Sumario:The author explores the far-reaching ambitions of US and German elite naval officers before WWI as they advance navalism. Viewing the causes of the industrial nation, global influence, elite rule, and naval power as inseparable, they channeled in different directions as they developed contrasting outlooks on their bids for world power and maritime force. This book challenges the traditional and exceptionalist assumptions about militarism and national identity in the exploration of empire and goepolitics, warfare and military-operational imaginations, state formation and national governance, and expertise and professionalism.
