Professors of War. The Naval War College and the Development of the Naval Profession.
Spector, Ronald
A study is presented of the role of the Naval War College in the professionalization of the U.S. Navy and the effects of that process upon the shaping of naval policy from the founding of the College in 1884 to its temporary discontinuance in 1917 during World War 1. A summary biography is given of Stephen Bleeker Luce, leading advocate and first president of the Naval War College. The selection of the faculty and students, and the development of the original curriculum are discussed. This is followed by chapters on the relationship of the War College to the history of Navy strategies, development of war games, preparation of war plans, and the establishment of professionals in the field of the science of naval warfare.
