1-254240 Karpa, Boris GUNBOATS AND EMPIRES: The Roots of Naval Policy in Early U.S. History A study of Thomas Jefferson's naval strategy, examining how ideology and selective history shaped early American military policy. Reveals how Thomas Jefferson favored small, fast gunboats over a traditional ocean-going fleet, and how this was influenced by Enlightenment ideals and a selective interpretation of European military history.
