The author explains how and why the United States successfully created an entirely new kind of fleet to fight and win such battles as D-Day and the island landings in the Pacific during World War II. To an extent not previously documented, this book lays out the differing views and contributions of the Army, Navy, and Marines, as well as the British, and tells how they affected the development of prewar and wartime amphibious forces.
Current and future amphibious forces and tactics are explained together with their implications for ships and craft-from forty thousand-ton amphibious carriers to tracked amphibious vehicles.
