Rickover was not long removed from his Jewish roots in Poland when he graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1922. After a respectable career spent mostly in unglamorous submarine and engineering billets, he took command of the U.S. Navy's nuclear propulsion program and revived his career, being retired-involuntarily-some thirty years later in early 1982.

From his immigrant childhood to one of the most remarkable and competent leaders of the military industrial complex, Admiral Rickover was the driving force behind making military and commercial nuclear power practical and safe. Allen and Polmar have provided a well-balanced and interesting profile of a great American."--K. J. Moore, editor of Fire at Sea: The Tragedy of the Soviet Submarine Komsomolets and c
