It recounts the struggles between "thrusting" and "cautionary" schools of strategy, the roles of outspoken leaders such as Dewey, Mahan, King, and MacArthur, and the adaptation of aviation and other technologies to the plan. The book shows that the strategy of Plan Orange was the basis of prewar U.S. naval development in training, ship and aircraft design, and amphibious and tactical thought. <P><I>War Plan Orange</I> is the recipient of numerous book awards, including the prestigious Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt Naval History Prize.</P> 391315 30 3 2007 War Plan Orange: The U.S. Strategy to Defeat Japan, 1897-1945 total:2|5:0|4:2|3:0|2:0|1:0| 2 8 4 1 4 0 false false Thu Oct 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 08:12:32 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 07:45:49 -0700 2009
