Sea Power

The book emphasizes the strategic importance of the oceans, but I'm curious what motivated this specific perspective. Did the author see a gap in current geopolitical analyses or have personal experiences that shaped this focus?

The stories about naval battles and maritime diplomacy added a layer of excitement, but I wondered if they also risk overshadowing the overarching analysis. How did others interpret the balance between storytelling and analysis?

Given the vast scope of naval history worldwide, the selection process must have been challenging. I wonder what criteria or inspiration guided these choices to craft a cohesive narrative.
