Nicholas A. Lambert, author of The Neptune Factor: Alfred Thayer Mahan and the Concept of Sea Power, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Nicholas discuss why Alfred Thayer Mahan's 19th century work on The Influence of Sea Power Upon was so influential, how today's era of globalization, geopolitical rivalry, and economic entanglement rhymes with the pre-WWI period, the importance of naval power today, and how policymakers and the military consistently fail to focus their attention on the right metrics of success.
