This illustrated edition of Influence of Sea Power Upon History is complete with the original tables and battle maps, permitting readers utmost comprehension of the naval engagements described. Alfred Mahan's exceptional examination of naval military forces and their growing significance is designed both as a reference book and as vivid history. The author describes how various European powers grappled with and sought to exploit the advent of new technology and tactics upon the high seas. Written in the late 19th century, Mahan's accounts span some of the most pivotal battles in naval history. The Seven Years War, whereby the English demonstrated the dominant power of the Royal Navy, would prove a turning point both in the fate of that nation's Empire, and the manner in which sea power was projected and relied upon around the world. Together with the text and illustrations, this edition also includes Mahan's original notes, which are appended as endnotes at the conclusion of each chapter.
