Zumwalt is a compelling portrait of the controversial military man who is widely regarded as the founder of the modern U.S. Navy, Admiral Elmo Russell ""Bud"" Zumwalt. Chief of Naval Operations during the decades-long Cold War crisis, Zumwalt implemented major strategic innovations that endure to this day, especially in his campaign against racism and sexism throughout the fleet. Larry Berman, the author of Perfect Spy, offers a fascinating, detailed look at an extraordinary man--winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom--an inspiring portrait of leadership that is essential in these troubled times.
Larry Berman has written four previous books on the war in Vietnam: Planning a Tragedy; Lyndon Johnson's War; No Peace, No Honor, and Perfect Spy. He has been a Guggenheim fellow and fellow in residence at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. He received the Bernath Lecture Prize for contributions to our understanding of foreign relations and the Vice Admiral Edwin B. Hooper Research Grant. Berman is professor emeritus at the University of California, Davis, USA, and founding dean of the Honors College at Georgia State University, USA.
