About this book
Clear thinking about war begins, for Julian Stafford Corbett, with a shared language between officers and political leaders. This study of maritime strategy explains how theory can help them weigh a situation, agree on its essential features, and turn discussion into coherent plans. Its chapters move from offensive and defensive war, and limited and unlimited aims, to the composition of fleets and the problem of command at sea. Naval action appears within a wider relationship between military and political purposes.
The discussion of blockade makes that method concrete. Corbett compares close watch near an enemy port with a more distant position designed to bring an opposing fleet to battle. He weighs local and lasting control against fatigue, readiness, and the effort a fleet can sustain.
