Hardcover. Zustand: Good. "DRAWING ON A WEALTH OF PREVIOUSLY UNEXPLOITED primary sources, this book is unquestionably the most illuminating work ever published in English on the development of Soviet naval thought. The window it opens onto the Soviet military mind provides an unparalleled view of how the current school of naval warfare evolved and helps explain the profound differences between the navies of the United States and the U.S.S.R.The author, Robert Waring Herrick, sparked years of debate with his ground-breaking first book, Soviet Naval Strategy, published in 1968 by the Naval Institute Press. Now he focuses on the period between 1917, when the Russian Revolution ended, and 1956, when Admiral Sergei Gorshkov became commander in chief of the Soviet Navy. Exhausting every scrap of material available, Herrick presents convincing evidence that during these years a new "Soviet School" of naval strategy arose, which combined the classic "Old School" belief in control of the seas through decisive naval engagements with the "Young School" belief in denial of the seas to opponents through the use of small, mobile forces. His study reveals Gorshkov to be less an original thinker than an adept politician imbued early in his career with the ideas of the Soviet School."Ex military library stock so expect to see markings and sparse annotations in the text.
