Russell, Edgar Farr, Jr.: The influence of Mahan upon sea power, 1967 Apr 1
Student paper by Edgar Farr Russell, Jr. from the Defense Intelligence Agency on the influence on Mahan upon sea power. In this paper, Russell analyzes the effects of Mahan's background, education, and naval service to reveal the nature of his intellectual development and concludes that Mahan's influence is still in effect with the United States generally following his precepts. He ends with a recommendation that courses on Mahan's theories and doctrines be instituted at NWC and other military academies.
