This book demystified the aircraft carrier for me. I still love it when, in a thriller movie, POTUS frowns and asks the national security advisor, “Where are our aircraft carriers at the moment?” But Walter Lord persuaded me that our biggest warships are simply moveable airfields. 

From Constantine's list on epic naval battles of the 20th century.
