Paul Stillwell, who served as the first-ever Editor-in-Chief of Naval History magazine in the 1970s and ’80s, has been named 2021’s Naval Institute Press Author of the Year for his book Battleship Commander: The Life of Vice Admiral Willis A. Lee Jr. Stillwell’s study, which was excerpted in the April 2022 issue of Naval History is the first biography of Vice Admiral Willis A. Lee Jr., who served a key role during World War II in the Pacific.

Stillwell is an independent historian and retired naval officer. In addition to being Naval History magazine’s inaugural editor, he worked as the U.S. Naval Institute’s oral historian. He is the author or editor of a dozen books, including four on battleships, including Battleship Arizona, and an award-winning volume on the Navy's first African-American officers, The Golden Thirteen.
