21st Century Knox
Author: David A Kohnen
Publisher: Naval Institute Press
ISBN: 1612519814
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Commo. Dudley Wright Knox took a practitioner’s approach to maritime history, helping to frame a global mission for the U.S. Navy. Having graduated with the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1897, he commanded a variety of warships and flag headquarters. He served in combat during the 1898 Spanish-American War, the Boxer Rebellion, and in the Philippines. With intelligence, Knox lead efforts to establish the “special relationship” between the Royal Navy and U.S. Navy during two world wars. Helping to realize the visions of a “navy second to none” Knox assisted President Franklin D. Roosevelt in educating Americans to understand the nexus between war and peace. Unlike armies or air forces, Knox argued that navies provided unique means, “not to make war but to preserve peace, not to be predatory but to shield the free development of commerce, not to unsettle the world but to stabilize it through the promotion of law and order.” 21st Century Knox offers a primer on the thinking of the man who exerted an enormous influence on the U.S. Navy during the first fifty years of the twentieth century. His ideas on questions of strategy, leadership, and maritime operations remain relevant to naval professionals into the twenty-first century and beyond.

Book Description
I was born in a valley not very remote from the sea. My father had been a sailor inyouth, and some of my earliest recollections are connected with the history of hisadventures, and the recollections they excited. He had been a boy in the war of therevolution, and had seen some service in the shipping of that period. Among otherscenes he witnessed, he had been on board the Trumbull, in her action with theWatt-the hardest-fought naval combat of that war-and he particularly delightedin relating its incidents. He had been wounded in the battle, and bore the marks ofthe injury, in a scar that slightly disfigured a face, that, without this blemish, wouldhave been singularly handsome. My mother, after my poor father's death, alwaysspoke of even this scar as a beauty spot. Agreeably to my own recollections, themark scarcely deserved that commendation, as it gave one side of the face a grimand fierce appearance, particularly when its owner was displeased.
