Summary:

"As enmity between China and Russia and the West deepens, and as the Chinese navy grows, the United States finds itself more and more in the situation it faced during the Cold War. Again, the United States depends on access to the world, and again a possible enemy is building a massive navy intended to cut off the U.S., which may well have to fight for the seas. It is helpful to look back to the closest analogous struggle, that against the Soviet navy. For the first time, this book brings together enough of the declassified record--and enough of what the Russians published during their brief period of openness--to tell the story of the great Cold War anti-submarine warfare struggle"-- Provided by publisher.
