Ancient Naval Warfare...Galleys, Strategy, Tactics & More! (LONG version)

Ok, so it's not American Naval History, but this episode is too interesting not to post. With Professor Bret Devereaux I discuss the essentially non-Mahanian nature of ancient naval warfare. Because galleys were both cheap to build (but expensive to maintain) and had very limited operational endurance, the missions they could perform and the strategic use of galley navies was extremely different than Age of Sail and modern navies. For anyone used to thinking about naval power in the modern era this is going to be a paradigm shifting discussion!


Note: This is the long version of this episode containing about 20 minutes of interesting side discussions. If you want to listen to a more compact discussion, check out the short version of this episode, it should be in your podcast feed immediately before this episode.
