Rickover Uncensored - Paperback

by Claude Berube (Editor), Samuel Limneos (Editor)

Admiral Hyman G. Rickover is one of the best-known and most significant leaders in U.S. naval history. Nearly 250 archival boxes full of his personal papers were bequeathed to the U.S. Naval Academy Museum. Outside of his official biographer, no historian had access to these documents. In "Rickover Uncensored," the editors present a broad section of Rickover's life from love letters in the 1930s to his first wife, his speeches, transcripts of telephone conversations, and memoranda through his retirement. This is Rickover, uniquely in his own words, that reveals the depth, intellect, and drive of the "Father of the Nuclear Navy."
