A famous military strategist, Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914) recommended in an innovative (and highly insightful) way that the American military should focus on sea-power as the key to its success in any contemporary or future conflicts. Following from his authoritative studies of past military and political events and patterns, Mahan's recommendations have since been largely seen as not only innovative but also true.
