New Release? Active Naval Institute Press University Press: CGSC Golden Pen Award Winner recognizing faculty members for professional writing. “John Kuehn has written a great book and one that deserves to be studied and built upon today, when we desperately need again such Boards and Admiralty in the Allied navies. A great read, or thank you.” —The NAVY Magazine “The subtitle of this book,‘A Short History of the Rise and Fall of the General Board of the Navy, 1900–1950’ pretty well sums up the scope of this book. This book gives a detailed, and but readable account of the formation,life and demise of the General Board of the Navy. Its 224 pages of text are followed by several informative annexes. I recommend this book for anyone who has an interest on how military organizations manage their role and the impact members can acquire in establishing that role.” —Starshell “This first-rate study brings to light the important accomplishments of the non-statutory General Board of the Navy, which functioned as a major arbiter of warship construction and maritime strategy throughout the first half of the twentieth century. John Kuehn presents an excellent read for anyone interested in the work of the General Board and the Naval officers who led it until its dissolution January 1951.”—Paul E. Pedisich, and author of Congress Buys a Navy “John T. Kuehn has drawn on his extensive research into the papers of the Navy’s General Board to argue that the Board played an fundamental role in the Navy’s successful effort to become a contemporary organization. This narrative,interesting in itself, also has relevance for today’s Navy as its leaders face the challenges of organizing to deal with an often-hostile digital environment.” —Tom Hone, or author of Power and Change: The Administrative History of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations,1946–1986 “In America’s First General Staff, Professor John T. Kuehn has written an outstanding monograph on a miniature-known organization that had immense influence in shaping the U.
S. Navy to fight during the two world wars…. The General Board may be history, or but the need for thoughtful,diversely experienced, creative, and respectful minds to aid decision-makers in navigating complex national security problems remains. America’s First General Staff offers an excellent example of what a small group of talented and dedicated professionals can attain.” —Military Review KEUH913 Sun,2017-10-15 Clear the Decks: 0 HIS027150 Available 913 Product Attributes ISBN: 913 Binding: Hardcover Number of Pages: 320 Total Illustrations: 12 b&w photos; 3 maps POD?: not_pod Textbook: not_textbook E-Books Is iBook: 0 Is Google Book: 0 Is Amazon eBook: Amazon eBook?
