Rezensionen

'Stapleton has assembled a talented set of authors to produce a trail-blazing book on the African navies. In this original work, we begin to understand the creation and uses of the navies, their contributions over time, and their interactions with other navies, such as those of India and the Soviet Union. Full of policy recommendations, it will be read in naval and military academies, with ideas passed down to policymakers on reforms and transformations.'
