Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The 1920s and 30s were an especially turbulent period in Chinese history, and the US Navy was deployed there not as an instrument of war, but of diplomacy. This title offers a narrative by the author, an admiral's son who actually lived in China during his father's tour of duty with the Navy at this time.
MoreLong description:
William Braisted is one of the world's foremost authorities on the U.S. naval experience in the Pacific, especially China, and ""Diplomats in Blue"" is a monumental work that adds further luster to his remarkable career.The 1920s and 30s were an especially turbulent period in Chinese history, and the U.S. Navy was deployed there not as an instrument of war, but of diplomacy. Their task was to keep China intact, independent, and free of occupation. They faced warlords fighting throughout the country, growing nationalist sentiment, and, eventually, the rise of Chinese communists and heightened Japanese aggression. Their mission included protecting embassies, conducting river patrols, protecting American lives and property, and carrying out civil affairs with the Chinese government.In this narrative, Braisted - an admiral's son who actually lived in China during his father's tour of duty with the Navy at this time - is both historian and a witness with special insight.
Unique in both its comprehensive research and breadth and depth of coverage. This volume extends Braisted's analysis of naval affairs in the Pacific that he began in his two previous acclaimed works. Diplomats in Blue has a particularly timely quality because it conveys the complexity of working in and with a foreign culture in a 'peacekeeping' or 'maintenance of order' mission similar to current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. There are lessons here for policymakers. - James C. Bradford, Texas A&M University
