Notes: "Skeptics who question whether any book can have any tremendous impact on actual events should have cited to them Admiral Alfred T. Mahan's "The Influence of Sea Power upon History." Historians agree that the Mahan work has played a principal role in shaping the modern navies of the world.  Mahan's celebrated book was based upon a series of lectures on tactics and naval history presented in the late eighteen eighties at the newly established War College at Newport, Rhode Island."--from Robert B. Downs' book "Molders of the modern mind."
