BOOK REVIEW: The Ablest Navigator – Lieutenant Paul N. Shulman, USN, Israel’s Volunteer Admiral
By J. Wandres, Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD (2010).
Reviewed by Kempton Baldridge
It is a special treat to learn about a 20th century naval hero who has, until now been little more than a footnote in history. The name Paul Shulman might not ring any bells for many naval historians, but thanks to the well-researched biography by J. Wandres, The Ablest Navigator, the name should be an inspiration not just to young naval officers, but also to young Jews.
