ADMIRAL JERAULD WRIGHT: WARRIOR AMONG DIPLOMATS by KEY, David M

Manhattan, Kansas: Sunflower University Press, 2001. First printing. 438 pp. Hardcover. Inscribed and dated (11/05/01) by author. Small tear to dust jacket with rubbing at head and foot of spine. 1/2" tear to dust jacket on back right and left upper corners, else very good. Key, a nephew of the admiral, uses the compendium of biographical material from Wright's journals, memos, articles, and letters - all flavored with his low-key wit. Wright had plenty to write about. His career was filled with one-of-a kind assignments, from being in charge of President Calvin Coolidge's yacht to commanding a British submarine in Wold War II (though he was neither British nor a submarine officer. A first-rate 20th Century military biography.
