Chapter 20 Post-translation

"On Sea Power" summarizes and studies the strategy and tactics of naval warfare and its influence in history with the rationality of soldiers and the wisdom of historians, and puts forward the idea that sea power determines the prosperity and decline of a country's national fortune. The rise of the navies of Japan, Russia, and the United States has made it one of the sixteen classics that have influenced the progress of mankind with the reputation of the navy's Bible. This book is compiled from Mahan's four important works, trying to make readers see all of them: The influence of sea power on history is translated from The Influnce of Sea Power upon History 1660-1783 (Boston: Little, Brown, and Company; 1918);

Conflict in Europe translated from The Interest of America in International Conditions (Boston: Little, Brown, and Company; 1910); The problem of Asia is translated from The Problem of Asia (London: Sampson Low, Marston and Company Limited; 1900); American interests translated from The Interest of America in Sea Power, Present and Future (Boston: Little, Brown, and Company; 1911). The Influence of Sea Power on History was translated by Xiao Weizhong and edited by Mei Ran; the rest was translated by Mei Ran and edited by Lieutenant Colonel Xiao Wei.If it is inappropriate, I hope readers can correct me.
