Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

An influential work on naval strategy, The Influence of Sea Power on History (1890) by Alfred Mahan, an American naval officer, had been instrumental in reshaping military tactics in navies all around the world. Its central idea was that a nation's success was determined by its 'sea power' - its ability to command the oceans with a large fleet. Frederick Thomas Jane (1865–1916), the founding editor of All the World's Fighting Ships and All the World's Airships (which continue to this day), here recounts historical battles to argue that other factors were as crucial, if not more, in determining military outcomes. In this daring and astute critique of Mahan's work, Jane proposes that 'fitness to win' played an essential role in securing victory. First published in 1906, this work is a thought-provoking contribution to the debate that influenced the naval arms race in the period before the First World War.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of Sea Power and its impact on history, challenging conventional understandings of its influence. The author delves into a series of historical conflicts, focusing on the battles fought in the ancient world during the age of the oar, and arguing that these conflicts provide valuable insight into the nature of naval warfare. Instead of focusing solely on the technical aspects of military strategy, the author examines the broader context of political motivations, cultural influences, and the role of individual leadership in determining the outcome of wars. The book contends that, while naval strength is a significant factor, it is not the sole determinant of victory. Instead, the author emphasizes the importance of what he calls "Fitness to Win," a concept that encompasses a nation's overall preparedness, adaptability, and capacity to make the right strategic choices. This book challenges conventional wisdom about Sea Power and offers a more nuanced perspective on its place in history, suggesting that the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and make strategic decisions that leverage all available resources ultimately dictates the course of warfare. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331313113_0
