Omschrijving

The Autobiography of George Dewey: Admiral of the Navy is a memoir written by George Dewey, one of the most prominent American naval officers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Dewey is best known for his victory at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War, which established the United States as a major naval power.In this book, Dewey provides a firsthand account of his life and career, from his childhood in Montpelier, Vermont to his rise through the ranks of the US Navy. He describes his experiences as a midshipman, his service during the Civil War, and his various assignments around the world. He also shares his insights into naval strategy and tactics, as well as his interactions with other prominent figures of his time, including President Theodore Roosevelt.Throughout the book, Dewey emphasizes the importance of discipline, hard work, and dedication to duty, as well as the value of good leadership and teamwork. He also reflects on the challenges and sacrifices of military service, including the loss of comrades and the toll that war takes on individuals and nations.Overall, the Autobiography of George Dewey offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America's most celebrated naval heroes, as well as a valuable perspective on the history of the US Navy and the nation as a whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
