Overview

Published in 1922, this is a gripping history of the United States Navy during World War I. Because Daniels was the secretary of the navy during that time, it is packed not only with inside knowledge but also with the kind of verisimilitude that comes only from personal experience.

Josephus Daniels (1862-1948) was an American editor and diplomat. He served as secretary of the navy under President Woodrow Wilson throughout World War I, and later was appointed ambassador to Mexico by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. His power in the media led him to help Democrats gain control of the government, as well as influence certain laws.
