Fall from Glory; picked by Proceedings as a notable book of the year; is a shocking; no-holds-barred expose of the scandals; corruption; and avoidable deaths that have blackened the reputation of the U.S. Navy in recent years and continue to plague it. In a searing look at the cadre of autocratic; secretive admirals and the secretaries of the Navy who implicitly supported them; Vistica provides the details behind the succession of scandalous "incidents." In this newly updated paperback edition; Vistica explores the Navy's recent problems; most notably the suicide of the Chief of Naval Operations; Admiral Boorda. Fall from Glory reveals the tradition of command that has permitted corruption and a disregard for law and ethical behavior to thrive at every level.
