Summary

Aircraft Carriers explores the sweeping history and revolutionary impact of these warships, which redefined naval warfare and international relations. The book examines how aircraft carriers transformed naval dominance by acting as floating airfields, projecting military power across the globe. One intriguing fact is how these carriers shifted from support roles to becoming the centerpiece of naval operations, influencing fleet composition and power projection strategies.

 
The book chronologically details the evolution of aircraft carriers, from early converted cruisers to nuclear-powered supercarriers, highlighting advancements in flight deck design and aircraft technology. It also analyzes their roles in major conflicts like World War II and the Cold War, illustrating how these mobile, sovereign territories project military, economic, and political influence far beyond a nation's shores. The text supports its arguments using primary source documentation, including naval archives and declassified military reports.

 
The book uses a narrative non-fiction approach, presenting technical details in an accessible style for a broad audience interested in military history, naval strategy, and international relations. While covering the global impact, it primarily focuses on the carriers of the US Navy, Royal Navy, and Imperial Japanese Navy, presenting a balanced assessment of their continued relevance in an era of new military technologies.

    A testament to the way of solitude and simplicity, the 21 precepts of the Dokkōdō, also known as The Way of Walking Alone, is one of Musashi's principal legacies. Inspired by his life of combat and the bushido code, Miyamoto Musashi wrote the Dokkōdō in Japan in 1645, to pass on his wisdom and philosophy of life before he died. In the short text, the master duelist shares 21 precepts for healthy living. They are influenced by principles akin to Stoicism. Even today, these universal lessons can be useful for leading an honest and happy life. 
Among the main themes he addresses in the Dokkōdō, Miyamoto Musashi stresses the importance of simplicity, discipline and detachment. He suggests forgetting material desires and distractions and concentrating on the essential. He advocates not only material simplicity, but also mental, spiritual simplicity; purity of thought. In his vision, mental clarity enables deeper self-mastery.

    ‘Napoo’, ‘compray’, ‘san fairy ann’, ‘toot sweet’ are anglicized French phrases that came into use on the Western Front during the First World War as British troops struggled to communicate in French. Over four years of war they created an extraordinary slang which reflects the period and brings the conflict to mind whenever it is heard today.  Julian Walker, in this original and meticulously researched book, explores the subject in fascinating detail. In the process he gives us an insight into the British soldiers’ experience in France during the war and the special language they invented in order to cope with their situation.  He shows how French place-names were anglicized as were words for food and drink, and he looks at what these slang terms tell us about the soldiers’ perception of France, their relationship with the French and their ideas of home. He traces the spread of ‘Tommy French’ back to the Home Front, where it was popularized in songs and on postcards, and looks at the French reaction to the anglicization of their language.
