Reviews
Lehman was Secretary of the Navy for six years under Reagan, and was crucial in that administration's push for vastly increased naval capabilities and a 600-ship Navy. Here he ably, if selectively, argues his cases for reform, justifying decisions such as retirement of Rickover, large versus small carriers, high-tech versus low-tech weapons, competitive versus cost-plus procurements, and a Navy organized around 15 nuclear carrier groups. Lehman is a lively writer, pulling few punches. He makes feeble attempts at objectivity, but is unabashedly a Republican stalwart. There are interesting technical analyses of naval policies (both U.S. and foreign), and some telling anecdotes on personalities and politics in Washington. Mandatory for public libraries and subject collections.
