'Seapower is one of those books I keep within arm's reach. No one who does business in great waters, or makes policy pertaining to the sea, should be without a copy.' -- James Holmes, US Naval War College

'...like its previous two incarnations, Geoffrey Till's Seapower ...is quite simply the standard work on the profession of arms at sea.' -- The Naval Review

'For both the novice and the seasoned professional returning to the subject of maritime strategy after a lapse of time, Geoffrey Till's Seapower is just the book with which to focus on this subject, understand the broad principles involved, and learn of the challenges ahead.' -- John Hattendorf, Naval War College Review

Reviews of previous editions:
