Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mahan on Naval Warfare: Selections From the Writing of Rear Admiral Alfred T. Mahan In his volume of reminiscences, "From Sail to Steam," Rear Admiral Mahan gives us his father´s opinion and his own later judgment regarding his choice of the navy as a life work. "My father told me he thought me less fit for a military than for a civil profession, having watched me carefully. I think myself now that he was right; for though I have no cause to complain of unsuccess, I believe I should have done better elsewhere." The father, Dennis Hart Mahan, was a graduate of West Point, in later life a distinguished professor of engineering at the Military Academy, and thus well qualified to weigh his son´s character and the requirements of a military career. The verdict of both father and son, moreover, may appear borne out by the fact that, while the name of Mahan is more widely known today than that of any other American naval officer, his fame rests, not on his achievements as a ship or fleet commander, but as a great naval historian and student of naval warfare. Whatever the apparent wisdom of the choice at the time, it was in the event fortunate both for himself and for the naval profession.
