THE LIFE OF NELSON THE EMBODIMENT OF THE SEA PO...

Horatio Nelson is the most famous seaman in British history. Many books about him have appeared
until today but the study of Alfred Thayer Mahan  published in 1897  is still one of the best
written pieces and a standard work in the field of Nelson s biography research. It was part of
Mahan s seapower studies and contains Nelson s impressive life story as well as Mahan s own
view on naval strategy and warfare tactics. It is essential to the completeness and rounding
off of the author's discussion of the Influence of Sea Power  that he present a study  from his
own point of view  of the one man who in himself summed up and embodied the greatness of the
possibilities which Sea Power comprehends  the man for whom genius and opportunity worked
together  to make him the personification of the Navy of Great Britain. Reprint of the original
edition from 1897. Volume 1 of 2. Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914) was a US Navy officer and
author of influential marine history and strategy books. His work The Influence of Sea Power
upon History  published in 1890  established the modern US Navy doctrine of maritime
predominance: the higher the naval power of a country  the greater its global impact. Mahan s
concepts of naval war tactics were adapted by many navies all over the world.
