Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1921. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. 22 cm. xi, [1], 472 pages, frontis illustration. Index. Boards worn. Corners bumped. Pencil erasure on front endpaper. Foreword by Rear-Admiral Bradley A. Fiske. This book is a record of official testimony given to Congress by navy officers under oath. It shows that the principal naval lesson of the war is the menace to the national honor and safety that was involved in committing the management of its navy to unworthy hands. The United States is entering upon a period of history in which the soundness of its institutions and the strength of its people will be subjected to crucial tests. The "war that was to end war" has thrown the world into confusion. A New World is emerging with new tendencies, new forces, new problems, all of which indicate all too clearly that, in the future as in the past, war will be the ultimate test of a nation.

He received his bachelor's degree from City College of New York in 1931 and a master's degree from Columbia University in New York City in 1932. After boarding a train at Pennsylvania Station to attend a Congressional hearing, Lash met First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, becoming lifelong friends. The White House press corps was stunned when she invited him and six other witnesses on the train to lunch, then made an appearance at Lash's hearing to lend moral support. After the hearing, she invited Lash and the others to a dinner at the White House. In 1950, Lash went to work for the New York Post. Lash began his career as a chronicler of the Roosevelt Administration in 1952, when he assisted Franklin D.

Annapolis? 1953. Photograph [unframed]. Matt outer measurement is approximately 13 inches by 11.5 inches. Inner measurement is approximately 10.25 inches by 7.25 inches. The black and white photograph is approximately 10.25 inches by 8 inches, taped all around to the back of the matt. Matt has minor soiling. The back of the photograph has "Von Zelewski & Admiral Leahy Fleet Admiral U.S.N. written in ink. The image has von Zelewski standing to the left, Fleet Admiral Leahy is in the center, and both are looking at a bust of Matthew C. Perry. Signed across the chest and shoulder of the white bust is "William D. Leahy, Fleet Admiral U.S. N. Carl Josef von Zelewski Apr. 1953." The photograph may have been taken at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The bust was the work of E. D. Palmer. Erastus Dow Palmer (April 2, 1817 – March 9, 1904) was an American sculptor. Palmer started by carving portraits in cameo, and earned the encouragement of Thomas R. Walker, a local art patron in Utica, who introduced him to prominent artists in New York City. By 1849, Palmer had transitioned from cameo-cutting to large-scale sculpture. He worked in a neoclassical style. Palmer mounted an exhibition of twelve of his sculptures, known as "the Palmer Marbles," at the National Academy of Design in 1856. His major works include The White Captive (1858) in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Peace in Bondage (1863), Angel at the Sepulchre (1865), in Albany, New York, a bronze statue of Chancellor Robert R. Livingston (1874), in Statuary Hall, Capitol, Washington, D.C., and many portrait busts. More
