| Summary | "Naval Warfare" by James R. Thursfield is a military treatise written in the early 20th century. This work serves as an introduction to the principles and history of naval warfare, elucidating the significance of sea power and the control of maritime communication in conflict scenarios. It emphasizes the consequences of naval actions not only for military leaders but also for civilians, advocating for widespread understanding of these concepts in a democratic society. At the start of the treatise, the author sets the stage for discussing the nature of war, defining it as an armed conflict of national wills. He introduces the idea that naval warfare is a crucial component of broader conflicts between sovereign states, where the outcomes can hinge on a nation's ability to control the seas. Using historical examples, such as the wars between England and Holland and various campaigns, Thursfield highlights how naval dominance—or lack thereof—can substantially affect military operations and political outcomes. He argues for the importance of understanding naval power and command as key components of national strategy, establishing a framework for the discussions that will follow in subsequent chapters.
