Abstract:
Lehman, Secretary of the Navy during Reagan's administration, gives a sweeping narrative of the Navy, from the Revolutionary War to the present day, filled with the ships that dominated, equally titanic personalities, and the battles that made history. The book uses the diaries, memoirs, and letters of average sailors to reveal naval combat though firsthand.
