier in modern strategic environments, the structure of the carrier air wing, and more recently, U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to build a 355 ship navy. Hendrix served as a senior military assistant to Andrew Marshall, and has been suggested as a possible candidate for the offices of Undersecretary of the Navy and director of the United States Department of Defense Office of Net Assessment. This book examines President Theodore Roosevelt's use of the United States naval services as supporting components of his diplomatic efforts to facilitate the emergence of the United States as a Great Power at the dawn of the 20th century. The book reveals Roosevelt's use of the Navy and Marine Corps to support American interests during the controversial Venezuelan Crisis, Panama's independence movement, the Morocco-Perciaris Incident and the choice of a navy yard as the sight for the negotiations that ended the Russo-Japanese War. The book details how Roosevelt's actions combined to thrust the United States forward onto the world's stage as a major player, and cemented T.R's place in American history as a great president. This history provides new information that finally lays to rest the controversy of whether Theodore Roosevelt did or did not issue an ultimatum to the German and British governments in December, 1902. It also reveals a secret war plan which envisioned the Marine Corps invading Colombia to defend the sovereignty of the new Panamanian republic.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The national conversation regarding the United States Navy has, for far too long, been focused on the popular question of how many ships does the service need 'To Provide and Maintain a Navy,' a succinct but encompassing treatise on sea power by Dr. Henry J 'Jerry' Hendrix, goes beyond the numbers to reveal the crucial importance of Mare Liberum (Free Sea) to the development of the Western thought and the rules based order that presently governs the global commons that is the high seas. Proceeding from this philosophical basis, Hendrix explores how a 'free sea' gave way to free trade and the central role sea borne commercial trade has played in the overall rise in global living standards. This is followed by analysis of how the relative naval balance of power has played out in terms of naval battles and wars over the centuries and how the dominance of the United States Navy following World War II has resulted in seven decades of unprecedented peace on the world's oceans. He further considers how, in the years that followed the demise of the Soviet Union, both China and Russia began laying the groundwork to challenge the United States maritime leadership and upend five centuries of naval precedents in order to establish a new approach to sovereignty over the world's seas. It is only at this point that Dr. Hendrix approaches the question of the number of ships required for the United States Navy, the industrial base required to build them, and the importance of once again aligning the nation's strategic outlook to that of a 'seapower' in order to effectively and efficiently address the rising threat. 'To Provide and Maintain a Navy' is brief enough to be read in a weekend but deep enough to inform the reader as to the numerous complexities surrounding what promises to be the most important strategic conversation facing the United States as it enters a new age of great power competition with not one, but two nations who seek nothing less than to close and control the world's seas.
