Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition dark blue boards, navy blue cloth spine and silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by John F. Lehman, Jr.; Author Dedication; List of Figures; Preface;…Introduction: Rickover and the Navy Soul; Appendix; Notes; Figures and Index. Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates. "Now, after six years in the Reagan administration, the most successful, the youngest, and the most controversial navy secretary in U.S. history, John F. Lehman, Jr., here writes his personal story - about his life (while he ws still in his twenties) at the National Security Council with Henry Kissinger, his career at the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, his war experiences as a pilot in Vietnam, all preludes to the heart of his book, about his tumultuous career in the Reagan administration. Secretary Lehman was instrumental in creating the most formidable navy of all time. He expanded the American fleet from some five hudred to six hundred ships and against formidable odds established our new forward naval strategy vis-a-vis the Soviet Union. With the candor that is a hallmark of his career, Lehman recounts as among his first decisions how and hwy he felt it imperative to fire Admiral Hyman Rickover. A tough and articulate negotiator, Lehman acheived his stated goals again and again despite opposition among the navy brass and by such political figures as Michael Deaver, Senator William Fulbright, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Thayer, and Attorney General Edwin Meese. His story is comprehensive. He provides inside details on Grenada, the Falklands War, the air interception of the Achille Lauro ship hijackers, the Libyan and Lebanon actions, and American naval operations in the Persian Gulf. Providing an in-epth criticism of the Pentagon, he addresses the real reasons behind the scandals involving defense contractors and consultants and how the navy loses a quarter of its best civilian talent each year. Bound to excite discussion, Lehman's Command of the Seas is an infectiously readable book that confronts America's most serious security issues with a blodness rare in our time." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
