Alfred Thayer Mahan

    27. září 1840 – 1. prosinec 1914

    Alfred Thayer Mahan byl americký admirál, geostrateg a historik, jehož koncept „námořní síly“ založený na myšlence, že země s větší námořní mocí budou mít větší celosvětový dopad, ovlivnil strategické myšlení námořnictev po celém světě a dokonce přispěl k námořním závodům ve zbrojení před první světovou válkou. Jeho myšlenky dodnes pronikají do doktríny amerického námořnictva. Mahanův vliv na strategické formování námořních mocností byl tak významný, že je považován za nejvlivnějšího amerického stratéga 19. století. Jeho dílo zůstává klíčové pro pochopení historického vývoje námořní strategie a jejího dopadu na světové dějiny.
