Whitehurst has been a professor of industrial management and served as a consultant on transportation readiness to the federal government. In this book " he outlines the complex issues facing America's troubled shipping industry in the 1980's.He believes the U.S. merchant marine can no longer be counted on to provide adequate support for the nation's security-unless vital policy changes are made. The book examines all aspects of the shipping industry and offers a comprehensive examination of the total environment in which the industry will be operating in future decades. A large portion of the book is devoted to government policies, industry problems and national security. It also includes chapters on ports and the intermodal transportation system to emphasize that the merchant marine is an integral part of the total national logistics system.
