Admiral Hyman Rickover, “Father of the Nuclear Navy” | Author Marc Wortman
In his fascinating new biography, "Admiral Hyman Rickover: Engineer of Power," historian, journalist and author Marc Wortman explores the enduring legacy of the man who became known as the “Father of the Nuclear Navy," Admiral Hyman Rickover.
Wortman joins B'nai B'rith CEO Dan Mariaschin to talk about the constant conflict Rickover faced and provoked, how his development of nuclear-propelled submarines and ships transformed naval power and Cold War strategy - and how a Jew born in a Polish shtetl became the longest-serving military officer in U.S. history.

Excellent synopsis on Rickover. Shows both depth and breadth on this subject.
"He got stuff done." There is no doubt that he had thick skin. Mr. Rickover knew the technology and handled the politics in a way that few could. To hear Jimmy Carter talk about Rickover is a testimony of how influential the man was. For those of us who served in the nuclear navy, it was a great foundation for a lifelong career, even after separation from the service. I appreciate this presentation as it covered Rickover the man. Personally, I was shocked at how he was treated by the navy. On the other hand, I was thankful that congress kept his career on track and funded the undertaking. Great video, and I expect to read the book soon. Thank You.
Great interview. Our country owes a great deal of gratitude to ADM Rickover.
I read two Rickover Biographies many years ago. The Little Polish Kid who grew up to become a man who would NOT BE DENIED!
This was a brilliant, truly inspirational interview! I loved it. Men like Admiral Rickover truly inspire me: perseverance, discipline, and dedication to purpose!
I have always admired Adm. Rickover when I was a teenager. I will be be 70 in December if the Lord lets me see it; I still am an ardent admirer of the Admiral!!!!!
GREAT interview. What an outstanding career! Now I really got to read this book.
This is a seriously underrated video. Almost certain it has been viewed and inspired other videos on the subject.
He was a SOB, and I probably wouldn't be a SOB without his Influence. Wouldn't have it any other way.
