Aircraft Carriers at War: A Personal Retrospective of Korea, Vietnam, and the Soviet Conflict

This remarkable memoir from Admiral Holloway focuses on the events of the Cold War that shaped the evolution of the modern aircraft carrier and the character of today�s Navy. Both a strategic study and a powerful retrospective, it is packed with humor and inspiration that leaves the reader in awe of the man and the Navy he served. Holloway�s recollections�from the cockpit and from the table of the National Security Council�are a testament to the heroic service of those who fought in the long war and the national leadership that took us through this perilous period of America�s history. AUTHOR: James L. Holloway III reired in 1978 as chief of naval operations and member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and served for the next decade as presidential appointee in a number of capacities. He is the chairman of the Naval Historical Foundation.
