Admiral Gorshkov: the man who challenged the U.S. Navy
This is a book about a man and his ability to change a culture and to create a powerful navy that was radically different than traditional navies. And he accomplished this despite strong opposition from the nation's Army-dominated power structure. The Russian Navy that is at sea in the 21st Century is to a significant degree based on the fleet that this man built. This Russian Navy that sent a nuclear-propelled battle cruiser into the Caribbean in 2008 supported the Soviet combat actions in Syria beginning in 2015 and fired missiles from surface ships and a submarine into \"rebel\" areas in Syria can trace its \"roots\" directly to Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Sergei G. Gorshkov.

Naval power and expeditionary warfare : peripheral campaigns and new theatres of naval warfare
This book examines the nature and character of naval expeditionary warfare, in particular in peripheral campaigns, and the contribution of such campaigns to the achievement of strategic victory. Naval powers, which can lack the massive ground forces to win in the main theatre, often choose a secondary theatre accessible to them by sea and difficult for their enemies to reach by land, giving the sea power and its expeditionary forces the advantage. The technical term for these theatres is 'peripheral operations.' The subject of peripheral campaigns in naval expeditionary warfare is central to the British, the US, and the Australian way of war in the past and in the future. All three are reluctant to engage large land forces because of the high human and economic costs. Instead, they rely as much as possible on sea and air power, and the latter is most often in the form of carrier-based aviation. In order to exert pressure on their enemies, they have often opened additional theaters in on-going, regional, and civil wars. This book contains thirteen case studies by some of the foremost naval historians from the United States, Great Britain, and Australia whose collected case studies examine the most important peripheral operations of the last two centuries. This book will be of much interest to students of naval warfare, military history, strategic studies and security studies.

Playing War
Between the First and Second World Wars, the U.S. Navy used the
experience it had gained in battle to prepare for future wars
through simulated conflicts, or war games, at the Naval War
College. In Playing War John M. Lillard analyzes
individual war games in detail, showing how players tested new
tactics and doctrines, experimented with advanced technology, and
transformed their approaches through these war games, learning
lessons that would prepare them to make critical decisions in the
years to come. Recent histories of the interwar period explore how
the U.S. Navy digested the impact of World War I and prepared
itself for World War II. However, most of these works overlook or
dismiss the transformational quality of the War College war games
and the central role they played in preparing the navy for war. To
address that gap, Playing War details how the interwar
navy projected itself into the future through simulated conflicts.
Playing War recasts the reputation of the interwar War
College as an agent of preparation and innovation and the war games
as the instruments of that agency.
