Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Naval Lessons of the Great War: A Review of the Senate Naval Investigation of the Criticisms by Admiral Sims of the Policies and Methods of Josephus Daniels
This book is a record of official testimony given to Con gress by navy officers under oath.
It shows that the principal naval lesson of the war is the menace to the national honor and safety that was involved in committing the management of its navy to unworthy hands.
The Secretary of the Navy should be a man of the high est order Of ability, knowledge and foresight. This book shows that Secretary Daniels was so far below this standard that the Navy would have been caught wholly unprepared when we entered the war, and would have been ineffective dur ing the war, if certain navy officers had not sacrificed or endangered their positions, by putting through important measures, without his knowledge.
The Secretary of the Navy should be a man of the highest character. This book shows that Secretary Daniels, both in writing over his official signature, and in oral official testi mony before Congressional Committees, made many state ments about important naval matters within his cognizance.
