Toward a New Maritime Strategy by Peter Haynes

Toward a New Maritime Strategy by Peter Haynes

Examines the evolution of American naval thinking in the post-Cold War era. It recounts the development of the US Navy's key strategic documents from the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to 2007. It critically analyses the US Navy's way of thinking and ideas, and recounts how they interacted with those that govern US strategy to shape the course of US naval strategy in the post-Cold War era.

“Books which discuss and analyse contemporary maritime strategy are few and far between, vying for an even smaller share of what is already a relatively limited marketWhen one does come along it tends to be worth reviewing because the publisher has taken a chance; they have considered it likely to be either commercially appealing or so important in its content and message that they feel duty bound to share it with the world. Or both. And when that happens readers should take note. If you buy just one contemporary naval book this year, make it Peter Haynes’ Toward a New Maritime Strategy. It is that good.”
—The Naval Review

'Haynes has provided an accurate chart of the shoals encountered by navy leadership as it navigated a course from a post-war, victorious, forward-deployed navy to a much smaller, leaner navy trying to come to grips with early twenty-first-century threats.'
—The Mariner’s Mirror

"[H]ugely interesting to read, how the Navy has fought to argue for it continued relevance both during the Cold War and subsequently [...] The book is based on extensive reading of strategy documents at various stages of the process, and is excellent to show the development in strategic thinking in the U.S. Navy since 1945." — Kongressen.com
