[209]-213) and index.BOOK COVER; TITLE; COPYRIGHT; CONTENTSThis book adopts an innovative new approach to examine the role of maritime power and the utility of navies. It uses a number of case studies based upon key Royal Navy operations in the twentieth century to draw out enduring principles about maritime power and to examine the strengths and limitations of maritime forces as instruments of national policy. Individual chapters focus on campaigns and operations from both World Wars and a series of post-1945 crises and conflicts from the Palestine Patrol in the 1940s to Royal Navy operations in support of British policy in the 1990s.Cass series--naval policy and history ;31.Sea-powerGreat BritainHistory20th centuryGreat BritainHistory, Naval20th centurySea-powerHistory359.009410904359/.00941/0904Speller Ian1969-1671370MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815412003321The Royal Navy and maritime power in the twentieth century4033890UNINA
