Navy Refuses to Remove ‘Anti-American’ Books From Reading List for Sailors
The U.S. Navy has said it will not remove certain books from its recommended reading list after Republican lawmakers raised concerns about their “anti-American” content.
On Feb. 23, the Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday released the latest version of the Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP), which provides a regularly updated list of recommended books as part of the Navy’s effort to help develop the professionalism of all sailors.
Most of the current 48 CNO-PRP titles cover topics relevant to the Navy’s mission of building a fighting force capable of winning wars, including leadership development, fleet tactics, history and geopolitics of the world’s maritime powers, and technologies of future naval warfare.
