""The Influence of Sea Power Upon History 1660-1783"" is a historical book written by American naval officer and historian, Alfred Thayer Mahan. The book was first published in 1890 and has since become a classic in the field of naval history. The book explores the role of naval power in shaping the course of history during the period from 1660 to 1783. Mahan argues that control of the seas was essential to the success of any nation, and that naval power played a crucial role in the rise and fall of empires during this time period. He examines the strategies and tactics used by various naval powers, including Great Britain, France, and the United States, and analyzes the impact of naval power on major historical events such as the American Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. Mahan's insights into the importance of naval power have had a lasting impact on military strategy and international relations, and his book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of naval warfare and the role of sea power in shaping world events.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
