"Bulkeley, one of the most colorful characters in U.S. Navy history, numbers among his exploits the daring PT-boat rescue of General MacArthur from Corregidor in 1942. He is probably, best remembered for his prolonged defiance of Fidel Castro when commanding the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo, Cuba, in the mid-60s: the Cuban leader ... put a $5,0000 dead-or-alive bounty, on his head. In the more than two decades since then, Bulkeley has headed the Naval Board of Inspection and Survey, charged with maintaining shipboard standards of combat readiness. With obvious relish, Breuer (Devil Boats, etc.) recounts the admiral's successes in butting heads with Pentagon brass over such matters as the inadequacies of the F-18 fighter-bomber and the carrier Kennedy.... This is a lively biography about a larger-than-life hero". -- Published Weekly. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
