Landing on a hostile beach is one of the most ancient forms and
still most difficult forms of warfare. It requires unparalleled
levels of planning, organisation, coordination and cooperation
between the services. After the disasters of Gallipoli and
Zeebrugge in the World War I, amphibious operations reached their
maturity in World War II, and were essential in the defeat of
Japan, while the D-Day landings signaled the beginning of the end
for Hitler. Since 1945, myriad expeditionary naval forces have set
off for a wide range of destinations, including Korea, Vietnam, the
Falkland Islands, Grenada, the Balkans and Iraq in 2003. In the
post-Cold War era, amphibious warfare has reached new heights of
importance in its ability to intervene rapidly in crisis
situations. Rather than following a narrative history, Amphibious
Warfare takes the unique approach of building up the different
stages of an amphibious campaign chapter by chapter, illustrating
each with case studies. From planning and preparation to reaching
landing zones, from beachhead consolidation to securing a target,
Amphibious Warfare offers the complete picture of the people,
strategy and tactics, ships and landing craft, tanks and aircraft,
as well as the assaults involved. Illustrated with more than 150
photographs and including a colour plate section of more than 40
artworks, Amphibious Warfare is the complete guide to a form of
conflict of increasing relevance to the modern world.
