A TALE OF TWO NAVIES -GEOPOLITICS, TECHNOLOGY, AND STRATEGY IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY AND ROYAL NAVY 1960-2015

摘要

Wells served in both British Intelligence and the Royal Navy as a British citizen and then later in U. S. Intelligence and the United States Navy as an American citizen. In this book, Wells writes of the US-UK Special Relationship forged during World War II and follows the unique and enduring relationship our two navies have enjoyed through the course of the Cold War to current day. The book is not a formal history and strict chronology of the period but rather a presentation and analysis of key events during that period, along with the interactions of the two navies. The themes of each of its chapters are based on criteria that reflect on what drives change at all levels; from the high-level institutional and organizational aspects of political-military decision making down to the effects of significant technical changes that in due course impact policy making and operations.
