Hamilton Holt, editor of the Independent, published a criticism by Park Benjamin of A. T. Mahan’s book, Types of Naval Officers, and Mahan is upset that confidential comments made in his correspondence to Holt, in which he took issue with Benjamin, were published. Mahan feels that the Independent “has misled its readers” by failing to correct false information.
