Seapower : a guide for the twenty-first century / Geoffrey Till.

Geoffrey Till's aims to accomplish the purpose of why and how navies matter, or likely to matter in the twenty-first century. This is relevant to the theoretical framework of the roles navies play as an appreciation to the Maritime Subject within the Joint Term I. Stemming from this cognitive knowledge, the Naval Warfighter Term will find the central focus of the book on the military use of the sea alluding to force structure and strategy applicable to the Maritime Operational Planning module. The tenets of operational planning resonates with the book that is devoted to the composition and use of naval forces, where the author favours the idea that there is a level of theory and practice between the strategic and the tactical--the operational. In the words of Geoffrey Till; ¿́¿Strategy aims to win wars, operational thinking aims to plan successful campaigns, tactical thinking aims to win battles¿́¿. It thus cannot be understated, that Till's knowledge of history, his understanding of different navies and insights into strategy and campaign coherent to the author's grand design to bring about the key message of SEAPOWER conveying the variety uses of the sea and how navies are instruments to achieve national purposes.
