Personality And Profitability

摘要

Hyman Rickover lived the American dream. Born in Russia in 1900, when many ocean-going ships wee powered by wind, he immigrated to the U.S. as a boy, graduated from the Naval Academy, became a four-star admiral, and championed the use of nuclear energy to power the fleet. Hailed as the "father of the nuclear navy," Rickover's achievements were such that he remained on active duty for 63 years.
