Menon, Rear Admiral K. Raja

Inhaltsangabe

Rear Admiral Menon is the author of an important new work that every
serious student of the current fast evolving naval scene should read. John
Dory, Warships Magazine Asian Voice "Reading this thought-provoking book
(highly specialised as it is) - so far removed from the blood and gore and
horrendous physical (and psychological) pain of warfare - the reflection
came unbidden that, if laughter is supposed to be a typically human trait,
then warfare is surely an even more exclusive one." RUSI Journal Dec. 99 "
A well-researched book of considerable interest ... A good addition to all
libraries." Daily Telegraph, 3/4/98 "Brilliantly argued, this book explains
what speed and strategy can do ... Maritime Strategy is brilliantly argued
and backed by the author"s impressive historical perspective ... A must for
defence planners." Hindustan Times, 12/4/98 "Excellently researched ...
Menon"s fascinating foray on land and at sea is replete with history and
strategy of wars and the evolution of naval strategies." India Today, April
1998 "Though it is not the first to think through the frustrating problem
of how to use naval force in a war on land, the book"s importance lies in
that it actually provides some credible solutions." The Pioneer, 28/3/98
"Menon"s arguments are so rich ... that they at once constitute a new
treatise on maritime power for the 21st century and a "How to" manual for
navies struggling with the resource crunch and the desire to be relevant in
a new age." Indian Defence Review "Useful review of maritime strategy
literature and role of maritime forces in past continental wars dating from
the 1800"s" The American Neptune "Menon clearly and elegantly provides his
reader with an overview of theoretical literature and the historical
experience of naval strategy as it relates to continental warfare
