marc520: "Operations Upon the Sea: A Study" by Freiherr von Franz Edelsheim is a military treatise written in the early 20th century, specifically in the context of Germany’s naval strategies during World War I. This book focuses on the principles of conducting military operations across the sea, addressing various aspects such as troop transport, embarkation, and landing operations. Edelsheim analyzes historical examples to outline effective military strategies and underscores the necessity of detailed preparations for overseas operations. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the logistical and tactical challenges faced by a nation seeking to execute operations over the sea. Edelsheim delves into the principles of sea transport, emphasizing the importance of efficient planning during peacetime and outlining the requirements for successful military campaigns. He discusses the need for naval superiority, efficient mobilization of land forces, and the significance of surprise as a tactical advantage. Through historical references and a detailed exploration of Germany's capabilities, the study acts as a guideline for integrating naval and land strategies, ultimately aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of military operations across the ocean.
