Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine condition. NOT a library discard (illustrator). True First Edition. Privately Published, 2018. INSCRIBED to the AUTHOR'S MOTHER and SIGNED by him. The inscription reads, in part: "Mom. Hope you enjoy this (it) started as an outline, and just continued to grow with my progress and a TON of love and support along the way. Thanks for your love and encouragement All my love 2018 (signed) Kyle." This is the TRUE first edition published in 2018, four years before the 2022 Ballast books edition. The author is a retired US Navy Rear Admiral and current President and CEO of the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation. Bound in the original black laminated boards, lettered in bright white, and with a full color photo on the front cover of the author hugging his mother, and with a quotation from Charles Krauthammer on the back. From the publisher of the 2022 edition: "Why me? This is what most people would wonder when suddenly faced with a life-altering hardship. Rear Admiral Kyle Cozad was no different -- at first. However, only days after a freak accident that left him largely paralyzed from the waist down, he chose to view his circumstances with unfailing optimism. That positive attitude, combined with his sheer grit and resilience, helped him do what his neurosurgeon said would be impossible: walk again. In RELENTLESS POSITIVITY Cozad chronicles his career in naval aviation, reflecting on his roles as the Navy's senior leader in the White House Situation Room during the Osama Bin Laden raid and as the commander of the Joint Task Force in Guantanamo Bay. He even relates his experience as commander of the Naval Education and Training Command when the training center suffered a terrorist attack. Then, Cozad recounts how his whole life was turned upside-down when an accident seriously damaged his spinal cord. With raw vulnerability, he describes his incredible journey of recovery and rehabilitation, focusing on the key factors that helped him along the way: his family, the U.S. Navy, and the sense of purpose he developed after his injury. Whether you have experienced a life-altering injury of your own or are simply looking for the inspiration needed to overcome a seemingly insurmountable challenge, regardless of your profession or place in your life, this book is a must-read. As Rear Admiral Kyle Cozad says, 'Life throws each one of us curveballs that we never, ever expect. It's how we adjust ourselves to overcome those curveballs that really defines who we are as individuals.'". INSCRIBED to his MOTHER. True First Edition. Hardcover.

Sold at Sotheby's, 2018. In 1818, the Perry-Elliott affair came to a head when Perry wrote to Navy Secretary Benjamin Crowninshield preferring court-martial charges against his former subordinate. Not wishing to expose the nation to the controversial aspect of Perry's splendid victory on Lake Erie, President James Monroe offered the prestigious title of "Commodore" to Oliver if he'd drop the charges against Elliott. Upon accepting that offer in early 1819 Perry set sail for the Orinoco River, Venezuela, aboard the frigate John Adams (carrying this very book with him) accompanied by the schooner Nonsuch, there to discourage piracy, while maintaining friendly diplomatic relations with the Republic of Venezuela and the Republic of Buenos Aires. Shifting his flag to the shallow-draft Nonsuch Perry sailed upriver to Angostura to negotiate an anti-piracy agreement with President Simon Bolivar. A favorable treaty was signed on August 11 with Vice-President Francisco Antonio Zea in the absence of Bolivar (who was engaged in the liberation of New Granada), but when the schooner started downriver, many of her crew, including Perry, had been stricken with yellow fever. Despite the crew's efforts to reach Trinidad for medical assistance, the commodore died on board Nonsuch on August 23, 1819, his 34th birthday, as the ship was nearing Port of Spain, his flagship John Adams in sight. He was buried in Port of Spain with great honors while the Nonsuch's crew acted as honor guard. Perry's remains were taken back to the United States in 1826 and interred in Newport, Rhode Island. Originally interred in the Old Common Burial Ground, his body was eventually moved to Newport's Island Cemetery. Signed.
