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. In this highly
influential two-volume biography, first published in 1897, Mahan
focuses on Nelson's professional life and provides a detailed
historical and tactical analysis of his naval career based on
Nelson's personal correspondence. Through this analysis Mahan also
explains and explores his concept of 'sea power', a strategic
concept which was closely studied and subsequently adopted by early
twentieth-century military powers. His book provides both a
fascinating discussion of Nelson's achievements and an invaluable
analysis of the most influential developments in naval strategy
almost a century after Nelson's death. Volume 1 covers Nelson's
career up to 1799.
