The Admiral's Secret Weapon
"Thomas Cochrane, the tenth earl of Dundonald, had a controversial naval career, both in the Royal Navy and overseas, but it is on his work as an inventor, and on one invention in particular, that this book concentrates. Charles Stephenson tells the incredible story of what was possibly his most ruthless and advanced creation: a scheme to generate massive amounts of poison gas, accompanied by saturation bombing and smoke screens. The earl had, in fact, invented chemical warfare; and, with his 'stink ships' and explosion vessels, he also worked out the technology required to deploy this terrible weapon." "Considered too revolutionary at the time, Cochrane's invention was kept under wraps, though it could have been deployed during the Crimean War had the conflict not ended when it did. During the First World War, however, certain documents detailing the plans disappeared. It was feared, by the then earl of Dundonald, that they had fallen into German hands, where the concept, modified and adapted, was employed in the use of chlorine gas at Ypres in 1915." "Charles Stephenson draws on previously unseen material from the Dundonald family archive in his account of the earl and his invention, and follows the story of the use of poison gas through to its place in modern warfare."--BOOK JACKET.

Public Service Exemplars

Understanding and encouraging the development of good leaders are so important that schools of business administration, public administration, public policy, and organizational development teach courses in leadership. Within the public administration literature, scholars have discussed the value of studying outstanding individuals who have been uniquely effective in fulfilling their formal duties, as well as ethical in leading their organizations. Public Service Exemplars is the first book to highlight the decision-making styles of American public servants who serve as models of excellence in public service. While the roles they held, eras in which they served, formal training for the job, personalities, and relative levels of fame differ widely, the figures profiled in this book are united in their strong belief in the efficacy of government service and a willingness to employ innovative methods for accomplishing objectives. Examining three theories of decision-making by effective leaders (autocratic leadership, democratic leadership, and delegative leadership), this book explores the way that unelected leaders working within public agencies—and, in a couple of cases, the US military—reached decisions that are widely considered to be highly effective. Profiling leaders as diverse as Robert Moses, Frances Perkins, James Webb, Colin Powell, and Anthony Fauci, to name a few, Public Service Exemplars questions whether great leadership truly is, as it is often assumed, an elusive, almost indefinable quality. Can it be taught? Are effective leaders born, made, or a combination thereof? This book will be of keen interest to both current and future public service leaders, including students enrolled in public administration and nonprofit management courses.
