Lisle A. Rose's Power at Sea: The Age of Navalism, 1890–1918 traces the emergence of modern sea power from the Age of Fighting Sail into the dreadnought era, framing the naval arms race and battleship diplomacy of Britain, Imperial Germany, Japan and the United States within the late‑19th‑century scramble for markets and empire. Rose moves from the Royal Navy–German rivalry that helped precipitate World War I to America's Great White Fleet, the clashes at Manila Bay and Tsushima, and the climax at Jutland and the U‑boat campaign, emphasising how technological innovation, industrial capacity and shipboard social life shaped strategy and the wider course of the early twentieth century.
Published by the University of Missouri Press (ISBN 9780826217011), this first volume covers 1890–1918 on a global canvas and delivers a comparative treatment of major navies, naval doctrine and the industrial foundations of sea power. Aimed at both general readers and scholars, the book blends strategic, political and social analysis—navalism, dreadnoughts, submarines, officer culture and naval industry—and serves as a prologue to Lisle A. Rose’s succeeding volumes.

New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
