Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914) was a United States Navy officer, geostrategist, and educator. His ideas on the importance of sea power influenced navies around the world, and helped prompt naval buildups before World War I.

Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914) was a United States Navy officer, geostrategist, and educator. His ideas on the importance of sea power influenced navies around the world, and helped prompt naval buildups before World War I. Despite his success in the Navy, his skills in actual command of a ship were not exemplary, and a number of vessels under his command were involved in collisions. On the other hand, the books he wrote ashore made him arguably the most influential naval historian. In 1885, he was appointed lecturer in naval history and tactics and the Naval War College. Before entering on his duties, Mahan was pointed to write his future studies and lectures on the influence of sea power. He organized his lectures into his most influential books, The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783 (1890).

Autorenporträt
Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914) was a United States Navy officer, geostrategist, and educator, whose work on the importance of sea power dramatically influenced naval strategy across the world. He is best known for his seminal work 'The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783,' published in 1890. This book outlined Mahan's theory that national greatness was inextricably linked to the strength of a country's navy. In 'The Interest of America in Sea Power, Present and Future,' Mahan continued this theme, emphatically articulating a vision where American prosperity and security were dependent on naval supremacy. Mahan's thoughtful analysis and advocacy for a strong United States Navy contributed to the great sea power building era of the pre-World War I period, influencing policymakers, including President Theodore Roosevelt. His theories are often regarded as part of the classical realism school of thought in international relations. Although some of his strategic concepts have been debated and partially superseded, Mahan's impact on naval warfare and the strategic importance of maritime power remains a subject of study in military academies around the globe. His ideas shaped not only the implementation of power politics in the twentieth century but also remain relevant to contemporary geopolitical debates.
