Renowned historian and naval officer Alfred Mahan provides a profound analysis of significant events during the Maritime Age from 1660 to 1783. He draws upon the most successful naval strategies of the past—from Ancient Greece and Rome to Napoleonic France—as his theoretical foundation. Mahan focuses on the tactically significant qualities of each type of vessel (galleys, fire ships, torpedo boats), ship concentration points, and their battle formations. He also lists shortcomings in defense and naval command. The book cites rare documents and maps. This classic work exerted a profound influence on the statesmen of many world powers.
