Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 400 pages. Commanders at sea struggle not only with the unpredictability of natural elem ents, but also with a shroud of uncertainty often referred to as the fog of war . Over the centuries most admirals yielded to the natural temptation to find in new technologies a means to assert centralized con…trol over their forces. But o ther commanders have recognized the fog for what it is: a constant level of unce rtainty resistant to mere technological solution.In this grand history of naval warfare, Michael Palmer observes five centuries of dramatic encounters un der sail and steam. From reliance on signal flags in the seventeenth century to satellite communications in the twenty-first, admirals looked to the next advanc e in technology as the one that would allow them to control their forces. But wh ile abilities to communicate improved, Palmer shows how other technologies simul taneously shrank admirals' windows of decision. The result was simple, if not ob vious: naval commanders have never had sufficient means or time to direct subord inates in battle.Successful commanders as distant as Horatio Nelson (1758 -1805) and Arleigh Burke (1901-1996) accepted this reality. They sought solution s to the dilemmas of command in the personal indoctrination of subordinates thro ugh discussion, comradeship, and displays of trust and confidence. Such leaders created a commonality of vision and fostered a high degree of individual initiat ive. Their decentralized approach to command resulted in a resiliency that so of ten provided the key to success in battle.Palmer's exciting and enlighten ing history reveals the myriad efforts of naval commanders to navigate the fog o f war.
