Its central idea was that a nations success was determined by its sea power - its ability to command the oceans with a large fleet. Frederick Thomas Jane (1865-1916), the founding editor of All the Worlds Fighting Ships and All the Worlds Airships (which continue to this day), here recounts historical battles to argue that other factors were as crucial, if not more, in determining military outcomes. In this daring and astute critique of Mahans work, Jane proposes that fitness to win played an essential role in securing victory. First published in 1906, this work is a thought-provoking contribution to the debate that influenced the naval arms race in the period before the First World War.

If labor could do only one thing at a time that might indeed be so, but there is no reason why labor in taking new thought should weaken itself in the least as regards its present activities. On the contrary, the very intensity and determination back of the struggle which it is now waging should make labor look ahead and prepare itself for exercising the responsibilities that would attend success. Labor is, on the whole, fighting an offensive rather than a defensive war. Why carry on such a campaign unless one expects or hopes to succeed And if one expects or hopes to succeed, why should one not display ones confidence to the world by preparing for it Preparation for success--a revamping of the labor organization so as to make it strong in the art of facilitating production as well as in that of war--would in fact tend mightily to bring about that very state of success. If labor cannot be expected to interest itself in production unless it participates in the gain, neither will the . . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub<
