Summary

The Illustrated History from 1914 to the Present Day. Taking the unique approach of building up the different stages of an amphibious campaign chapter by chapter, Amphibious Warfare gives a complete picture of the men, commanders, strategy and tactics, ships, landing craft, tanks and aircraft, as well as the actual assaults. Starting with the initial planning and preparation, Malcolm English takes the reader through the initial landing stage, the beachhead consolidation and the successful securing of a target. Also included are viewpoints on the past and future of amphibious warfare.
