Between 1890 and 1913, Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan published a
series of books on naval warfare in the age of sail, which won a
wide readership in his own day and established his reputation as
the founder of modern strategic history. But Mahan's two principal
arguments have been gravely misunderstood ever since, according to
Jon Tetsuro Sumida. Instead of representing Mahan as an advocate of
national naval supremacy, Sumida shows him asserting that only a
multinational naval consortium could defend international trade.
Instead of presenting Mahan as a man who adhered to strategic
principles, Sumida shows that he stressed the importance of an
officer's judgment and character formed by the study of
history.
"Inventing Grand Strategy and Teaching Command" includes a
subject index to all Mahan's published books and an extensive
bibliography. This is a book for scholars and students of military
and strategic thinking and is a natural for libraries of U.S.
service academies and U.S. armed services agencies and
organizations.
