Highly recommended for those who want to read comprehensive histories of this war that cemented America's role as world superpower and global policeman, that lasted through the end of the century and beyond. 5 Stars
Amazon Review

The book is obviously not a technical book, although its bibliography draws on the best texts on Vietnam. Nash's prose is pleasant and through the logistics and "escalation" of the American presence in the country one can actually fully appreciate the evolution of the conflict, its nature and the drama of the historical moment of the USA and its tensions in public opinion.

This book basically looks at the growth of the US Navy in the first half of the most devastating century there has been. It primarily follows the aircraft carrier fleet which when seen in quite a few of the photographs look spectacular. But this is really the look at the birth of a navy from the biggest superpower in the world, so we see from the start how they relied upon airships and bi-planes. This book ends in the period of the Second World War as the US are forced to take on Japan and their naval fleet. after the attack on Pearl Harbor that brought the US into the war. The pictures of these ships are always going to look amazing even just going by the sheer size of them. But the number of planes they held are staggering making for another brilliant book. As usual with these Images of Wat books, the pictures are excellent and the supporting text is first-class written by knowledgeable historians. As always a definite recommendation from me.
