Conclusions
Bruce Elleman, in 100 case studies ranging from the eighteenth century to the present, examines the role of maritime power. The subjects include mutiny and piracy, coalition warfare, blockade, sea control, and sea denial. The reader, whatever their specialization, will find the examples as well as the comparison of sea powers versus land powers interesting and thought provoking.

Bruce Elleman draws in this book upon his long and prolific scholarly engagement with issues of diplomacy, maritime strategy, and sea power. The result is a stimulating combination of historical analysis and theoretical proposition which could not be more topical in a world of continental and maritime rivalries.
