    This book gathers together various lectures that Mahan delivered between 1887 and 1911 at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. In this comprehensive work, Mahan provides a detailed review of the principles of naval strategy and explores a multitude of historical examples to illustrate and support these principles. Naval Strategy remains a classic work on operational warfare at sea from the father of modern naval thought.

    Alfred Thayer Mahan

    Alfred Thayer Mahan (September 27, 1840 – December 1, 1914) was a United States naval officer and historian, whom John Keegan called "the most important American strategist of the nineteenth century." His book The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1660–1783 (1890) won immediate recognition, especially in Europe, and with its successor, The Influence of Sea Power Upon the French Revolution and Empire, 1793–1812 (1892), made him world-famous and perhaps the most influential American author of the nineteenth century.
