Please join the Naval Historical Foundation this Saturday, 20 August 2022, at 1100 EDT for our Second Saturday show for August 2022 where we will feature Dr. Craig Symonds in a personal interview with Executive Director Rear Admiral Sonny Masso USN (Ret), from the magnificent Jack Taylor Center located in the spaces of the U.S. Naval Institute in Annapolis, MD. Dr. Symonds will be introduced by Mr. Stephen Ryan, noted Washington D.C., attorney and former member of the staff of Senator John Glenn.
This wonderful book takes a bold look at Nimitz the leader, Nimitz the motivator, Nimitz the broker of sanity in an ocean of tough colleagues, a worthy opponent, sparse resources, and decisions that would define the world stage into the 20th Century and beyond.
Hear Nimitz commanders intent delivered to his commanders on the eve before the battle of Midway. “You will be governed by the principle of calculated risk, which you shall interpret to mean the avoidance of exposure of your force to attack by superior enemy forces without good prospect of inflicting, as a result of such exposure, greater damage on the enemy.” Watch as other examples of leadership are discussed in this one-hour pre-recorded session.
