The biography of Rear Admiral Lawrence Cleveland Chambers is an
amazing story of one of America's historic naval men who overcame
the prejudices of the segregated American South, who excelled and
integrated the prestigious U.S. Naval Acadmy, only to become the
first African American to command a navy carrier squadron, the
first to command an aircraft carrier, the first to serve as naval
aviator to attain the rank of Rear Admiral, and the first to
command a naval carrier group. It is a deeply personal and
revealing account of a remarkable journey of man whose career
paralleled the geopolitical conflict of the Cold War between the
United States and the communist bloc nations of China and the
Soviet Union, then served as the Captain of the USS Midway (CV-41)
during the evacuation of Saigon during Operation Frequent Wind, and
how the challenges of his youth and his compelling life story
enabled him to make the right leadership decisions for all of the
right reasons.
