Описание: This is the classic mid-19th century work on fortifications by the most distinguished professor of military engineering at West Point Academy, Dennis Hart Mahan. It is key to understanding the system of forts that developed in the early 19th century and provided the backdrop to much of the Civil War. Much of the material in this book was taken from materials taught by Mahan to cadets who later became officers in both the Union and Confederate armies. Revised in 1887 "with a view to rejecting only that which has become obsolete through the introduction of improved weapons and methods and to explaining and illustrating the new features developed from the sane causes".

2019 Reprint of 1892 Edition. Illustrated with maps and charts. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. In 1890, Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan, a lecturer in naval history and the president of the United States Naval War College, published The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783, a revolutionary analysis of the importance of naval power as a factor in the rise of the British Empire. Mahan argued that British control of the seas, combined with a corresponding decline in the naval strength of its major European rivals, paved the way for Great Britain's emergence as the world's dominant military, political, and economic power. Mahan and some leading American politicians believed that these lessons could be applied to U.S. foreign policy, particularly in the quest to expand U.S. markets overseas. It details the role of sea power during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and discussed the various factors needed to support and achieve sea power, with emphasis on having the largest and most powerful fleet. Scholars considered it the single most influential book in naval strategy. Its policies were quickly adopted by most major navies, ultimately leading to the World War I naval arms race. It is also cited as one of the contributing factors of the United States becoming a great power. An enduring classic.
