This illustrated reference provides year-to-year summaries of events in the history of the US Navy and Marine Corps from the American Revolution onwards. Supported by some 200 b&w photos and illustrations and four indexes, the reference explains the consequences of major events and provides a series of entries to show stages of development and give a sense of continuity.
This third edition adds information on the decade from the Gulf War to the turn of the century. The thumbnail sketches lack a direct reference to the small bibliography. Sweetman is retired from the US Naval Academy and is author or coauthor of numerous books on naval history.
