A new biography, Rickover: Underway, My Way, offers a rare and deeply personal portrait of Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, the architect of the U.S. Navy’s nuclear propulsion program, revealing not only his revolutionary leadership, but also the private character behind one of the most formidable figures in American military history.

Authored by Joann DiGennaro, who co-founded the Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) with Rickover, the book provides an unprecedented look into the life, leadership philosophy, and enduring legacy of a man who reshaped both naval power and educational excellence in the United States.
