Alfred Thayer Mahan has been called nineteenth-century evangelist of sea power. Chinese analysts invoke Mahan's writings, exhorting their nation to build a powerful navy. This book aims to test the interplay between Western military thought and Chinese strategic traditions. It examines how Mahanian thought shaped China's encounters on high seas.
