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.
