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.
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
