THE INFLUENCE OF SEA POWER UPON HISTORY.

Extracts from Reviews.

Captain Mahan, whose name is famous all the world over as that of the author of “The Influence of Sea Power upon History,” a work, or rather a series of works, which may fairly be said to have codified the laws of naval strategy—­The Westminster Gazette.

An instructive work of the highest value and interest to students and to the reading public, and should find its way into all the libraries and homes of the land.—­Magazine of American History.

Captain Mahan has been recognized by all competent judges not merely as the most distinguished living writer on naval strategy, but as the originator and first exponent of what may be called the philosophy of naval history.—­London Times.

The greatest of living writers on naval subjects....  Captain Mahan is the author of books which mark a new era in historical literature.  They are to sailors of every navy in the world what Napier’s “History of the Peninsular War” was to British soldiers, and something more.  Captain Mahan is a born historian.—­London Daily News.
