Download The U.S. Navy: A Concise History AudioBook Free
This fast-paced narrative traces the emergence of the United States Navy as a worldwide power from its labor and birth during the North american Revolution through to its current superpower position. The storyline highlights iconic moments of great drama pivotal to the nation's fortunes: John Paul Jones' disorders on the Uk in the Trend, the Barbary Wars, and the arduous conquest of Iwo Jima. The book illuminates the changes - technical, institutional, and useful - of the US Navy from its times as a tiny frigate navy through the age of steam and metal to the modern era of electronics and missiles. Historian Craig L. Symonds captures the evolving culture of the Navy and debates between policymakers about what role the institution should play in world affairs. Internal and exterior challenges dramatically altered the scale and persona of the Navy, with long times of calm inertia alternating with swift expansion emerging out of crises. The history of the navy shows the history of the country all together, and its many changes derive in large part from the changing role of the United States itself.
