The Letters Of Alfred Thayer Mahan To Samuel A'Court Ashe, 1858-1859 is a collection of letters written by the renowned American naval strategist and historian, Alfred Thayer Mahan, to his friend and fellow naval officer, Samuel A'Court Ashe. The letters cover a period of two years, from 1858 to 1859, during which Mahan was serving on various naval vessels and stationed at different ports around the world.The letters provide a fascinating insight into Mahan's early career as a naval officer and his experiences at sea. They also reveal his deep interest in naval history and strategy, as well as his views on the role of the navy in national defense and international relations.Throughout the letters, Mahan discusses a wide range of topics, including his experiences in the Mediterranean and the Far East, his thoughts on the state of the navy and its future development, and his views on the political and military situation in Europe and Asia.The collection is a valuable resource for scholars and students of naval history and strategy, as well as anyone interested in the life and career of Alfred Thayer Mahan.
