This short biography of the Civil War admiral – and hero of Mobile Bay – was published in 1892. Written by one of America’s greatest naval historians, himself a Civil War veteran, this work is a must read for anyone interested in Farragut himself or in the development of Mahan’s influential and pugnacious ideas about sea power.
About the author
Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914) was a historian and U.S. naval officer. A veteran of the Civil War, Mahan championed the idea that sea power—military and commercial—determines the fate of nations: an idea that remains potent today. He is best known for The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1660-1783 (1890).
