Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book of speeches, addresses, and other writings by Robert Means Thompson, an assistant secretary of the U.S. Navy during the presidencies of McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, offers insights into the evolution of naval thought in the late 19th and early 20th century. As a collection of Thompson's most important works, this book traces the development of the U.S. Navy from a wooden-hulled, sail-powered fleet to a steel-hulled, steam-powered force that reflected the technological advancements of the time. Through Thompson's words, we learn of the Navy's role in the Spanish-American War and the beginning of the transition to a 'new navy' capable of projecting power worldwide. Alongside a discussion of the strategic importance of the Navy, Thompson explores the changing nature of the naval officer and the need for higher education to meet the demands of modern warfare. A man of strong patriotic sentiment, Thompson was a vocal advocate for a powerful U.S. Navy, believing it to be the best guarantor of peace and the protector of American interests abroad. This book, then, is a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of the U.S. Navy and its role in American foreign policy during a critical period of its development.
