21st Century Knox by David A Kohnen Usn
In maritime affairs, US Navy Commodore Dudley Wright Knox provided a singular example of leadership in his chosen profession. Knox gained perspective on the higher levels of command as a staff officer during two world wars. Ultimately, conditioning in the American naval service inspired Knox to envision an American Navy second to none. This volume analyseshis career.
"David Kohnen has selected key writings spanning Knox’s more than fifty-year career and combined them with a thoughtful introduction and commentary that places these writings in contemporary contextThe result is a handy collection of short articles that speak both to the U.S. Navy’s history and to the challenges it faces today.”

“This book and its distillation of ideas and thinking that came from Knox’s ‘50 years before the mast’ during a time period during which Knox had a front row seat as the U.S. Navy changed from a small, relatively weak force into one with truly global responsibilities and missions, is an essential read for all naval officers.”
