Digesting History: The U.S. Naval War College, the Lessons of World War II, and Future Naval Warfare, 1945-1947, by Professor Hal M. Friedman, studies the contribution of the Naval War College, especially in the presidency of Admiral Raymond Spruance, to strategic thought during the first critical postwar years--that is, between the end of the war and the formulation of Containment. This transition period is especially valuable as a window through which to explore institutions such as the College in transition from a hot war to a cold one. While seminal studies exist of the College's work in the interwar years, none have been published on this period. General reader with interest in US naval history; specialist readers with interest in 20th-century US naval history and university students pursuing coursework in miliatary science may be interested in this work.
