Críticas:
"Holloway is the rarest of great leaders; a man who has been tested and distinguished himself in combat in three bitter wars, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, who has reflected deeply on those experiences, and drawn much insight and wisdom from them. He applied that judgment to help lead the nation at the highest levels during the critical phase of the Cold War. His firmness and insight in those years played a major role in bringing about eventual victory. His counsel continues to be sought by the top civilian and military leaders. Historians and a new generation of readers now have his reflections and literate commentary on those momentous times. It is an invaluable history and a gripping read." John F. Lehman Jr., Secretary of the Navy, 1981 87 "Throughout military history, certain weapons predominated on the field of battle. Such was the American aircraft carrier from World War II to the present. One of the Navy's great sailors, Admiral James Holloway III, skillfully weaves his own naval career with that of naval aviation, U.S. policy, and diplomacy during that turbulent era in his excellent book Aircraft Carriers at War." Capt. James A. Lovell, USN (Ret.), Commander, Apollo 13 "No one is more qualified than Admiral Holloway to write about the role that has been played by aircraft carriers in shaping America's military strength. By the time I was in government, one of the first questions raised in shaping policy during many crises was, 'Where are the carriers?' And Admiral Holloway, as Deputy Chief of Naval Operations, and later as Chief, was always there with a helpful answer. Aircraft Carriers at War is an inspiring saga of courage and leadership on the high seas and will be a valuable resource for naval historians, scholars of U.S.-Soviet strategic maneuvering during the Cold War, and anyone who enjoys an exciting and well-told memoir." Henry A. Kissinger, Secretary of State, 1973 77 "Jim Holloway a gifted leader, dedicated patriot, and a genuine professional spent the bulk of his mature life in the service to the Republic and the Navy. In turn, his experience illustrates the trials and successes of naval aviation a drama in which he played a pivotal role. It is a must read for aspiring naval aviators and for those who want the feel and smell of air warfare based on a flattop. Adm. William J. Crowe, USN (Ret.), former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff "In Carriers at War, Jim Holloway has used his own experiences in the Cold War as a framework upon which to organize the events of those turbulent and threatening years to give us a unique perspective of a critical and still somewhat misunderstood period in current American history. He puts us in the cockpit of a jet fighter attacking Chinese troops in Korea; on the bridge of the U.S. Navy's first and then only nuclear carrier striking deep into North Vietnam; and ultimately inside the JCS 'Tank' in the Pentagon and the NSC Situation Room in the White House for an eyewitness account of a hands-on participant. This is a special book that should appeal as much to the general reader as to Admiral Holloway's fellow campaigners of the Cold War years." Lt. Gen. Brent Scowcroft, USAF (Ret.), former National Security Adviser to Presidents Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush Throughout the book, Holloway examines and discusses naval air power as an essential tool for American foreign policy and military operations during the Cold War. Moreover, he emphasizes the need to maintain strong and credible air power in our modern geopolitical environment. This is a valuable work for those who enjoy personal accounts of military action, as well as those who appreciate insights into foreign policy and military planning. Vietnam Magazine
Reseña del editor:
Admiral James L. Holloway III served in combat under direct enemy fire in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Commander of the first nuclear warship to engage in combat- the USS Enterprise - he became the first nuclear-trained officer to serve as Chief of Naval Operations. Holloway's remarkable career spanned the Cold War, rising through the ranks to four-star admiral - from carrier pilot to one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - and finally serving in positions of unique responsibility as a civilian Presidential appointee: Holloway served as investigator of the failed Iranian hostage rescue operation, executive director of the President's task force on combating terrorism, and as Vice Presidential special negotiating envoy to the Middle East. Aircraft Carriers at War is Holloway's personal account of the events of the Cold War that shaped the evolution of the modern aircraft carrier and the character of today's US Navy. Both a strategic study and a powerful memoir, it is an eminently readable account, packed with humor and inspiration that leaves the reader in awe of the man and the Navy he served. Holloway's recollections - from the cockpit and from the table of the National Security Council - are a testament to the heroic service of those who fought in the long war, and the national leadership that took us through this perilous period of America's history to defeat the Soviet Union while avoiding the Armageddon of a nuclear war.

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: New. Illustrated. Adm. James Holloway describes this book as a contemporary perspective of the events, decisions, and outcomes in the history of the Cold War-Korea, Vietnam, and the Soviet confrontation-that shaped today's U.S. Navy and its principal ships-of-the-line, the large-deck, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Without question, the admiral is exceptionally well qualified to write such an expansive history. As a carrier pilot in Korea, commander of the Seventh Fleet in Vietnam, Chief of Naval Operations in the mid-1970s, and then as a civilian presidential appointee to various investigative groups, Holloway was a prominent player in Cold War events.Here, he casts an experienced eye at the battles, tactics, and strategies that defined the period abroad and at home. Holloway's first-person narrative of combat action conveys the tense atmosphere of hostile fire and the urgency of command decisions. His descriptions of conversations with presidents in the White House and of meetings with the Joint Chiefs in the war room offer a revealing look at the decision-making process. Whether explaining the tactical formations of road-recce attacks or the demands of taking the Navy's first nuclear carrier into combat, Holloway provides telling details that add valuable dimensions to the big picture of the Cold War as a coherent conflict. Few readers will forget his comments about the sobering effect of planning for nuclear warfare and training and leading a squadron of pilots whose mission was to drop a nuclear bomb.Both wise and entertaining, this book helps readers understand the full significance of the aircraft carrier's contributions. At the same time, it stands as a testament to those who fought in the long war and to the leadership that guided the United States through a perilous period of history while avoiding the Armageddon of a nuclear war.
