Year: 2019 Language: english Author: James R Holmes Genre: Textbook Publisher: Naval Institute Press Edition:1 ISBN: 9781682473825 Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 200 Print length Description: A Brief Guide to Maritime Strategy is a deliberately compact introductory work aimed at junior seafarers, those who make decisions affecting the sea services, and those who educate seafarers and decision-makers. It introduces readers to the main theoretical ideas that shape how statesmen and commanders make and execute maritime strategy in times of peace and war. Following in the spirit of Bernard Brodie's Layman's Guide to Naval Strategy, a World War II-era book whose title makes its purpose plain, it will be a companion volume to such works as Geoffrey Till's Seapower and Wayne Hughes's Fleet Tactics and Coastal Combat, the classic treatise that explains how to handle navies in fleet actions. It takes the mystery out of maritime strategy, which should not be an arcane art for practitioners or policy-makers, and will help the next generation think about strategy. By introducing the central ideas from the masters of maritime strategy Mahan, Corbett, and their kindred theorists and by doing so in an accessible way, believe this book will help officers, especially junior officers, attain a working knowledge in larger strategic things while still having the time to attend to their demanding duties becoming tactical experts.
