Series 21st century foundations
Summary "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Sergei Georgiyevich Gorshkov led the Soviet Navy for almost three decades during the height of the Cold War. He was the architect of the Red Fleet, turning it from little more than a coastal defense force into the most powerful navy that the Soviet Union ever possessed. 21st Century Gorshkov is a collection of articles, many of which have not previously been published in English, and passages from Admiral Gorshkov's more famous books, each with an introduction linking the work to the challenges facing navies everywhere today. Strategists worldwide have much to learn from the Soviet legend behind the most rapid naval expansion program in peacetime history. Gorshkov's ideas on naval power remain relevant today."-- Provided by publisher
