[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] [b] Gregory P. Gilbert[/b][i] Ancient Egyptian Sea Power and the Origin of Maritime Forces[/i] Australia: Sea Power Centre, 2008 P R E FAC E Despite my early reservations that the extent of Ancient Egyptian sea power was already widely known, it did not take long before I realised that what I have taken for granted for some 25 years or so, was either doubted or denied by many scholars. Hopefully this book will help to educate those who believed that sea power did not exist prior to the introduction of specialist warships, and in the process it will encourage others to look deeper into the many historical experiences that may have contributed to our understanding of maritime strategy and sea power but that have tended to be overlooked in the Western intellectual tradition. I wish to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Captain Richard McMillan, CSC, RAN, Captain Peter Leavy, RAN, Dr David Stevens and the staff at the Sea Power Centre –Australia (SPC-A) for their encouragement and support during the planning, research and writing phases of this project. I am especially grateful to Andrea Argirides whose interest in the Ancient Mediterranean helped to reinvigorate my efforts whenever my own thought processes began to sag. This work was extensively edited and prepared for publication by Andrew Forbes and Michelle Lovi from the SPC-A, who deserve special credit for making sense of the final product. Of course, all remaining errors and omissions are my own. [/QB][/QUOTE]
