Frank Knox served as Secretary of the Navy during some of the most
eventful years in U.S. naval history, his tenure coinciding with a
number of dramas such as the innovative 1940 bases-for-destroyers
initiative (which he conceptualized prior to entering the
administration), the undeclared naval war in the Atlantic against
Germany’s U-boats in 1941, the December 1941 attack on Pearl
Harbor, the subsequent naval war in the Pacific, and naval landings
in North Africa and Italy. Knox’s most important contribution to
the war effort was his leadership in building a 1,000-ship fleet,
without which the much-heralded landings and battles might never
have been possible. In this comprehensive biography, Christopher D.
O’Sullivan offers a portrait of the Roughrider in FDR’s
cabinet.
