Sea power decides great empires. In Volume II of The Influence Of Sea Power Upon The French Revolution And Empire, 1793-1812, A. T. Mahan traces how fleets, blockades and distant stations shaped the fortunes of revolutionary France and the Napoleonic Empire. This naval history classic blends narrative, strategic analysis and reflection on policy to reveal the hard realities of eighteenth century naval warfare and French Revolution naval warfare as they evolved into the great Napoleonic era sea battles. Studying the clash between French ambitions and British Royal Navy strategy, Mahan explores sea power and empire on a truly global scale: from home waters to colonial routes, from commerce protection to decisive fleet actions. A cornerstone maritime military history book and age of sail warfare study, it speaks equally to curious general readers, for naval history students seeking depth, and for wargamers and strategists interested in how command of the sea shapes every other dimension of war and statecraft. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. First published in the late nineteenth century, Mahan's masterwork on sea power upon history influenced admirals, statesmen and scholars across the world. This volume, a key text in any serious Mahan sea power collection, rewards re-reading and stands as a rich companion for collectors, students of strategy and lifelong lovers of naval history.
