Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840 1914) was an American naval officer,
considered one of the most important naval strategists of the
nineteenth century. In 1885 he was appointed Lecturer in Naval
History and Tactics at the US Naval War College, and served as
President of the institution between 1886 and 1889. His series of
books examining the role of sea power in history influenced the
rapid growth of international navies in the period before World War
I. This two-volume study of the Anglo-American war of 1812 was
first published in 1905. Mahan examines the causes of the conflict,
arguing that its roots went back to the seventeenth century.
Although naval battles in the war of 1812 were small-scale rather
than large fleet actions, Mahan shows that they were nevertheless
crucial to the outcome. Volume 1 covers the background to the war -
commercial relations, and Britain's war with France.
