Most of the operations have never previously been described in print. This book uses newspaper articles, ships' logs, and routine reports to narrate them in fine detail. It brings them together chronologically and sets them in the context of American diplomatic policy and defense strategy. The text is supported by extensive endnotes and numerous order of battle tables, mostly compiled by the author.
