Few historians have looked beyond the Teapot Dome scandal and
examined the naval policies of President Warren Harding and his
secretary of navy, Edwin Denby. Both sponsored policies that
nourished the nation s industrial infrastructure. Their legacy
would yield a dividend of growth, production, employment, and
ultimately, national security. In this revised edition, Professor
Manley R. Irwin brings forth an innovative approach to researching
these policies, papers, and archives, adding additional research
from new documents which expand, enhance, and complement the first
edition. The book argues that Harding and Denby exercised unusual
foresight in preparing the navy for a war against Japan. Both
individuals promulgated structural changes in the department and
adopted a set of management tools that would redound to the navy in
its prosecution of its Pacific offensive in World War II. Irwin's
thorough investigation and addition of new evidence from original
documents provides invaluable details and insights into the lasting
legacy of the Harding administration.
