This People's Navy: The Making of American Sea Power

Kenneth J. Hagan pulls the curtain back for American civilians as he shares a sweeping account of the country's naval experience.

Including the wooden Continental Navy to contemporary projections of the service's high-tech mission in the next century, The People's Navy shares the complete making and growth of America's sea power.

"...provides a clear, interesting, and through-provoking introduction to the history of the American sea power and should be read by all historians of the United States... This book will provide standard interpretation for a long time to come." - Reviews in American History
