This book is the foundation work of Alfred Thayer Mahan's sea power theory. Mahan devoted his life to the research and writing of naval strategic theory and had rich experience in maritime combat. In this book, he advocates the possession and use of superior navies and other maritime forces to establish control over the ocean and achieve national strategic goals; by telling the history of maritime wars in Europe and America, he reveals the impact of sea power on historical development. In today's world, the concept of winning national sea rights, defending national sea rights, and protecting national maritime rights and interests has been recognized by the majority of maritime countries. The concept of sea power is about to undergo a test in the new century. In order to protect our country's vast maritime territories and safeguard our sacred sovereignty, we must strengthen our concept of sea rights and ensure that the country's sea rights are not infringed upon.
