Guardians of the North Atlantic, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

For over 75 years, NATO has provided for the collective defence of the Euro-Atlantic area. Naval forces have always played a key role in this endeavour. This volume describes the development of the Allies' maritime strategies since the mid-1980s, traces the rise of maritime security after the end of the Cold War, and outlines the impact of America's relative loss of power, Russia's violent challenge to the European security order, and China's rise as a maritime world power. How have European and American navies coped with these changing times? Which fleets did they deploy, how, where and for what purpose?

The editors are naval strategist and political scientist Dr. Sebastian Bruns and the military historian and Commander (German Navy) Dr. Christian Jentzsch .
