Description: |
includes photos and maps; inscribed by a Coast Guard cadet to his father or brother; "this book is the only comprehensive and definitive history of the Coast Guard ever published... the author brings broad scholarship and meticulous research to his task of projecting the Coast Guard against the background of economic, political, and technological factors which have produced it. And by analyzing the curve of the Coast Guard's development as a federal agency with many diverse but nonetheless related functions, he defines this complex Service in a simple formula and fixes its functional position in the federal government." |
