Received my 2020 US Naval Institute Press Catalog today and find the below book that will be of interest to many:
A Quest for Glory/A Biography of Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren
Robert J. Schneller Jr.
476 pages, available March 2020, paperback, 60 b&w photos and drawings, 6 maps, $29.95
The author has a PhD in military history from Duke U. and worked 20+ years as an official historian at the Naval History and Heritage Command. He has published 8 books and received several awards.
"Drawing on Dahlgren's meticulously kept diaries and records and recently uncovered family papers, Schneller describes with a biographer's sensitivity and a historian's perspective the admiral's many technical triumphs as well as the plots, duels, intrigues, and betrayals of Dahlgren's life."
