RADM Peter Booth Luncheon

RADM Peter Booth, author of "Humble in Victory", Speaks at Chapter May 2004 Luncheon

RADM Peter B. Booth visited the Chapter at the May luncheon and presented an overview of his book "Humble in Victory".

Peter said that his idea for the book came from a conceptualized year 2010 Iran/Iraq/Afghanistan conflict to capture and control the Caspian Sea oil reserves, some of the richest in the world. And, of course, it was the United States Navy to the rescue! Readers have called the book a "top-notch yarn", a "great read" with "great sea stories and action", with a "frighteningly plausible plot"!

After some great advice from the Naval Institute, and subsequent rewrites by Peter, he finally ended up self-publishing the book. He has sold about 2,500 copies to date. Based on the line of alumni that formed after his presentation to buy a signed copy, that number is a bit higher now.
