Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book details the abstract of the course given at the Naval War College in 1899 on naval strategy, tactics and international law. The course sought to progress upon methods used in other military colleges, focusing on individual research, discussion and war games to practically consider naval defense, strategy and tactics under differing circumstances. Notably, the book details several international law situations for officers in attendance to solve and discuss, and covers the strategic features of New England's coast, sea power of several global nations, and the Eastern defenses of Long Island sound. Further, it explores naval scouting, and discusses mines and other defensive obstacles used in Guantanamo Bay during the Spanish War. It also covers tropical diseases and their mitigation, and details the main strategic problem given to the officers in attendance for their solution. The book usefully preserves these discussions, lectures and problems as a resource for future naval officers or those interested in naval history.
