Separate chapters provide an overview of the origins, course, and accomplishments of the cruise, describe the ships that circumnavigated the globe, depict the character and experiences of the sailors who participated, narrate the cruise's principal events and itinerary, and analyze the Great White Fleet's significance organizationally for the United States Navy and diplomatically for the United States of America.
