The Navy as a Fighting Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While the table of contents suggest many interesting topics, I do not recomend this book. Admiral Bradly Fiske was a horrible writer. His writing style was extreamly wordy and easily sidetracked. He never seamed to get past his introduction or make his point.
Bradly Fiske was an interesting man. He was a strong promoter of a large US Navy and naval aviation. He wrote several books for the public on naval affaires. Alas, he just couldn't write.
If you want to know about naval tactics and strategy in the World War I era; get "Naval Warfare, An Introductory Study" by John Creswell, RN, c. 1942. I will also highly recomend "Fundamentals of Naval Service" by Yates Stirling, USN, c. 1917, for a good description of operating a navy and the ships.
