A close-up, action-filled account of 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 and The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors

“A lucid, fast-moving and fitting finale to [Hornfischer’s] career.”—The Wall Street Journal

A landmark chronicle 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.

worth the price !
Size: 5 Pack, Size: 5 Pack
Best toys for our livestock puppies since they have been getting into our outdoor things which isn’t their faults but i figure I would get these small squeaky animals toys and they are obsessed and love playing tug a war with them! They’re super soft, the quality is amazing cause these puppies are tough chew monsters, love the squeaky sound it makes and the patting are suitable as well! Definitely recommend this especially for the price and how fast shipping was !

Not very durable
Size: 5 Pack
They’re a great toy for the dog. However, if the dog is bigger, they are very easily destroyed.

Bought these multiple times!
Size: 5 Pack
These are among the few toys my dogs don’t rip apart in seconds! Eventually, Bailey (my oldest) does manage to rip out the squeaker, but it takes her way longer than any other toy I’ve ever bought. Both of my dachshunds absolutely love to squeak it. I have bought these a few times over the last few years and will definitely keep buying them!

Best Tennis Balls Ever
Color: Non-Squeaky - Pack of 12, Size: Medium
Admittedly, I haven't had these for very long, received on Jan 7 and today is Jan 19., 2021, only 12 days. But, we have a terrier mix who hasn't found a tennis ball she couldn't destroy given an hour or two. That is until now. Twelve Days later? She hasn't managed to destroy it at all. We have a puzzle cub that came with a ball inside it. It only took her a couple hours for the ball to rupture at the seam and another 10 minutes to completely destroy it beyond recognition. We put one of these balls in there and here we are over a week later. Not only has she not destroyed the ball but she hasn't been able to get this one out. She looks so silly trying to carry the ball inside the cube. It's hilarious. Anyway, I digress. I would totally recommend this toy for an yone who has a dog that lives to play fetch bit keeps destroying the balls. By the way, Update: Jan 31, 2021 and still going strong. No signs of damage.
