520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
Summary, etc. | Mahan's work well deserves its reputation as a classic. Hs bias towards sea power is evident and cogently explains how sea power is underestimated as a critical "tip the balance" force in the wars of the Baroque and Enlightenment era. This book is also a vivid depiction of strategic thinking in the late 19th century, with its emphasis on markets, coaling stations, lines of communication and so forth. The only sections that clearly are of purely historical interests are those where he dwells on tactical ship handling in the age of sail. |
