Sea-power in the Pacific

Sea-power in the Pacific

by Hector Charles Bywater

Hector Charles Bywater's *Sea-Power in the Pacific* (1921) offers a prescient analysis of the potential for naval conflict between the United States and Japan in the Pacific. Drawing on the theories of Alfred Thayer Mahan, Bywater examines the strategic implications of sea power in the region, predicting the rise of carrier warfare and the importance of control over key islands. The book's impact on Japanese naval thinking is debated, but its influence on the political struggles within the Imperial Navy during the 1920s is clear. The book's publication coincided with the contentious negotiations for the Washington Naval Treaty, and it is believed to have been translated and circulated among Japanese naval officers.
