I’m very pleased to announce that the U.S. Naval Institute has awarded me Author of the Year for 2018. It’s a great recognition of the value of Learning War and the work that went into it.

The award ceremony was 25 April. I was fortunate to be able to attend, accept the award in person, and express my gratitude. I have been reading books from the Naval Institute for years; it was wonderful to be recognized by an institution that has had such a profound influence upon me and upon the nation’s naval profession.
