| Why it’s on the list | Lambert’s reassessment of Alfred Thayer Mahan — arguing that the sea-power doctrine navies built themselves around was a misreading of what Mahan actually said. |
Where I heard about it
- @DustinWalper — on X, June 2025: “Essential reading for the sea-curious.”
Connections
- World War I — the war fought on the doctrine Lambert reexamines.
- Globalization — sea power as the thing that made trade-based empire possible.
