This definitive commentary on naval leadership presents the views of the most distinguished flag officers in the U.S. Navy whose wide inventory of attributes define the character of a successful modern leader. Edgar Puryear offers an artfully organized compendium of leadership principles as expressed over the past sixty years by such accomplished officers as Ernest King, Chester Nimitz, William Halsey, Arleigh Burke, James Holloway, Carlisle Trost, Stansfield Turner, and William Crowe Jr. Rather than presenting them in abstract terms, Puryear embeds these lessons in leadership in firstperson accounts of significant events in history to dramatically illustrate the particular aspect of command under discussion. The admirals frankly describe rationales for the actions they took, often in the face of strong bureaucratic opposition. Two of the Navys most controversial leaders, Admiral Zumwalt and Admiral Rickover, are examined with thoughtful and telling testimony from their contemporaries, who explore the motivation, character, and legacies of these complex individuals. This broad array of detailed case histories and analysis succeeds where other books do not in defining the qualities of leadership that have placed the Navy in a position of prominence today.
