This biographical dictionary provides short biographies of more
than 500 individuals who have served as admiral, vice admiral, or
rear admiral in the world's naval forces. While naval officers from
the American, British, French, and Japanese navies make up the bulk
of the work, several biographies are included on admirals from 22
countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, the
Netherlands, Russia, and Spain. While the majority of entries are
fairly detailed, some are considerably shorter because of limited
naval records or lack of available information.The main criteria
for inclusion was that each person must have actively served in the
rank of at least rear admiral, although each individual did not
necessarily become involved in enemy action over the course of his
or her career. This effectively rules out people who were granted
the rank on retirement or as a courtesy title, or, as in the case
of several 'tombstone admirals', who were granted the title
posthumously. The book also includes a list of the admirals
organized by nationality, a timeline, and a general index.
