The Life Of Nelson, Vol. I (Of 2) The Embodiment Of The Sea Power Of Great Britain
Von: A. T. (Alfred Thayer) Mahan
User: disha
The Life Of Nelson Has Been Written So Often, That An
Explanation--Almost An Apology--Seems Due For Any Renewal Of The
Attempt; But, Not To Mention The Attractiveness Of The Theme In
Itself, It Is Essential To The Completeness And Rounding Off Of The
Author's Discussion Of The Influence Of Sea Power, That He Present A
Study, From His Own Point Of View, Of The One Man Who In Himself
Summed Up And Embodied The Greatness Of The Possibilities Which Sea
Power Comprehends,--The Man For Whom Genius And Opportunity Worked
Together, To Make Him The Personification Of The Navy Of Great
Britain, The Dominant Factor In The Periods Hitherto Treated.
