Mahan's work "Lessons of the War with Spain" and, focusing on and using Mahan's thought as the focus of investigation, answers following questions: How and why the late nineteenth century United States decided to transform itself into a maritime power? How and why the 'Italian Mahan' Domenico Bonamico opposed this transformation? How and why England, the real maritime power, agreed to the US transformation?
