| Summary: | The ten essays presented here are the result of a quarter-century of thinking by Reynolds (history, College of Charleston) about the strategic uses of the sea by true maritime great powers and by land- bound continental nations. His thesis is that geographic and strategic facotrs have largely shaped the characteristics of these states; his major evidence derives from their use of navies.
