Kelso Oral History Is Available
Over the past several years, former Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Frank B. Kelso II has participated unstintingly in the Naval Institute's Oral History Program. More recently dozens of supporters helped underwrite the labor-intensive process that took the project from raw audio-taped interviews to an annotated, indexed, and bound oral history volume. This in-depth discussion of the admiral's life and career is a true gem in the Institute's prestigious collection.
