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
