In contrast to historians who have cast the early Cold War US Navy as overly nationalistic and uninterested in cooperation with allies, Corbin Williamson shows that American officers and officials worked to maintain wartime levels of interoperability with the British, Canadian, and Australian navies. Concerned about the growing threat posed by the Soviet Union, these four navies built a web of informal links and connections: personnel exchanges, standardization efforts in equipment and doctrine, combined training and education, and planning for a war with the Soviets. Political concerns, especially in the United States, kept these navy-to-navy links out of the public sphere. Using a "history from the middle" approach, Williamson focuses on the actions of mid-level officials and officers who managed and maintained these informal alliances on a day-to-day basis, drawing upon official and private papers from archives in all four nations, including large numbers of recently declassified documents."-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b Navy $x History $y 20th century. 610 17 $a United States. $b Navy $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533204 651 0 $a United States $x History, Naval $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Military relations $z Canada. 651 0 $a United States $x Military relations $z Great Britain. 651 0 $a United States $x Military relations $z Australia. 651 0 $a Canada $x Military relations $z United States. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Military relations $z United States. 651 0 $a Australia $x Military relations $z United States. 650 7 $a Military relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353799 651 7 $a Australia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204543 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Naval history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411632 830 0 $a Modern war studies 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103023006.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=934079361DA411EBAAA0CA112BECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
