Battleship Commander explores Lee"s life from boyhood in Kentucky through his eventual service as commander of the fast battleships from 1942 to 1945. Said to be down to earth, modest, forgiving, friendly, and with a wry sense of humor, Lee eschewed the media and, to the extent possible, left administrative details to others.

A biography with feeling, color and details
Reviewed: 08-31-22
This vivid and thoroughly researched biography evokes the reality, hopes, accomplishments and disappointments of a man devoted to his Navy and his country. Through this, the author illustrates the life of a person who is a model of leadership. Adm Lee’s life makes entertaining listening for anyone interested in naval affairs. It would be particularly useful to anyone contemplating or Burgos naval career. Thanks for reading.
