And apologies for wrong pronunciation of 'Louis' (and others). Also for being guinea pigs for my attempt at Adobe Premiere. I don't think I'll be able to switch to Adobe for my long-form videos yet.
All errors are my own. I didn't ask/was not asked to recommend anything in this video.

What university did you attend in the UK then?

[@monophthalmos9633]

Since it was already mentioned in the video: Mahan's "The Influece of Sea Power upon History" is an interesting read. Incidentally I own a copy of the book that used to belong to Alfred von Tirpitz.

BTW, I just saw myself talking in a sunday family reunion about the Chinese Strategy Against the Xiongnu Empire. I don't know how we get there, but it was fun.

When I saw the title I thought this was a video about the grand strategy of book recommendations.

[@Geopoliticus]

Though not strictly grand strategy, Peter Hopkirk’s books on the Great Game are an excellent introduction to imperial grand strategy; especially because we get an idea of how grand strategy works from the level of individual agents to imperial policy makers.

I hope to see more videos from you!

[@sonofnikator4819]

I like your channel.

[@PlayerOblivion]

Thank you for the recommendations!

[@theirishrevolutionchannel1087]

You're making great videos pal, keep it up. If you're ever interested in doing a video about British rule in Ireland hit me up for a collab.

[@Armorius2199]

Let's give it a look.

[@evan448]

I would say you can’t limit your intake

[@MrViktorolon]

16,000 followers is too little for you. We should recruit at least 800 thousand and conquer a small country.

[@NicolasOliva17]

Everytime I watch one of your videos, I think of this channel as a hidden gem, strongly recomended to my friends due to your hard work and effort on your behalf.

This channel reminds me the former admiral I used to work with. He is a brilliant strategist/theorician. I was enlightened whenever he published a new article. And from these days on, my respect for navy admirals specificly has boosted a lot. I suppose you were also mentored by at least one navy admiral at some point.

[@youriefavre9003]

Nice, I have new books in my list. Thanks! By the way, what university do you attend in the UK?

[@realistreset8336]

No mention of Machiavelli's 'Discourses'? Maybe it's not especially comprehensive of applicable for global politics today, but it's a great case-study of what sort of advice state actors sought from generals and advisors during the time.

[@anaveragepondturtle886]

I love your videos , keep up the good work!

[@zomgneedaname]

Is that you actually naming every single European administrative division in the background?

[@sam2424202]

Although certainly more historical, Warren Treadgold’s history of the Byzantine state and society gives a great view on the history and strategies late Roman and Eastern Roman periods. One of the few Byzantine history books that talks both about the state, economy, military, and its culture all in one.

[@andrecarvalho1642]

Hello! Congratulations on your work. For sure yours is one among few channels discussing strategy and geopolitics with the deserved attention and depth. I am a Brazilian MA student in IR whose the main focus of research is Grand Strategy and I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos. Do you have an e-mail address that I could be in touch with you? I would like to discuss a bit more about the British and American schools of Grand Strategy as probably "schools of thought" on the matter, if it is not any incovenience.
