商品描述

Frank Knox served as Secretary of the Navy during some of the most eventful years in U.S. naval history, his tenure coinciding with a number of dramas such as the innovative 1940 bases-for-destroyers initiative (which he conceptualized prior to entering the administration), the undeclared naval war in the Atlantic against Germany's U-boats in 1941, the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the subsequent naval war in the Pacific, and naval landings in North Africa and Italy. Knox's most important contribution to the war effort was his leadership in building a 1,000-ship fleet, without which the much-heralded landings and battles might never have been possible. In this comprehensive biography, Christopher D. O'Sullivan offers a portrait of the Roughrider in FDR's cabinet.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

Frank Knox 在美國海軍歷史上最具事件性的幾年中擔任海軍部長，他的任期與多個重大事件重疊，包括他在進入政府之前構思的1940年驅逐艦基地計畫、1941年對德國潛艇的未宣戰海戰、1941年12月的珍珠港攻擊、隨後的太平洋海戰，以及在北非和義大利的海軍登陸。Knox 對戰爭努力的最重要貢獻是他在建造一支1,000艘艦艇艦隊方面的領導，沒有這支艦隊，備受讚譽的登陸和戰鬥可能根本無法實現。在這本全面的傳記中，Christopher D. O'Sullivan 描繪了 FDR 內閣中的 Roughrider 形象。
