Courage, loyalty, and service to the state are among the virtues extolled here by Mahan, the father of modern sea power theory. This authoritative 1905 history is based on his lectures as president of the Naval War College. Volume Two takes the story from the winter of 1812/3 and Bainbridge’s Squadron to the peace negotiations which ended the war in February of 1815.

A propos de l’auteur
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).
