Admiral Arleigh (31-Knot) Burke [EPUB ebook] 
The Story of a Fighting Sailor

支持


Written by two World War II veterans who later became well-known war correspondents, this biography records the inspiring life of one of America’s great naval heroes. Popularly referred to as ’31-Knot’ Burke, Admiral Arleigh Burke fought savage battles at sea and won every decoration a grateful nation could bestow, yet his service to his country was not in combat alone. This book is at once a stirring testament to Burke’s World War II record as a combat leader and to his talents as a diplomat at the armistice table in Korea and as a politician in Washington. It details his legendary victories with DESRON 23 in the Pacific and his development of high-speed night tactics for destroyers that resulted in what many call the perfect naval engagement at the Battle of Cape St. George. Burke’s most enduring contributions occurred during his unprecedented three terms as chief of naval operations when he directed the Navy’s technical development during its revolutionary change from steam and gunpowder to nuclear concepts in ships, weaponry, strategy, and tactics. Published soon after Burke’s retirement from the Navy in 1961, the book has remained a standard reference for four decades.
