S1 E24: Maritime Strategy (History Suite)

November 23, 2020 - 0 minute read


Jacob Lange and Dr. Caleb Karges go through The Principles of Maritime Strategy, written by British naval historian Julian Stafford Corbett in 1911. They talk about command of the sea, amphibious invasions, and discuss Jomini, Clausewitz, Mahan, and Basil Liddell Hart. Using Corbett's framework, they examine operations in the Russo-Japanese War, the Anglo-Dutch War, the Eighty Years War, the Napoleonic Wars, the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II. This episode is the World War II enthusiasts dream, as we speak about the Battle of Taranto, the 1942 invasion of Crete, Operation Sea Lion (planned German invasion of Britain), the Battle of the Bulge, the Allied submarine war against Japan, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
