Alfred Thayer Mahan "Admiral Farragut"
-
A.T. Mahan was an American naval officer and historian who was a highly influential exponent of sea power in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Called the "Clausewitz of the sea," his books were avidly read in Great Britain and Germany, where they greatly influenced the buildup of naval forces in the years prior to World War I.
Admiral David Glasgow Farragut was a U.S. admiral who achieved fame for his outstanding Union naval victories during the American Civil War. Therefore "Admiral Farragut" is one of those rare times when one military genius is writing about another military genius.
