Excerpt from The Effect of Maritime Command on Land Campaigns: Since Waterloo

United with and made to flourish by war. No incident has occurred analogous to the shattering of French hopes of creating a great empire in the Levant in the Bay of Aboukir. There have been no sea-fights to rank with Lepanto and Trafalgar. Maritime strength has not in appearance governed the course of contemporary history since Waterloo to the same extent as prior to the decline of Buo naparte. But a study of the campaigns since the Great War demonstrates that naval command exerts a very remarkable influence over land Operations under certain given conditions. And it is the purpose of this volume to trace through the military annals of the past eighty years how, sometimes indirectly, at other times in decisive ob vicus fashion, dominion on the waters has affected conflicts between the armies which the enmity of nations has brought into antagonism.
