About This Item
Hardcover edition, published by Naval Institute Press, 1995. A first edition, second printing copy. No dust jacket, though I believe this edition was not issued with a jacket. Written while he was Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, an in-depth analysis of the role of the U.S. Navy that argues for a revision of both the overall mission and design of ships and aircraft necessary for the future. 184 pages with Index and Notes. Sturdy dark blue cloth covered boards with the author name and title imprinted n blue-green on the spine and front board. Boards are flat, and the corners are not bumped or creased. No edge wear to the boards. Edges of the text block are relatively clean, with just one small dot of age tanning on the fore edge. Sewn binding is tight and square. This is not a remainder, not a library discard. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. Attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.
