The Rickover Effect

Rockwell, T: 1995 Canada, softcover, 411 pages, illustrated. The book describes how Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, through relentless vision, technical rigor, and unorthodox leadership, created the U.S. nuclear Navy and permanently changed naval warfare and nuclear engineering. Drawing on his fifteen years working directly with Rickover, Theodore Rockwell offers an insider’s portrait of a brilliant, demanding, and often controversial figure who battled bureaucracy and industry alike to impose unprecedented standards of safety and excellence.
