"Naval Strategy" is a book compiled and published by A. S. Mahan, who compiled and published the lecture notes on naval strategy theory he taught at the Naval Academy from 1887 to 1911. Compared with the previous "The Influence of Sea Power on History", "Naval Strategy" is a more mature, detailed and systematic great work. In this book, A. S. Mahan proposed the theory of sea power and sea control.
In "Naval Strategy", A. S. Mahan describes in detail the importance of maritime strategy - whoever can control the ocean can control the entire world. The primary factor in national strength and prosperous trade is control of ocean lines of communication.
"Naval Strategy" also comprehensively analyzes cases of maritime warfare and expounds the basic theories of various countries' naval strategies. The creation of this book has a clear purpose - to allow the country to firmly control its sea power in peacetime and build a powerful navy to ensure the prosperity of the country. After the book was published, it attracted attention from various countries. Both the then German Emperor Hohenzollern and the then British Admiralty Churchill praised the book repeatedly.
