Table of ContentsReviewsOceanographers and the Cold War is of tremendous value, as it challenges readers, and other historians, to take into account not just the national background of various marine scientific enterprises, but international issues and the overarching political themes of an era, which affect how science is done. History of Philosophical and Life Sciences [This] book is the first to provide a deeply researched, historically sound, insightful and provocative view of how military goals, scientific motivations and global political forces interacted in the growth of oceanography between the end of World War II and the 1970s. The Journal of Military History Oceanographers and the Cold War knits together scholarship in the history of science, diplomatic history, naval/military history, and political history, and will appeal to several audiences, including anyone interested in Cold War history. Indeed, as Hamblin points out, many people don't realize that Sputnik--that Cold War icon--emerged from the context of international marine science. Helen M.
