Besides examining the details of this strategy formulation the book explores the internal and external repercussions on the US Navy of the Pivot to Asia. It discusses the “Fat Leonard” scandal which involved bribery and corruption in contracts for the maintenance of the US fleets in the region and considers the sharp decrease in training and readiness of the Pacific fleet to support the pivot which in turn led to serious maritime collisions. It also assesses the impact of the pivot on other countries in the region engaging in the debate as to whether the pivot was necessary in order to convince the countries of the region that the United States had not lost its staying power or whether the pivot managed to make tensions in the Asia-Pacific worse even while allowing the strategic situation in the Middle East and Europe to worsen as a result of neglect. | The United States Navy’s Pivot to Asia The Origins of a Cooperative Strategy for Twenty-First Century Seapower
