1:10:08Now PlayingDr. Edward Marolda joined the NASOH Video/Podcast to discuss his new book, Admirals Under Fire: U.S. Naval Leaders and the Vietnam War." That work focuses on five US Navy Admirals - Don Felt, Ulysses Simpson Grant Sharp, Thomas Moorer, Elmo Zumwalt, and James Holloway. Dr. Marolda discussed their roles as they related to not just the execution of the Vietnam War, but also the political and social issues that were facing the Navy and the country in that time period.
He served as the Acting Director of Naval History and Senior Historian of the Navy. In 2017 the Naval Historical Foundation honored him with its Commodore Dudley W. Knox Naval History Lifetime Achievement Award. He has authored, coauthored, or edited nine works on the U.S. Navy's experience in Vietnam. In support of the U.S. Naval Institute's Oral History Program, he has interviewed Vietnam veterans and retired admirals Stanley R. Arthur and Joseph W. Prueher. At Georgetown University, Dr. Marolda has taught courses on the Cold War in the Far East and the Vietnam War. He holds degrees in history from Pennsylvania Military College (BA), Georgetown University (MA), and George Washington University (PhD).
