Sea Soldiers in the Cold War_Front cover

Written by two noted Marine Corps historians (and former Marines), this is an operational study of the post-war period, heavily slanted to American experience. It provides scattered comment on Soviet practice and includes good chapters on the Falklands campaign and the evolution of US maritime doctrine in the 1980s.
