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.
