Publisher's Synopsis
The Eclipse of American Sea Power is a historical book written by Dudley Wright Knox and published in 1922. The book discusses the decline of American naval power during the early 20th century, particularly during the years leading up to World War I. Knox argues that the United States failed to adequately prepare for war, and that its navy was ill-equipped to compete with the naval powers of Europe. The book provides a detailed analysis of the political and strategic factors that contributed to the decline of American sea power, as well as the consequences of this decline for the country's international standing. Overall, The Eclipse of American Sea Power is a compelling and informative read for anyone interested in the history of American naval power and its role in world affairs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
