Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Power in the Next War This series of volumes, in which different aspects are treated as far as possible in relation to each other, may help to form such a background. Sea Power in the Next War is treated by Com mander Russell Grenfell who was recently on the teaching staﬂ of the Royal Naval College, Green wich. It was only last year that he published his first book, The Art of the Admiral, but it placed him immediately in the front rank of naval writers. The attention it attracted, both from the public and the experts, was the more remarkable because it was in no way sensational, making its impression simply by the clarity of the reasoning, and the Iucidity of the writing. His present study of the wider problems of sea power has the same qualities. The balanced treatment of the subject as a whole gives, however, the more emphasis to his discussion of the risks that are being courted by the large ship policy, and to his proposals for the development of a destroyer fleet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story of Sea Power This volume has been called into being by the absence of any brief work covering the evolution and inﬂuence Of sea power from the beginnings to the present time. In a survey at once so comprehensive and so short, only the high points of naval history can be touched. Yet it is the hope of the authors that they have not, for that reason, slighted the sig nificance of the story. Naval history is more than a sequence Of battles. Sea power has always been a vital force in the rise and fall of nations and in the evolution Of civilization. It is this significance, this larger, related point of view, which the authors have tried to make clear in recounting the story of the sea. In regard to naval principles, also, this general survey should reveal those unchanging truths of warfare which have been demonstrated from Salamis to Jutland. The tendency Of our modern era of mechanical development has been to forget the value Of history. It is true that the. 16 gun is a great advance over the 32-pounder Of Trafalgar, but it is equally true that the naval officer of to-day must' still sit at the feet Of Nelson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Power by T 124 Nor were such sentiments by any means confined to Britain. In most of the maritime countries of the world, Mahan's interpretations of naval history excited lively interest and discussion, and called into being a body of supporters. But there was one European country in particular where the Mahan thesis was studied with specially close attention. To the military leaders Of Germany, the lessons pointed by Mahan seemed pregnant with meaning; and to no one more than their supreme head. The young Kaiser Wilhelm II was enthralled by the brilliant seascape that Mahan had painted. 'i am just now', he wrote, 'not reading but devouring Captain Mahan's book; and am trying to learn it by heart It is on board all my Ships and constantly quoted by my captains and officers.' He was already possessed of the world's most powerful army. But at sea Germany was weak; had always been weak. Compared to that of either Britain or France, the German fleet was insignificant. Neither Bismarck nor his predecessors had seen the need for naval strength. German land forces alone had sufficed to crush the Danes, the Austrians and the French in succession. But now that the unification of the German states into a German Empire was an accomplished fact. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Sea-Power This work has been inspired by the following passage, which appears in the preface of that great work The Inﬂuence of sea-power upon History Historians generally have been unfamiliar with the conditions of the sea, having as to it neither special interest nor special knowledge, and the profound determining inﬂuence of maritime strength upon great issues has consequently been overlooked. It is not with any presumptuous ambition of endeavour ing to meet the want for a history of sea-power, or any hope of being able to rectify the omission of the historians of the past so rightly deplored by Admiral Mahan in the passage quoted above, that this work has been undertaken, but rather it is an earnest endeavour to place before the public an outline of the growth of sea-power, the use that has been made of it in peace as well as in war, and the all-important part that it has taken in placing nations in the order and situation they occupy to-day. The definite object proposed in this work is an examina tion of the growth of sea-power from that of the Phoenicians to that of the maritime nations of the present day, placing in relief the part sea-power has taken in the delimitation of territory among the races of the world, the determining inﬂuence it has exercised in the rise of republics, kingdoms, and empires, an attempt to show, where such is possible, the disaster which inevitably follows the neglect of the general principles of sea-power.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Interest of America in Sea Power, Present and Future Whatever interest may be possessed by a collection of detached papers, issued at considerable intervals during a term of several years, and written without special reference one to the other, or, at the first, with any view to subsequent publication, depends as much upon the date at which they were composed, and the condition of affairs then existent, as it does upon essential unity of treatment. If such unity perchance be found in these, it will not be due to antecedent purpose, but to the fact that they embody the thought of an individual mind, consecutive in the line of its main conceptions, but adjusting itself continually to changing conditions, which the progress of events entails.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany's High Sea Fleet, in the World War The victor has the privilege of writing the story of the war; for one mistrusts the vanquished, because he will try to palliate and excuse his defeats. But we are victors and vanquished at one and the same time, and in depicting our success the difficult problem confronts us of not forgetting that our strength did not last out to the end. Exceptionally tragic is the fate of our Fleet. It embodied the sense of power resulting from the unification of the Empire, a sense which was conscious of its responsibility to provide for the suitable security of our immensely flourishing political and economical expansion. By creating a fleet we strengthened our claim to sea-power, without which the Empire must wither away, we remained a thorn in the side of the British, and their ill-will was the constant accompaniment of our growth. The freedom of the seas, which we strove for in line with our evolution, England was never willing to grant, even if it had to come to a world-war on the point. In the four years' struggle which Germany waged against the desire of its enemies to destroy it, the Fleet was able, beyond all foreign expectations, to hold its own, and what is more, it was our conduct of the naval war that succeeded in forcing the stubborn enemy to the brink of destruction. But, nevertheless, we have lost the war, and with the surrender of the German Fleet the expectations of an independent shaping of our destiny have vanished for long enough. To the history of the naval war, as it presented itself to me and was for some years carried on under my guidance, this book will add a contribution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eclipse of American Sea Power Mr. Wickham Steed, editor of the London Times, in a recent speech quoted in the Montreal Statesman stated the following: "The American delegates refused to give out any news during the Conference. They left this whole matter with the British publicity agent, Lord Riddell, and I am not giving away any state secrets when I say that when Lord Riddell left Washington there was general lamentation among the American and other correspondents, who wondered where they would proceed to get the real news. That may have been Quixotic on the part of the Americans, but rather than be under any suspicion of using their press to turn public opinion against nations with whom they may have had differences, they did this, and tie American delegates were absolutely and honourably silent."

Book excerpt: From one of the most admired admirals of his generation -- and the only admiral to serve as Supreme Allied Commander at NATO -- comes a remarkable voyage through all of the world’s most important bodies of water, providing the story of naval power as a driver of human history and a crucial element in our current geopolitical path. From the time of the Greeks and the Persians clashing in the Mediterranean, sea power has determined world power. To an extent that is often underappreciated, it still does. No one understands this better than Admiral Jim Stavridis. In Sea Power, Admiral Stavridis takes us with him on a tour of the world’s oceans from the admiral’s chair, showing us how the geography of the oceans has shaped the destiny of nations, and how naval power has in a real sense made the world we live in today, and will shape the world we live in tomorrow. Not least, Sea Power is marvelous naval history, giving us fresh insight into great naval engagements from the battles of Salamis and Lepanto through to Trafalgar, the Battle of the Atlantic, and submarine conflicts of the Cold War. It is also a keen-eyed reckoning with the likely sites of our next major naval conflicts, particularly the Arctic Ocean, Eastern Mediterranean, and the South China Sea. Finally, Sea Power steps back to take a holistic view of the plagues to our oceans that are best seen that way, from piracy to pollution. When most of us look at a globe, we focus on the shape of the of the seven continents. Admiral Stavridis sees the shapes of the seven seas. After reading Sea Power, you will too. Not since Alfred Thayer Mahan’s legendary The Influence of Sea Power upon History have we had such a powerful reckoning with this vital subject.
