Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling argument for a robust national defense strategy in the late 19th century. Written from the perspective of an experienced naval officer, the text delves into the pressing need for heavy ordnance, specifically focusing on the vulnerability of American coastal cities. The author meticulously examines the technological advancements in weaponry, particularly the development of steel guns and their superiority over older cast-iron designs. He critiques the existing defense infrastructure and the lack of domestic manufacturing capabilities for such sophisticated weapons. The book also explores the strategic implications of relying on foreign powers for vital defense equipment, emphasizing the need for self-sufficiency. The author advocates for a multifaceted approach, proposing the establishment of government-run gun factories and encouraging partnerships with private industries to bolster national defense preparedness.
