"""Indeed, the evidence Symonds culls and so eloquently presents persuades the reader that the development of the U.S. Navy was a primary factor ensuring the rise of American world influence in the twentieth century . . . The author masterfully addresses his topic and aptly fulfills the goal of the series. Readers will not be disappointed."" -- Gina G. Palmer, The Northern Mariner"

A short introduction this may be, but it still is delightfully swift yet thorough guide through 200 year of US naval history. * Military History Monthly *
