Summary note
"A Tale of Two Navies is an analysis of the unique relationship between the United States Navy and the Royal Navy from 1960 to present. This loosely chronological study examines the histories, strategies, operations, technology, and intelligence activities of both navies. Bringing his extensive experience in both navies to bear, Anthony Wells provides a revealing look at the importance of naval thinking and how it impacts not only every level of naval activity, but also national defense as a whole."--Provided by publisher.
