Abstract "Victory Without Peace concentrates on the U.S. Navy in European and Near Eastern waters during the post-World War I era. The Navy was charged with executing the naval terms of the Armistice as well as preserving stability and peace. U.S. warships were deploying into the Near East, Baltic, Adriatic, and Northern Europe. Conversely, Congressional appropriations handicapped this deployment by demobilization, general naval policy and postwar personnel and operating funds reductions"-- Provided by publisher.
