About this title

Synopsis

This superb collection of biographical essays tells the story of the U.S. Navy through the lives of the officers who forged its traditions.

Reviews

Bradford (history, Texas A & M Univ.) offers a collection of essays by historians and military writers reflecting on the careers of 20 prominent American naval leaders. The essays review the careers of admirals from Esek Hopkins to David Dixon Porter to Chester Nimitz to Elmo Zumwalt. Instead of reviewing their careers from a historical perspective, the writers look at the leadership and philosophical aspects and show how these men shaped and influence the direction of the navy. For example, due to his strong determination, Rickover brought the navy into the nuclear age, while Zumwalt used his famous "Z-grams" to improve the life and morale of the navy's enlisted personnel. While this book might be out of place in a general-interest library, it could be an important addition to libraries dealing with military science and leadership or libraries with strong leadership and management collections.?Terry L.

Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on standard-sized books weighing up to 4 LB, or 1.8 KG. If your book order is heavy and/or over-sized and the shipping address is OUTSIDE of The United States, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.

At Mahler Books, we make no attempt to over-charge for shipping. Sometimes International buyers are surprised to discover the high cost of shipping heavy or over-sized books.
If you are located OUTSIDE of The United States, and you are ordering a heavy or over-sized book, the shipping costs are estimated to be about 42 US dollars. This is the cost of the Global Priority Flat Rate Box. I agree that this shipping cost seems excessive, but this is what the Postal Service charges me, and this is the cheapest rate I have been able to locate for large books weighing over 1.8 KG.
