First line
Before 1890 few Americans thought that the United States was a maritime nation dependent for its security and its prosperity on control of its sea approaches or that the country needed an offensive battleship fleet.
From the rear cover
"A fine book: meticulous, judicious, incisive. It is a book to which the conventional exaggerations--"must" reading, relevant, if you're only going to read one book on the subject, etc.--actually may be said to apply. . . . It is a study of the interactions of technology, bureaucracy, politics and culture, of how an institution adapts, or fails to adapt, to changing conditions. As such, the book belongs on a lot of desks at the Pentagon."--Washington Times
"Baer takes what could have been a dry topic--the political history of the modern U.S. Navy--and turns it into interesting reading."--Library Journal
