Bibliography : “An important book about foreign policy. . . . deftly diagrams the connections between economic policy and national security.” —Wall Street Journal "[A] penetrating historical and political study.” —Nature “Beautifully crafted. . . . Read this book to come away with a deeper understanding of why the world’s oceans are both vital and connected to core defense, economic, and environmental security.” —War on the Rocks "Bruce Jones has written a timely and important reminder that, with all due respect to sophisticated 21st century cyber weapons, good old-fashioned naval power, enhanced with these new technologies, remains crucial to our collective future. . . . one of the (all-too) rare works that foreign policy wonks can share with people who never read these kinds of books." —Ian Bremmer, president and founder of Eurasia Group “Nothing short of a masterwork of illumination. . . . This is Sapiens for the seas; there is true knowledge on every page.” —Evan Osnos, winner of the National Book Award and author of The Age of Ambition “Bruce Jones vividly shows how what happens on the oceans determines so much of what happens on land.” —Daniel Yergin, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The New Map “Both as writing and analysis, To Rule the Waves is a masterpiece.” —Michael McFaul, Stanford University
