Description

Gain a deep understanding of China's strategic ambitions with China's Rising Sea Power: The PLA Navy's Submarine Challenge. This book provides a look into the strategic abilities of Beijing as it shapes its naval presence for the twenty-first century. Author Peter Howarth uses classical naval strategic theory to examine the logic behind China's naval force structure. The text explores how Beijing is making tactical submarines the central part of its maritime strategy. By comparing China's current outlook to historical continental powers like Germany during the World Wars and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, the book offers a unique perspective on how submarine fleets can challenge dominant maritime powers for regional hegemony. This is an essential read for those interested in Asian security studies and the evolving landscape of global naval power.
