American Naval Participation in the Great War

"American Naval Participation in the Great War" by Dudley W. Knox is a comprehensive examination of the United States Navy's role in World War I, with a particular focus on its operations in European waters. The book is a detailed account that offers insight into the strategic, operational, and logistical aspects of the U.S. Navy's involvement in the conflict. Knox, who was a naval officer and historian, offers a perspective that combines first-hand experience with scholarly research. His work not only documents the tactical and strategic aspects of the Navy's involvement but also delves into the broader implications of the U.S. naval participation on the outcome of the war and its influence on international naval power dynamics in the post-war period.
