A Selected and Annotated Bibliography of American Naval History

by Paolo E. Coletta

This work seeks to update the original edition published by the Naval Institute Press in 1981, by providing new titles in military literature that have appeared since the end of 1979. It differs most from the original edition by providing twenty-three special topics, ranging from Amphibious Operations to women in the Navy, as well as titles in chapters that proceed in chronological order. This edition will greatly reduce titles on Marine Corps History but includes what are considered classic accounts about the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard. As in the first edition, titles are listed under books, documents, dissertations or theses, articles in periodicals or essays in books, transcripts of oral interviews, fiction, and still or moving film. Provides a listing of the secretaries of the Navy and Chiefs of Naval Operations to date, and both an author and subject index.
