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.

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. King Professor of Maritime History at the U.S. Naval War College since 1984 and director of the Naval War College Museum since 2003. A former naval officer with degrees from Kenyon, USA, Brown, USA, and Oxford, UK, he is the author or editor of more than 40 books and numerous articles in the field of maritime history and naval strategy.
