Focusing on naval strategy and historical analysis, Alfred Thayer Mahan explores the critical role of sea power in shaping global politics and conflicts from the seventeenth to the eighteenth centuries. Drawing from his extensive experience, Mahan argues that control of the oceans is a key indicator of national strength, influencing events like the English Revolution and the Seven Years' War. His work not only justified imperial expansion but also significantly impacted the naval arms race leading up to World War I, marking it as a pivotal text in military history.
