Naval Institute Press, 1995. Large illustrated cloth bound hardcover with dust jacket.

This book comes from the library of M.L. Buchanan III, who served undercover with his wife in the CIA for 28 years on assignments throughout the globe. Prior to the CIA, he served as a U.S. Marine.

Internationally respected naval analyst and historian Norman Friedman provides the first full account of how U.S. submarines have developed over nearly a century, from a minor adjunct of the surface fleet to a central element of modern naval power.

Good condition. Solid copy with clean pages & some shelf wear. Previous owner's library of blind stamp to the top corner of the front fly leaf. Small tear in dust jacket to the front near the spine repaired with clear tape.
