Building on the scientific breakthroughs of the first atomic bomb project, Admiral Hyman Rickover created the world's first nuclear navy and built the world's first commercial atomic power station, both in a single decade. In the process he redefined the meaning of industrial quality control, one of the major problems of leadership and management in today's business world. Written by an insider who, for 15 years (from 1949 to 1964), worked alongside Rickover, this is an intimate account of a most remarkable and controversial figure.
