Description
A concise history of amphibious landings from World War I to the present day.
World War Two’s Allied landings take a large proportion of the book, but the work goes beyond that, looking at both before and after the 1940s.
This splendid, handy, pocket sized book […] provides ean excellent brief introduction to an important but much neglected aspect of naval warfare. Well recommended.
Oscar E. Gilbert was a U.S. Marine Corps artilleryman and instructor, and retired after a thirty-eight year career in government service, university teaching, and international petroleum exploration. He is the author of numerous books on military history.
