The Menace of the Navy
Detzer, Dorothy | June 1, 1932 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "The Navy: Defense or Portent?" by Charles A. Beard. A new book by Charles Beard is always an event, and "The Navy: Defense or Portent?" is such a timely, useful treatise that it should be required reading for all the ladies and gentlemen who function on Capitol Hill and all the ladies and gentlemen who send them there. In this brief volume of 200 pages, Beard, with his penetrating wit and skill, rips through the sacred aura that envelops the navy and leaves it shorn of its pretty uniform, no longer a glamorous service, a, little ridiculous, obtuse, and shoddy in values.
