In this volume, the highly respected naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan attempts to arouse in his fellow Americans an awareness of their naval responsibilities, framing his argument not only in terms of national security but also touching on international commerce. Included are the chapters, “Hawaii and our Future Sea Power,” “Possibilities of an Anglo-American Reunion,” and “Strategic Features of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico,” among others.

About the Author

Alfred Thayer Mahan was born in West Point, New York, in 1840 and died in 1914, just before the fleets he had helped to create clashed in the First World War. He was educated at the U.S. Naval Academy, graduating second in his class in 1859, just in time to serve as an officer in the Union Navy during the Civil War that broke out two years later. In 1884, he became first a lecturer and then president of the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.
