Principles of Maritime Strategy

Principles of Maritime Strategy by Julian S. Corbett is a classic work of naval and military thought by one of Britain’s most respected maritime historians. First published in the early twentieth century, this influential book examines naval warfare as part of a wider national and military strategy, rather than as an isolated form of combat.

Corbett argues that control of the sea depends on the effective use of sea lines for communication, movement, and supply, while also denying those advantages to the enemy. His careful definitions and clear approach helped shape modern thinking about maritime power, naval planning, and the relationship between sea power and national goals.

Widely studied and often quoted, this enduring text is a valuable resource for military professionals, historians, students, and readers interested in naval history, strategy, international conflict, and the role of sea power in world affairs.
