100 Year Old Thinking Still Works.,

This review is from: Some Principles of Maritime Strategy (Paperback)
This is a much under appreciated work. Roughly contemporary with the commissioning of HMS DREADNOUGHT (1907), Corbett examines von Clausewitz through the lens of the British Experience. Corbett's most important contribution is on the preferred form of War of the United States and Great Britain, War Limited by contingent. That is, where the object of the war is the complete defeat of the enemy, but the position of the combatant allows it to be limited.
While I found Alfred Thayer Mahan's work to be, politely, aged and rather shoddy, this legalistic work explains how Naval strategy should be thought of. But then I'm not at the Naval War College. |
