Arlington, VA: Admiral Zumwalt & Associates, Inc., 1976. Presumed first printing thus. Hardcover. xv, [1], 568 pages. Illustrations. Maps. Chronology. Appendices. Glossary. Index. Inscribed by the author. On Watch is one of two books written by U.S. Navy admiral Elmo Zumwalt. It is largely a critical appraisal of the military policies of the Richard Nixon presidency during the Cold War. Though billed as a memoir, Zumwalt spends the first three chapters dealing with his early life, which included his time at the U.S. Naval Academy, service during World War II, and his family. Most of the volume addresses the years 1970 to 1974, when Zumwalt served as United States Chief of Naval Operations. In it, Zumwalt critically appraises the military policies of the Richard Nixon presidency with regard to Soviet containment at the height of the Cold War. In addition to Nixon and Kissinger, Zumwalt takes aim at the then-elderly Admiral Hyman G. Rickover. Zumwalt charged: Rickover continually worked to ingratiate himself with members of the United States Congress as a means of consolidating personal political power; underhandedly challenged the authority of the Chief of Naval Operations; and would "stop at nothing" to ensure the primacy of nuclear programs over conventional armaments. Zumwalt used his memoir to criticize the Nixon administration, which he felt was too accommodating to the Soviet Union. Other sections of On Watch are spent on Zumwalt's glowing recollections of Paul Nitze, under whom he started working as an aide when Nitze was Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, as well as discussing the racial integration of the U.S. Navy, and the expanding role of women in military service.
