FIGHTINGHIPS OF WORLD WAR 3

1st edition hardback in dj, large format, 192 pages, illustrated throughout with colour and b&w photos.

Hard covers clean and unmarked, internally bright and tight, no previous owner marks. Dj shows light handling/shelf wear and is now in removable vinyl covering. Illustrates the re-emergence of navies and modern fighting ships as significant factors in maintaining the balance of world power.

Covers such topics as underwater warfare, surface combat and amphibious warfare, and emphasises how loss of sea control by the West could never be counter balanced by gains on land or in the air.

At the time of writing Anthony Preston was naval editor of Jane's Defence Weekly and was regarded as one of the world's leading authorities on modern navies, ships and war at sea.
