In this book Admiral Gorshkov reveals what had always been his goals for the Soviet Navy even while his government's naval policy went through radically different shapes. There is, of course, the usual Soviet boilerplate [claptrap] but the book is a wonderful piece of history.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 1, 2011Verified Purchase
The Soviet Navy has long been over shadowed by the Soviet Army, and missile divisions. The Sea Power of the State is an authoritative history of the navy as an institution and how it has adapted to meet the demands placed upon it by the international situation. It explains in detail how the characteristics of a state define the characteristics of its Navy and why a State should put the welfare of its Naval assets at the forefront of its thinking.
Well worth a read for scholars of Naval history and theory.
