RADM Dave Oliver, USN (ret.): A Navy Admiral's Bronze Rules: Managing Risk and Leadership, USNI, 252 pp. While there is still hardly any literature in German-speaking countries on the leadership experiences and recommendations of generals and admirals that would be suitable for future generations of officers, the U S Naval Institute (USNI) in Annapolis has been committed for years to preserving such leadership experiences for posterity and thus also for future military leaders. The author's experiences include commanding a nuclear-powered submarine, serving as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Seventh Fleet and in procurement at the Pentagon, all of which have been passed on following his active...

In his recently published book, Hugues Canuel, naval officer in the Royal Canadian Navy, examines 25 years of French naval policy, which, following France's defeat in the Second World War, attempted to develop an independent, national policy during the period of the armistice, the resistance against Germany, the alliance with the USA and Great Britain and the years of the Cold War, including the nuclearisation of its submarines. The aim was to combine the interests of a classic land power with its interests in the colonies and overseas territories with the support of naval forces.
