This comprehensive encyclopedia shares current understandings of the struggle to control the seas during that conflict—and it opens our eyes to the reasons sea power continues to be of critical importance today. Scholarly treatment of World War II is constantly changing as new materials inform new interpretations. At the same time, current military operations lead to reevaluation of the tactics and technologies of the past.

Space and time: essays on visions of history in …, 2010

From the Foreword by Colonel Walter J. Boyne, USAF (Ret.) "Written in a brisk, accessible style, this encyclopedia provides a collective description of the principle weapons systems of the United States at the most definitive juncture of American defense policy . . . "The authors have provided listings for all U.S. weapons anywhere in the world, encompassing systems as old as the Douglas C-47 'Gooney Bird' and as new as its twenty-first-century successor, the McDonnell Douglas C-17 Globemaster III. Each individual listing provides information on the weapons system, its evolution, development, variants, combat experience and specifications. The coverage of ships is particularly valuable, for it includes a listing of every ship within its class, by hull number, ship's name, builder, and with key dates. Similarly, exhaustive detail is provided for armored fighting vehicles, missiles, and other weapons. "Tim Laur and Steve Llanso are experts in the field and their book is an important contribution to military literature, providing as it does an instant reference to the weapons systems of all the services of the United States."
