- Summary:
- "This book may be thought of as the biography of an idea-the concept of Sea Power. This term was first coined by Captain A.T. Mahan and formed the core thread of his life's work. Although Mahan's scholarship has long been seen as foundational to all systematic study of naval power, Neptune Factor is the first attempt to explain how Mahan defined 'Sea Power' and how his definition shifted over time"-- Provided by publisher.
