Suzanne Geissler, "God and Sea Power: The Influence of Religion on Alfred Thayer Mahan," Eight Bells Book Lecture, Naval War College Museum, March 17, 2016.

It is a biography of our leading naval theorist and proponent of the United States as a sea power that also takes into account his faith as an Episcopalian layperson.  It is a rare look at the 19th Century naval officer and offers great insight into the religious influences of his life.
