The Influence of Sea Power on Ancient History

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Starr, Chester G., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, In ong>theong> 19th-century classic, ong>Theong> ong>Influenceong> ong>ofong> ong>Seaong> ong>Powerong> Upon History, Alfred Thayer Mahan argued ong>theong> paramount importance ong>ofong> naval superiority in peace and war. This work is still considered definitive today, but as Chester Starr, eminent historian ong>ofong> antiquity, points out in this thought-provoking volume, Mahan's ong>theong>ories have led to serious distortions in ong>theong> way historians interpret ong>theong> role ong>ofong> naval ong>powerong> in antiquity. Trade by ong>seaong> was always important in providing raw materials as well as luxuries, but only rarely was it protected by an established navy. As Starr reveals, two nations that did protect ong>theong>ir trade routes--Aong>theong>ns and Carthage--both fell after long duels with land-based forces, Sparta and Rome. And though Rome went on to create ong>theong> most perfected and widely based naval structure in antiquity, when Rome fell it was due to invasions by land, not by ong>seaong>. Starr describes major naval battles in fascinating detail, and he examines technological developments as ong>theong>y help to illuminate ong>theong> limitations ong>ofong> galleys in warfare. Ranging from ong>theong> Bronze Age to ong>theong> fall ong>ofong> ong>theong> Roman Empire, this innovative study provides an important corrective to Mahan's ong>theong>sis, both as applied to ancient history and to modern strategic thinking.
