Out today, Prof. @tjamison_tommy delivers a wide ranging analysis of Mahan's "Influence of Sea Power Upon History" that encourages us to consider the text through 3 lenses: polemic, naval strategy, and grand strategy. Give it a read!
Jamison writes: Like a piece of stained glass held up to the light, the Mahanian concept of 'sea power' is many things at once. It's a specific argument or polemic for one point in history; it's also an analysis of purely naval strategy.

"What rises to the fore in reexamining COIN’s development & application in 19th & early 20th cent French colonial adventuring is the unmistakable fact that COIN was created as a long-term occupying doctrine, not as a doctrine applicable for short-term nation-building escapades."
