In the aftermath of the carnage of the Civil War, the nation struggled to give shape to a country drenched in blood. In many ways, we are still fighting old battles and still trapped in assumptions that blocked the ...

Why did Japan attack the US at Pearl Harbor? It’s important to first consider the history between Japan and the US. Political relations between the two countries have a complicated past.

Mines! Torpedoes! Improvised Explosive Devices at sea! When the War of 1812 broke out there was no way that the United States could sustainably go toe-to-toe with the far larger royal Navy, and so Congress authorized “An Act to encourage the destruction of the armed vessels of war of the enemy.” The Torpedo Act promised one-half the value of any sh…

Why are we giving money and weapons to Ukraine?

Ok, so it's not American Naval History, but this episode is too interesting not to post. With Professor Bret Devereaux I discuss the essentially non-Mahanian nature of ancient naval warfare.
