Abstract
ABSTRACT The Second World War was the first conflict fought in three dimensions, across the full spectrum of violence. Yet compared to the land and the air, the sea has surely received the least attention. It has been the subject of fewer books and articles, fewer films and television series and fewer monuments and commemorations than either of the other dimensions. Both historiography and remembrance are terrestrial in orientation. The books reviewed here each contribute to correcting the army-dominated and terrestrial, if not necessarily the Eurocentric view of the Second World War.
期刊介绍：
The defining feature of The Journal of Strategic Studies is its commitment to multi-disciplinary approach. The editors welcome articles that challenge our historical understanding of man"s efforts to achieve political ends through the application of military and diplomatic means; articles on contemporary security and theoretical controversies of enduring value; and of course articles that explicitly combine the historical and theoretical approaches to the study of modern warfare, defence policy and modern strategy. In addition to a well-established review section, The Journal of Strategic Studies offers its diverse readership a wide range of "special issues" and "special sections".
