A superb and even-handed treatment of a complex, brilliant, and driven admiral who inspired both awe and loathing across the Navy he fundamentally reshaped. Rickover's raw accomplishments in delivering nuclear power afloat changed the US Navy forever and remain seminal today. -Admiral James Stavridis, former Supreme Commander, NATO, and author of 2034 Hyman Rickover is justifiably known as the 'Father of the Nuclear Navy.' Marc Wortman provides a lively, deeply informed, and revealing portrait of this remarkable man, warts and all. -David Holloway, author of Stalin and the Bomb
