Freepers I am turning to you all for assistance in preparing a class lecture on the importance of Mahan's "The Influence of Sea Power Upon History". Specifically I was hoping one of you well read Freepers can direct me to a good, excerpt or summary of Mahan's "The Influence of Sea Power Upon History". Something I can hand out in class. I have read his many articles but none of them seem to cover the major points of his theories succinctly. So I am wondering now if there is a good excerpt of his major work that you all could point me to.
The work of a teacher is supposed to include doing the research for his/her classes. That way you make the information you give to students your own and you can answer questions with confidence.
Thanks, I have Tuchman’s book and you’re correct that it is well known and I found, very readable history. Not what I’m looking for though. I’m looking for actual excerpts of Mahan’s work.
