Beschreibung
Sea Dog is the autobiography of Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, Jr. (1872‑1948), a long-serving naval officer noted for his controversial views on a variety of subjects, and his outspoken defense of them. His memoirs cover a broad swath of naval history from the late nineteenth century leading up to World War 2—the Philippine insurrection in which the United States was embroiled on the heels of the Spanish-American War; America's involvement in China between the World Wars; naval bureaucracy and politics; and mundane but fascinating matters such as target practice at sea. Sea Dog offers a unique perspective on key historical events and is a must read for students of naval military history.
