Hyman G. Rickover was not long removed from his Jewish roots in Poland when he graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1922. After a respectable career spent mostly in unglamorous submarine and engineering billets, he took command of the US Navy's nuclear propulsion program and revived his career. Thomas B. Allen and Norman Polmar have written an essential treatment on the controversial genius of Admiral Rickover.
