To Master the Boundless Sea: The U.S. Navy, the Marine Environment, and the Cartography of Empire

byJason W. Smith

In To Master the Boundless Sea, Jason W. Smith presents a historical account centered on the U.S. Navy, the Marine Environment, and the Cartography of Empire. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the wider field of history. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Together, these elements make To Master the Boundless Sea an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
