A very detailed account of the developments which have resulted in the present high level of interdependence of space and maritime power. The book starts with a practical account of satellites and how they are launched and positioned, then considers the importance of precise navigation, and goes on to show how these have led to ship launched cruise missiles, the need to defend ships against such attacks, the role of GPS, and the increasing importance of the naval role in littoral warfare. Draws mainly on American, Russian, and British experiences.
