by United States Fleet (Author), Jellicoe [Ai] (Foreword by)
If you cut your teeth on the history of the US Navy in World War II -- Morison, Friedman, Beech, Hornfischer -- you'll find this book an irrestible, and irreplaceable, addition to your bookshelf. In 260 thoroughly illustrated pages it sketches out exactly what US Navy doctrine was at the culmination of the most successful naval war in history, which left the US Navy in unquestioned command of all the world's oceans. It's a fascinating read, and a must for anyone interested in the history of the US Navy. It's also great context for understanding the DNA of modern naval warfare. While ranges and speeds have increased, most of the fundamental challenges in protecting fleets at sea remain largely unchanged. This book is annotated by Nimble AI and includes a Foreword by Jellicoe [AI]; a variety of pithy, opinionated abstracts including scientific style, tldr, tldr one word, Explain It to Me Like I'm Five Years Old, and Action Items; tools for viewpoint diversity such as Dissents, Red Team Critiques, and MAGA Perspectives; a recursive summary with synopsis; and an extended table of contents with summaries of each page.
