Product Information
Rickover projected none of the commanding physical presence of the stereotypical naval captain. But nobody in the ... maneuvering room doubted his authority. ... His indomitable will, ruthless determination, and engineering insight had brought the submarine thermal nuclear' reactor and Nautilus program to this point. Plenty of doubts remained about whether the [reactor] would explode when it powered up. Panicky engineers suggested starting it up remotely. Rickover killed that idea. He even rebuffed controlling the start-up from the balcony over the hull. Should anything go wrong, he would suffer the consequences along with the rest ... The silent men listened for the sounds that would answer their fears and dreams. Those sounds came right away. Hissing steam hit the turbine in the ... sub's power plant. The whine of spinning gears pierced the engine room. The red-and-white striping of the thick propeller shaft slowly began to snake and turn. ... The men listened in silent awe to the first machine noises produced by harnessed atomic energy ... Rickover remained outwardly impassive. But he knew they were witnessing a unique event in humanity's existence, the invention of a new, perhaps inexhaustible form of energy ... The Age of Atomic Power was born. Book jacket.

Reviews
"A superb and even-handed treatment of a complex, brilliant, and driven admiral who inspired both awe and loathing across the Navy he fundamentally reshaped. Rickover's raw accomplishments in delivering nuclear power afloat changed the US Navy forever and remain seminal today."--Admiral James Stavridis, former Supreme Commander, NATO, and author of 2034 "Hyman Rickover is justifiably known as the 'Father of the Nuclear Navy.' Marc Wortman provides a lively, deeply informed, and revealing portrait of this remarkable man, warts and all."--David Holloway, author of Stalin and the Bomb, "Marc Wortman delivers a 17-gun salute to this short, profane spitfire who pulled a reluctant Navy into the atomic era. . . . Wortman opens a window into the life of an intellectual titan disdainful of nearly everything except scientific honesty, his adopted nation, and the power of the atom."--Jonathan W. Jordan, Wall Street Journal "Marc Wortman's fascinating biography, part of the Yale Jewish Lives series, captures the many contradictions of his accomplished subject."--Emily Schneider, Jewish Book Council "A delightful, entertaining, and informative read. Highly recommended."--Dr. Ernie Marshall, Navyhistory.org "A superb and even-handed treatment of a complex, brilliant, and driven admiral who inspired both awe and loathing across the Navy he fundamentally reshaped.

Wortman does a masterly job of detailing Rickover's astonishing career and his many accomplishments while also giving a vivid sense of the man himself."--Kathleen Broome Williams, Strategypage.com Awarded the John Lyman Book Award honorable mention in the category of Naval and Maritime Biography and Autobiography, sponsored by the North American Society for Oceanic History Winner of the 2023 Captain Richard Lukaszewicz Memorial Book Award, sponsored by the U.S. Military History Group "A superb and even-handed treatment of a complex, brilliant, and driven admiral who inspired both awe and loathing across the Navy he fundamentally reshaped.
