While many students of military affairs have assumed that large-scale forcible entry amphibious operations are a thing of the past, the authors have done an outstanding job, in just eight concise and well-written chapters, to demonstrate how amphibious warfare, in combination with other joint operations, can prove decisive on modern-day battlefields. Covering a little-known combat operation that incredibly involved two neighboring North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies--Greece and Turkey--the 1974 battle known in Turkey as Operation Star Drop-4 and erroneously in the West as Operation Attila, took place on the perpetually restive island nation of Cyprus. Moreover, the authors have finally brought to light what is "arguably only one of two such [amphibious] operations" fought since 1945 that involved a substantially opposed landing. The operation also included the heavy use of airborne, airmobile, naval surface, and other follow-on armored forces that proved decisive toward relative Turkish success on Cyprus in 1974"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aLanding operations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00991711 606 $aAmphibious warfare$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00807951 606 $aOperations de debarquement$xHistoire$y20e siecle 606 $aOperations amphibies$xHistoire$y20e siecle 606 $aLanding operations$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAmphibious warfare$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aTurkey$2fast 607 $aCyprus$2fast 607 $aChypre$xHistoire 607 $aChypre$xHistoire$y1974 (Invasion turque) 607 $aCyprus$xHistory 607 $aTurkey$xHistory, Military$y20th century 607 $aCyprus$xHistory$yTurkish Invasion, 1974 608 $aMilitary history. 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aLanding operations. 615 7$aAmphibious warfare. 615 6$aOperations de debarquement$xHistoire 615 6$aOperations amphibies$xHistoire 615 0$aLanding operations$xHistory 615 0$aAmphibious warfare$xHistory 676 $a956.9304 700 $aErickson$b Edward J.$f1950-$0693413 702 $aUyar$b Mesut 712 02$aMarine Corps University (U.S.).$bPress, 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910473538203321 996 $aPhase Line Attila$92985094 997 $aUNINA
