BY KEVIN D. MCCRANIE
“Kevin McCranie has produced a brilliant synthesis, a long overdue examination of the maritime theorists whose works have informed the strategic decisions of the maritime states that have dominated world affairs for two centuries. McCranie has done for naval theory what Michael Handel did for Clausewitz and Sun Tzu.”
—K.J. Delamer, fleet seminar professor, Naval War College
Mahan, Corbett, and the Foundations of Naval Strategic Thought provides an in-depth introduction and a means to stimulate discussion about the theories of Mahan and Corbett. This window into naval strategy provides twentyfirst-century readers an understanding of what navies can and perhaps more importantly cannot do in the international environment.
KEVIN D. MCCRANIE is the Philip A. Crowl Professor of Comparative Strategy at the United States Naval War College in Newport, RI. He is the author of Admiral Lord Keith and the Naval War against Napoleon and Utmost Gallantry: The U.S. and Royal Navies at Sea in the War of 1812.

Developing the Naval Mind
BY BENJAMIN F. ARMSTRONG AND JOHN FREYMANN
While recommending that officers read broadly in pursuit of individual knowledge is an important part of creating a truly educated and professional Fleet and Fleet Marine Force, it is also important for leaders in the sea services to offer mentorship and create opportunities for discourse that encourages group learning. Developing the Naval Mind serves as a how-to manual and syllabus for leaders to create and lead wardroom, ready room, and work center discussion groups across the fleet to create a more educated and professionally engaged Navy and Marine Corps.
BENJAMIN F. ARMSTRONG is a permanent military professor at the U.S. Naval Academy. After spending the first half of his career as a Search and Rescue and Special Warfare helicopter pilot, he earned his PhD in War Studies with King’s College, London before becoming a naval educator.
JOHN FREYMANN is a permanent military professor at the U.S. Naval Academy. After spending the first half of his career as a Surface Warfare Officer, he earned his PhD in the history of Christianity from the University of Chicago before becoming a naval educator.

Marine Maxims
Turning Leadership Principles into Practice
BY COL THOMAS J. GORDON, USMC (RET.)
“A great field guide of character and competence; the key components of trust and the core of leadership. A compilation of experiences to help shape your own."
—Rear Adm. Brian Brakk, former commander Navy Expeditionary Combat Comman
Marine Maxims is a collection of fifty principle-based leadership lessons that Thomas J. Gordon acquired commanding Marines over a career spanning three decades of service. These maxims focus on developing inner citadels of character, moral courage, and the resilience to persevere in a contested domain where information is key. Its purpose is to provide future leaders with a professional development plan that will steel their resolve and enable them to lead with honor.
COL THOMAS J. GORDON, USMC (RET.), is a career Marine with thirty-years of executive leadership experience commanding diverse organizations in the most demanding environments. His final assignment as the Director of the Command and Staff College was a fitting capstone to a career spent developing principled, centered leaders and returning men and women of virtue and character back to society.
