A Warrior for Freedom [signed] [first edition]

An homage to Admiral Mick Carney, the model for hero Pug Henry in Herman Wouk's The Winds of War, and the father of the author. The professional biography chronicles the Admiral's rise in the ranks, his commands during World War II, his appointment as Chief of Staff, and Deputy Chief of Naval Operations. Much of the information contained in the volume is taken from Carney's personal oral history, providing insight into his thoughts on the events of World War II. Lacks a bibliography.
