The third book shifts attention away from an exclusively Western Front view of the First World War and back to the conflict at sea around the world. Norman Friedman's account connects strategy with technology instead of treating either in isolation. Aircraft and submarines make the maritime battlespace three-dimensional. Their emergence begins a revolution in strategy, operations, tactics, and technology both at sea and from the sea.
