The American War of Independence was in large part fought at sea. Three navies the British  the
French and the American were at the centre of the conflict  in addition  the Spanish and Dutch
fleets were involved. The role of the naval powers for the outcome of the war and the different
periods of the sea battle are described in detail by Alfred Thayer Mahan. 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. Reprint of the original edition from 1913.
