Evans, former Naval Constructor, U.S.N.","description":"Holden A. Evans was a progressive naval officer who, as a naval constructor in the early twentieth century, unsuccessfully led a single-handed crusade to reduce wasteful practices and improve efficiency in U.S. Navy shipyards. He was the navy's foremost expert on scientific management and came close to achieving his goals before a conservative backlash led to his resignation. In the late 1930s, when war clouds threatened to engulf Europe in another major war and the United States began increasing its military preparedness, he turned his attention again to urging improvements to the navy's still wasteful and inefficient shipyards. His memoir, One Man's Fight for a Better Navy, chronicles his controversial navy career and offers a rare insider's look into an important and often overlooked facet of the U.S. Navy's history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence Martin Kaplan, Holden Allan Evans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1512208450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781512208450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.57d","brand":"Lawrence Martin Kaplan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068231184639,"sku":"9781512208450","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d3479f1-102c-4727-8276-4e732a5fbc0b.jpg?v=1685417801","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-mans-fight-for-a-lawrence-martin-kaplan-9781512208450","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
