520 _aAn operational history of amphibious warfare in the cold war. The United States navy and marine corps receive the lion's share coverage because their amphibious forces evloved earlier, attained credibility sooner, grew larger and deployed in more distant seas that their counterparts in other countries. The book examines amphibious doctrine organization, specialized ships and landing craft and more deployments as part of the naval prosecution of cold war political objectives. It describes repeated cycles of crises.
