About the book: 2003 / Admiral N. N. Amelko’s story about his life is a story about the life of the entire country over a fairly large period of time . The fate of a particular person is organically woven into the historical events in which our country participated in the 20th century. The author does not claim absolute objectivity in the assessments of those people he met in life and in his line of work. These are his personal impressions, but this is precisely why they are interesting for contemporaries and descendants.
