 THE DEVELOPMENT OF BRITISH AMPHIBIOUS OPERATIONS 1882-1914

THE DEVELOPMENT OF BRITISH AMPHIBIOUS OPERATIONS 1882-1914

This study looks at what was thought, what was taught, what was expected, and what occurred in the 30 years before Britain found herself facing a scale of conflict not witnessed in a century. Analyzes the thought and the purpose giving rise to these ventures, paying special attention to the Russo-Japanese War. What is now styled joint amphibious operations were difficult because they were never of a single type. Naval support to a military force standing on the defensive, raids, feints, blocking operations, riverine operations, and an opposed landing, spoke to a series of joint operations of ever-increasing complexity. Meanwhile, as every operation must at some point end, even the manner of evacuation came to be viewed as a special type of combined operation to be understood and learned. Contains 15 mono illustrations. $45.00 USD

Recounts Larry Hilton's experiences as a Marine artilleryman in Vietnam.
