The Interest of America in Sea Power, Present and Future Produced by Steven Gibbs and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. "The Interest of America in Sea Power, Present and Future" by A. T. Mahan is a historical treatise written in the late 19th century. The work examines the role of sea power in shaping national policies and strategies, particularly in relation to America's growing economic and military interests as it looks outward into the world. The book discusses the implications of naval strength for the future of the United States, making a case for expanding maritime influence to secure commerce and international interests. The opening of this work begins by outlining the prevailing attitude of Americans towards their domestic economy and industries, emphasizing a historical trend of insularity and protectionism. Mahan argues that such an inward focus is increasingly untenable given the nation's vast resources and industrial capabilities, which necessitate engagement with global markets. He highlights the changing geopolitical landscape, marked by the ambitions of European powers in distant territories, and stresses the importance of a robust navy as essential to protecting American interests and securing trade routes. The narrative suggests a critical juncture for the United States to decide between retreating into isolation or embracing its future as a maritime nation.
