In the 19th-century classic, The Influence of Sea Power Upon History , Alfred Thayer Mahan argued the paramount importance of naval superiority in peace and war. This work is still considered definitive today, but as Chester Starr, eminent historian of antiquity, points out in this thought-provoking volume, Mahan's theories have led to serious distortions in the way historians interpret the role of naval power in antiquity. Ranging from the Bronze Age to the fall of the Roman Empire, Starr reassesses the role of sea power, describing major naval battles in fascinating detail and examining technological developments as they help to illuminate the limitations of galleys in warfare. His innovative study provides an important corrective to Mahan's thesis, both as applied to ancient history and to modern strategic thinking.
