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 book, first published in 1883 and reissued here in its 1898
London edition, examines the role of the navy in the American Civil
War of 1861 1865. It covers actions in the Gulf of Mexico and along
the length of the Mississippi, where the Union's blockade starved
the Confederate army of vital resources. Mahan himself had served
on the Union side, and interviewed veterans in order to supplement
the official naval records.
