Click For Summary
Action potentials (APs) propagate along neurons through two mechanisms: passive spread of depolarization and active propagation via voltage-gated channels. In small myelinated and large unmyelinated neurons, APs can spread passively due to the characteristics of their membranes. However, in large myelinated neurons, AP propagation relies on voltage-gated cation channels, which generate and actively spread action potentials. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for grasping how electrical signals travel along different types of neurons.

I am reading https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK21668/#_A6137_. It mentions that AP propagates along the length of the neuron due to the passive spread of depolarization, but it is only for small (thin, I presume?) myelinated neurons and large unmyelinated ones.
My question is how do APs propagate along large myelinated neurons?

I think you mis-understood what they were saying.
the section you linked to is saying first understand how we are explaining passive spread of a potential change, which you seem to understand.
The next section (Voltage-Gated Cation Channels Generate Action Potentials) explains how voltage gated channels make action potentials spread actively, which answers your question.
