From the time of the Greeks and the Persians clashing in the Mediterranean, sea power has determined world power. To an extent that is often underappreciated, it still does. No one understands this better than admiral James. In sea power, admiral shows us how the geography of the oceans has shaped the destiny of nations and how naval power has in a real sense made the world we live in today and will shape the world we live in tomorrow. Not least, sea power is marvellous naval history, giving us fresh insight into great naval engagements from the battles of salamis and lepanto through to the cold war. It is also a keen-eyed reckoning with the likely sites of our next major naval conflicts, particularly the arctic ocean, eastern Mediterranean and the south china sea. Finally, sea power steps back to take a holistic view of the plagues to our oceans that are best seen that way, from piracy to pollution. When most of us look at a globe, we focus on the shape of the of the seven continents. Admiral sees the shapes of the seven seas. After reading sea power, you will too.
