such as theirs can learn using the Complex Adaptive Systems approach Hone adopted as his methodological/organizational adhesive. So, it is a practitioner’s ‘essential reading’. Historians of the USN will benefit from not only the depth of primary research that is brought to the field by the book, but also gain a greater insight into the people, actions and reasons for certain outcomes previously left largely unanalysed to the degree required for a deep understanding of why the USN did what it did during the World War II in the Pacific. As a contribution to the field of naval history, Hone’s study sets a standard that others interested in studying, analysing and understanding how such organizations learn, or fail to do so, must aspire to.

书评：美国加入第一次世界大战：英美外交的作用

像他们这样的人可以使用复杂的自适应系统方法来学习 Hone 作为他的方法/组织粘合剂。所以，它是从业者的“必读”。USN 的历史学家不仅将受益于本书为该领域带来的初级研究的深度，而且还将更深入地了解人、行动和某些结果的原因，这些结果以前在很大程度上未分析到所需的程度深刻理解为什么美国海军在太平洋地区做了它在二战期间所做的事情。作为对海军历史领域的贡献，Hone 的研究树立了一个标准，其他有兴趣研究、分析和理解此类组织如何学习或未能学习的人必须向往。
