Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of living representatives of The Greatest Generation becomes fewer with each passing year, and with their diminution comes the relegation of their extraordinary experiences to second and third hand recounting – an inherited oral tradition more suitable to mythology than true history. Rarely, one of them creates a memoir of first-hand recollections, framing major events in history with personal perspective and eyewitness urgency. Fletcher Manning's book is such a memoir, tracing the extraordinary events in the first half of the Twentieth Century with a distinctly personal hand while reviewing the historical content of a bygone age with clarity and journalistic conciseness. Fletcher Manning was born in the rural America of the early Twentieth Century. The eldest son of North Carolinian farmers, he was born at the height of the First World War, grew up in The Great Depression, and, as a young man, distinguished himself in the Second World War while forging a new, more urbane kind of life for himself and his family. While serving as an officer in the US Navy, he became the first member of his family ever to earn a liberal arts degree, and upon leaving the Navy after thirty years of service, established himself in a second career as a teacher of history. In everything he undertook he ascended to leadership, always by merit, never by ambition. His life was defined by service – to country, to faith, and to family.

Download or read book The Manning of the Royal Navy written by John Selwyn Bromley and published by [London] : Navy Records Society. This book was released on 1976 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should the Royal Navy be manned? Was impressment the best answer to this question? Was the seizure of men off the streets by Press Gangs acceptable to a freedom-loving society? What was the alternative? This issue provoked considerable debate, especially with reference to the Georgian and Victorian Navy, and attracted the attention, not only of naval officers to whom it was an essential matter of vital concern, but also of politicians, administrators, and influential voices in the City and the Press. Professor Bromley examines this important subject through the medium of twenty-five separate and complete pamphlets that were written and publicly circulated between 1693 and 1873. The authors of these pamphlets range from admirals, captains, commanders, lieutenants, and a naval chaplain to a City liveryman, a Middlesex JP, and celebrated philanthropist. Biographies of these authors are provided.

Download or read book Black Officer White Navy written by Reuben Keith Green and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Officer, White Navy is likely the first memoir of a Black naval officer who rose from high school dropout to unrestricted line officer in the post-Vietnam War era. The author's unique career path and insightful analysis of both his personal experiences and those of others in the military give a clear picture of what was happening both within and outside the Navy, and how the forces of discrimination and institutional denial and damage control efforts can make a career in the military fraught with obstacles, as well as opportunities, for a well-qualified minority of any gender, race, or ethnic origin. Recent events and the impact of the commander in chief's statements and actions, which have a direct impact on the thinking and behavior of persons in uniform, make this a timely addition to any military member's library. It is full of potential case study material for any military instructional or group facilitation activity, as well as providing an historical overview of what it was like to be a minority sailor or officer between 1975 and the mid-1990's. Any sailor in uniform, regardless of pay grade or commissioned status, can both benefit and learn lessons from this work. Families can use this work to prepare their own loved ones or to help them try to understand the often lingering consequences of their loved one's military service.

Each of the works—novels, memiors, biographies, autobiographies, management publications—are summarized and the key leadership lessons extracted and presented. Whether individuals work their way through the entire list and read each book cover to cover, or read the summaries provided to determine which appeal to them most, The Leader’s Bookshelf will provide a roadmap to better leadership. Highlighting the value of reading in both a philosophical and a practical sense, The Leader’s Bookshelf provides sound advice on how to build an extensive library, lists other books worth reading to improve leadership skills, and analyzes how leaders use what they read to achieve their goals. An efficient way to sample some of literature’s greatest works and to determine which ones can help individuals climb the ladder of success, The Leader’s Bookshelf is for anyone who wants to improve his or her ability to lead—whether in family life, professional endeavors, or within society and civic organizations.
