An extensive, richly illustrated historical work on the rise of the United States' naval power during World War II. In this fascinating narrative, historian Paul Kennedy explores the rise and fall of the Great Powers during the war by tracking the movements of the six main naval forces—the allied Britain, France, and the USA, and the Axis powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan. Kennedy tells a story of naval battles, sea campaigns, convoys, amphibious landings, and assaults from the sea. From the elimination of the Italian, German, and Japanese fleets to the end of the era of great surface ships and the rise of an unprecedented American economic and military power, Kennedy shows how the strategic map for naval affairs completely changed between 1936 and 1946.
