Mahan on Naval Strategy Summary

Mahan on Naval Strategy: Selections from the Writings of Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan by Alfred Thayer Mahan

This book makes a valuable and original contribution to the study of strategic thinking of one of the greatest naval theoreticians of all time. Rather than taking one of Mahan's many works and reprinting it, this volume offers a unique collection of articles and chapters from many books by Mahan, selected to capture the whole range of his thinking.

With these key selections, readers have a single, convenient reference to help them toward a full understanding of Mahan's logic and thinking.

About Alfred Thayer Mahan

Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914) was an American naval officer and esteemed naval theorist who served a historic role in defining the U.S. Navy as a significant geopolitical force during the end of the nineteenth century. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1859, served in the Civil War, and was promoted the rank of rear admiral in 1906. Professor John B. Hattendorf has served as the Ernest J.
