Reviews
"James D. Hornfischer, the dean of American naval historians, has written a book of dizzying sweep and uncommon ambition. In this meticulously researched work, we see just how resolute and resourceful the United States Navy was in facing the hydra-headed threats of the Cold War." --Hampton Sides, author of Ghost Soldiers " Who Can Hold the Sea is the final masterpiece of the late, great, James D. Hornfischer, the finest naval historian of his time. A lucid, brilliant and very timely history of the U.S. Navy in the Cold War, this is the capstone to a truly heroic and dazzling career." --Alex Kershaw, author of The Liberator "This is a superb valedictory offering by one of the great storytellers of our time. In vivid and evocative prose, James D. Hornfischer offers a fully contextualized narrative of a defining era in world history. His sketches of the leading players bring them fully to life, and his coverage of the war in Korea is edge-of-your-seat gripping." --Craig L. Symonds, author of World War II at Sea "In his final volume, James D. Hornfischer brilliantly re-creates the panoramic story of the U.S. Navy in the first fourteen years after the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay. In his master hands, the whole range of novel military and political events, the epochal technological breakthroughs of nuclear power and ballistic missiles, and a long roster of important other stories fall in smoothly." --Richard B. Frank, author of Tower of Skulls " Who Can Hold the Sea is a perfect follow-on to James D. Hornfischer's four superb standard-setting books on the U.S. Navy in the Pacific during World War II. Wellresearched, superbly written, and insightful . . . The United States' history is that of a maritime nation, and Hornfischer's legacy is to have superbly told that story from the deckplate." --General Mike Hagee, USMC (Ret), CEO Admiral Nimitz Foundation, "James Hornfischer, the dean of American naval historians, has written a book of dizzying sweep and uncommon ambition. In this meticulously researched work, we see just how resolute and resourceful the United States Navy was in facing the hydra-headed threats of the Cold War--a global conflict that was always on the brink of becoming truly, terrifyingly hot." --Hampton Sides, bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers and In the Kingdom of Ice " Who Can Hold the Sea is the final masterpiece of the great, late Jim Hornfischer, the finest naval historian of his time. A lucid, brilliant, and very timely history of the US Navy in the Cold War, this is the capstone to a truly heroic and dazzling career." --Alex Kershaw, New York Times bestselling author of The Liberator and The First Wave "This is a superb valedictory offering by one of the great storytellers of our time. In a compelling narrative, one of the leading chroniclers of naval warfare in the Second World War carries the story of the U.S. Navy into the Cold War years. In vivid and evocative prose, James D. Hornfischer offers a fully contextualized narrative of a defining era in world history. His sketches of the leading players bring them fully to life, and his coverage of the war in Korea is edge-of-the-seat gripping." --Craig L. Symonds, author of World War II at Sea "In his final volume, James Hornfischer brilliantly re-creates the panoramic story of the US Navy in the first fourteen years after the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay. In his master hands, the whole range of novel military and political events, the epochal technological breakthroughs of nuclear power and ballistic missiles, and a long roster of important other stories fall in smoothly and then double time past the reader. Above all, the signature feature is his trademark finely drawn characters who breathe life into the most complex and contentious issues." --Richard B. Frank, author of Tower of Skulls and Guadalcanal

Synopsis
A close-up, action-filled narrative about the crucial role the U.S. Navy played in the early years of the Cold War, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Fleet at Flood Tide "James D. Hornfischer, the dean of American naval historians, has written a book of dizzying sweep and uncommon ambition."--Hampton Sides, author of Ghost Soldiers This landmark account of the U.S. Navy in the Cold War, Who Can Hold the Sea combines narrative history with scenes of stirring adventure on--and under--the high seas. In 1945, at the end of World War II, the victorious Navy sends its sailors home and decommissions most of its warships. But this peaceful interlude is short-lived, as Stalin, America's former ally, makes aggressive moves in Europe and the Far East. Winston Churchill crystallizes the growing Communist threat by declaring the existence of "the Iron Curtain," and the Truman Doctrine is set up to contain Communism by establishing U.S. military bases throughout the world. Set against this background of increasing Cold War hostility, Who Can Hold the Sea paints the dramatic rise of the Navy's crucial postwar role in a series of exciting episodes that include the controversial tests of the A-bombs that were dropped on warships at Bikini Island; the invention of sonar and the developing science of undersea warfare; the Navy's leading part in key battles of the Korean War; the dramatic sinking of the submarine USS Cochino in the Norwegian Sea; the invention of the nuclear submarine and the dangerous, first-ever cruise of the USS Nautilus under the North Pole; and the growth of the modern Navy with technological breakthroughs such as massive aircraft carriers, and cruisers fitted with surface-to-air missiles. As in all of Hornfischer's works, the events unfold in riveting detail. The story of the Cold War at sea is ultimately the story of America's victorious contest to protect the free world., A close-up, action-filled narrative about the crucial role the U.S. Navy played in the early years of the Cold War, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Fleet at Flood Tide "A lucid, fast-moving and fitting finale to [Hornfischer's] career."-- The Wall Street Journal This landmark account of the U.S. Navy in the Cold War, Who Can Hold the Sea combines narrative history with scenes of stirring adventure on--and under--the high seas.
