Description: "This book provides a contemporary perspective on one of the most famous and successful war-fighting institutions in the world: the Royal Navy. In doing so, it offers an insight into the relationship between institutional culture and modern warfare, with specific reference to the Falklands War of 1982 and the Gulf War of 1991. In essence, it is a comparative study of the two largest operations since the abortive Suez crisis in 1956."--Jacket.
