Craig's exhaustively researched and highly readable biography of a
complicated and interesting man. . . . should be fascinating to the
general reader. In Craig's hands, the story of a very complex man
living in the tumult of war and depression becomes a clear and
intriguing page-turner.--John Lehman, Washington Post
Excellent. . . . Mr. Craig's judgments are fair, and his prose is
clear, vigorous and free of jargon.--Wall Street Journal
I am more than happy to recommend Craig's thought-provoking and
meticulously researched biography to all those interested in the
evolution of journalism, the growth of the U.S. Navy, the politics
of the 'New South, ' and the continuing influence of southerners in
the national Democratic Party throughout the Progressive
Era.--H-SHGAPE
Superb. . . . Craig's effort is the one that will stand as the
definitive account of Daniels' life. . . . A thoroughly researched
work that will satisfy scholars and is also a cracking good yarn
for the engaged reader.--Rob Christensen, Raleigh News and
Observer
The definitive biography.--Rocky Mount Telegram
There have been several biographies of Daniels. . . [but] none of
them do as thorough a job as Craig. . . . Provides a fascinating
glimpse into the mind and actions of a truly American newspaper
editor, progressive businessman, politician, and incontrovertibly
the most influential Secretary of the Navy in [the] 20th
century.--Daybook
