Description
Understanding Naval Warfare by Ian Speller provides an accessible introduction to modern naval warfare, covering key concepts and debates within its historical context. This updated edition explores traditional ideas and current developments in naval theory and practice, relating them to recent events such as Sino-American naval competition and the Russian-Ukraine War. The book cuts through complex terminology and esoteric concepts, offering a clear guide to the features of naval warfare that will equip readers with the necessary knowledge for engaging with the subject. It is divided into two parts: one focusing on concepts of naval warfare, and another on the conduct of war at sea and peacetime roles. By examining recent events and emerging ideas, Understanding Naval Warfare offers a comprehensive understanding of modern naval operations, including hybrid warfare, grey zone operations, joint warfare, multi-domain operations, and integrated deterrence within the context of great power rivalry.
