Excerpt from International Arbitration: How, and How Far, Is It Practicable?; An Address Delivered by Hon. John A. Kasson, LL. D.; Before the U. S. Naval War College, September 19, 1896
Throughout most of this immense advance to a better condition of the world, the Government of the United States by their judicial courts, their diplomacy, and their navy, have led the way.
There is, however, a further advance in international civilization for which our Republic has attempted to blaze the path through a forest of difficulties. It is to establish a method by which differences between nations which the usual diplomatic agencies fail to adjust may be honorably settled without a resort to war.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book thoughtfully examines the shift in the function and perception of naval commanders that occurred during the 19th century. Once seen as romanticized warriors who wielded their power with little regard for the consequences, naval commanders by the turn of the century were increasingly viewed as peacekeepers bound by law and morality. The author traces this transformation, analyzing how international diplomacy and changing societal attitudes toward warfare influenced the role of naval forces. Drawing on historical examples and the insights of military leaders like Frederick of Germany, the book argues that while armed conflict remains a grim possibility, the primary duty of naval commanders in the present day is to prevent war, not to fight it. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the evolution of naval warfare, highlighting the growing importance of diplomacy and restraint in international relations.
