About this book
Alfred Thayer Mahan, the naval theorist whose ideas on sea power shaped fleets around the world, wrote this memoir late in his career, looking back on four decades in uniform. He entered the United States Navy in the 1850s as a midshipman aboard wooden sailing ships, served through the Civil War blockade, and watched the service remake itself around steam engines, iron hulls, and heavier guns. The recollections move between shipboard routine, foreign ports, and portraits of the officers and customs of a vanishing age, with candid notes on how a young man learned his profession at sea. Readers drawn to the human side of naval history will find a firsthand account of a technological turning point, told by the era's most influential strategic thinker.
