Praise for In Peace and War
"A comprehensive, balanced, and compelling history of a first-class educational institution, and of the complex history it services."
—Sean T. Connaughton, Esq., Kings Point '83, Maritime Administrator
"A great read . . . an accurate and absorbing depiction of an institution I was proud to lead for seven years. The authors truly grasped the unique character of the Academy."
—Rear Admiral Thomas A. King, Kings Point '42, sixth Superintendent of Kings Point
"Evokes memories of the earliest challenges in establishing a maritime institution where future success embodies the Academy's motto acta non verba."
—Rear Admiral Lauren S. McCready, Kings Point Professor and Head of Engineering, 1942–1975
"Much more than an institutional history . . . a fascinating and informed portrait of the individuals and philosophies behind Kings Point."
—Captain Warren G. Leback, Kings Point '44, past Maritime Administrator and industry leader
"Well-written and meticulously researched . . . . A must-read for any maritime history buff."
—Captain Arthur R. Moore, Kings Point '44, author of A Careless Word . . . A Needless Sinking
"The best description of the merchant marine in the last seventy-five years, and the best account of why Kings Point became so important to our national security and economy."
—George R. Searle, past president, American Merchant Marine Veterans of World War II
