The gold standard in college-level American naval history texts,
edited by the foremost scholar in the field In the newly revised
second edition of America, Sea Power and the World, a team of
distinguished researchers delivers an extensive and authoritative
survey of American naval history, the place of the United States in
world affairs, and the role of that country's naval forces during
peacetime and wartime. Each chapter contains a comprehensive
analysis of its subject as well as brief sidebars describing a key
weapon or technological development of the era and a short
biographical sketch of an influential leader or representative of
the navy from that era. The book offers extensive illustration and
maps and a throughgoing emphasis on naval policy, strategy, roles,
and missions, with careful attention paid to naval operations.
These factors given greater focus than the descriptions of battle
tactics found in other texts. Readers will also find: A thorough
introduction to sea power and the modern state system, as well as
the American War for Independence at sea Comprehensive explorations

of the commercial empire until 1890 Fulsome treatments of the
Second World War in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and the Pacific,
including defensive actions in the Pacific from 1937 to 1943 and
offensive actions from 1943 to 1944. New chapters exclusive to the
2nd edition focused on the history of African Americans and women
in the US Navy, the development of joint operations and unified
command, and the naval history of the last two decades. Perfect for
undergraduate students taking courses on the naval history of the
United States, America, Sea Power and the World, Second Edition
will also earn a place in the libraries of members of the general
