Julian S. (Julian Stafford) Corbett
Julian Stafford Corbett (1854–1922) was a British naval historian and strategic theorist known for his influential works on maritime strategy. His most famous book, "Some Principles of Maritime Strategy" (1911), explored the role of sea power in warfare and the importance of controlling sea lines of communication. Corbett emphasized the integration of naval and land forces, challenging the earlier ideas of naval dominance espoused by Alfred Thayer Mahan. He also contributed to historical studies, including his multi-volume work "Official History of the Great War: Naval Operations," which documented British naval actions during World War I.
