ARIZONA MOON
A Novel of Vietnam
By J. M. Graham
In 1967, the infamous Arizona Territory of Vietnams An Hoa basin was a crucible that forged the souls of men. Through the booby-trapped trails of one of
the conflicts most hotly contested free-fire zones, thousands of Vietnamese and
Americans fought and died while others learned what it means to finally live.
Arizona Moon binds together the fates of three men who went to war to find
meaning, but found only Vietnam. Cpl. Raymond Strader is a Marine Corps
squad leader and designated platoon sniper who is counting down the days
before he can return to Pennsylvania. LCpl. Noche Gonshayee is an Apache
Indian feared by his fellow Marines and who sees any non-Apache as a potential
enemy. Truong Nghi is a North Vietnamese Army (NVA) student volunteer
caught up in patriotic fervor and is helping an NVA unit move munitions
south in anticipation of the Tet Offensive.
Blood is shed when Nghis NVA unit silently eliminates a listening post commanded by Gonshayee and disappears into the night. What the Marine platoon
finds in the morning doesnt look like an NVA action, but murder. The comatose
Gonshayee is the only suspect.
Fresh from the Arizona Territory, Corporal Strader has only two days and a
wakeup remaining of his time in country when bureaucratic expedience rips
him away from finalizing his departure paperwork and throws him back into
the line of fire. His assignment was supposed to be a simple escort mission to
bring a prisoner back to An Hoa. But when the NVA shoot down the helicopter
carrying Strader and Gonshayee, a deadly game of cat and mouse breaks out
across the face of the Ong Tu Mountains as the NVA desperately try to protect
their cargo and the Marines try to save their comrades.

Quang Nam Province, Vietnam
The Year of the Goat
The Arizona was scarred with trails that went in every direction, but to use them meant death. This was the most
heavily mined landscape in Vietnam, where the booby trappers and mine layers had free rein to ply their deadly
craft, some even raising it to a high art. Every bit of unexploded U.S. ordnance in the An Hoa basin found its way
into the Arizona, creatively transformed into some horrific surprise for the unwary, the careless, or the unlucky.
From Go Noi Island all the way south until the Song Tu Bon twisted around the Que Son Mountains, every step
taken was a gamble unless the boot print of the man ahead tested the spot, proving it was reliable. You only trusted
the ground you stood on. And even then, you werent completely sure. From Arizona Moon: A Novel of Vietnam

WINGS FOR THE FLEET
A Narrative of Naval Aviations Early Development,

19101916
By Rear Adm. George van Deurs, USN (Ret.)
Foreword by Capt. Frank Luckel, USN (Ret.)
The men who ventured into the air in the Navys first aircraft were not
only daringthey had vision, persistence, and a nearly unlimited determination to convince the skeptics that their frail kite-like machines
could someday possess military value. Wings for the Fleet is the story of
their trials, tragedies, and triumphs. These men patched cooling systems
with chewing gum, lived by crash, repair, and fly again, but succeeded
in developing this new capability into an effective arm of the fleet.
Wings for the Fleet, first published in 1966, covers the fascinating
details of those pioneering days from 1910 to the entry of the United
States into World War I. All of the heroic early birds are here with
full accounts of their exploits. Admiral van Deurs, a naval aviator
since the early 1920s, rendered a significant service by his careful
preparation of this well-balanced, thoroughly illustrated historical
chronicle. This book includes appendixes listing early naval aviators
and the planes they flew and more than one hundred photographs
selected from official and private sources.
REAR ADM. GEORGE VAN DEURS, USN (RET.) (19011984), was des-
ignated a naval aviator in 1924 and retired from the Navy in 1951.
His writings included more than thirty articles concerning the Navy,
aviation, and travel.

IN THE SHADOW OF THE AYATOLLAH

A CIA Hostage in Iran
By William J. Daugherty
Enthralling firsthand account . . . a concise yet comprehensive
discussion of events in American-Iranian relations leading up to
the seizure . . . . The Middle East Journal
Looming in the background of todays dealings with Iran are the
memories of 1979, when Islamic militants held U.S. diplomatic personnel hostage in the American Embassy in Tehran. In the Shadow
of the Ayatollah relates the crisis through the unique perspective of
Bill Daugherty, an officer for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
serving at the embassy. Once his CIA connection was discovered,
Daugherty became a special target of his captors and was subjected
to extraordinarily harsh treatment. He managed to survive the ordeal
by relying upon his Marine Corps training and combat experience
and was ultimately awarded the State Department Medal of Valor
and the CIA Exceptional Service Medal.
Drawing on intelligence information, declassified materials, interviews
with key government officials and his own knowledge, Daugherty
sheds light on this disturbing event. In his account, Daugherty reveals
the White House decision-making process in this crisis and how the
Soviet Union was involved.
WILLIAM J. DAUGHERTY served eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps
before joining the Central Intelligence Agency where he served as

an operations officer for seventeen years. Dr. Daugherty is Professor
Emeritus of Government at the University of California-Irvine. He
lives in Savannah, Georgia.

MONITORS OF THE
ROYAL NAVY
BRITISH WARSHIPS
& AUXILIARIES
By Jim Crossley
By Steve Bush
Monitor warships mounted the biggest

guns ever deployed by the Royal Navy, and
played a key role in Allied efforts during
World War I and World War II. Built as
cheap and disposable from ship scraps,
these vessels astonished allies and enemies
alike with their devastating ability to accurately reach targets up to ten miles or more
inland. This volume covers the origins of
monitors and their evolution from birth
as eighteenth century bomb ketches to the
heavily armored warships of World War II.
The design and construction of the various
classes of monitor are examined as well as
the warships effectiveness in comparison
with other classes of ships.
This revised and updated guide to the ships,

aircraft, and weapons of the Royal Navy is
now expanded to include Royal Marine
Craft and Border Agency vessels. The book
starts with a no-holds-barred review of
the current state of the Royal Navy followed
by sections detailing the fleets of the Royal
Navy, Royal Fleet Auxiliary, and the support vessels operated under contract. Also
included are the vessels of the Royal Marines,
Army, and the Border Force. Featuring color
imagery for each ship class, this volume offers
silhouettes, class listings, pennant numbers,
technical specifications, and brief notes. British Warships & Auxiliaries concludes with a
listing of ships preserved within the United
Kingdom and operating in a secondary role
after decommissioning.

HOLOCAUST HEROES
Resistance to Hitlers Final Solution

By Mark Felton
Holocaust Heroes is an inspiring book that examines the incredible
yet tragicexamples of Jewish resistance in ghettos and concentration
camps during the Nazis Final Solution. The Warsaw Uprising during
the spring of 1944 is the most infamous rebellion, but there were
other occasions of Jews and other prisoners fighting backoften
with stunning resultsagainst their murderers via the armed Jewish
resistance. Destroying gas chambers, efforts to take over camps, and
escaping en masse were just some of the brave methods attempted
to stop the machinery of the Holocaust throughout Poland and
the Ukraine. In virtually every case, the brave men and women who
rebelled against their captors paid dearly with their lives.
Holocaust Heroes recounts the stories of these individuals who fought
against victimization and acted with bravery and resourcefulness to
fight against their tragic fate. An important and original addition to
the bibliography of the Holocaust, these stories are uplifting, inspiring,
and profoundly moving.

STEEL AND ICE
The U-Boat Battle in the Arctic and Black Sea,

19411945
By Lawrence Paterson
As the land war raged along the Eastern Front between 1941 and 1945,
an equally fierce and unrelenting war ensued on the seas. From German
wolf pack attacks on Russian convoy traffic and military vessels to
close-quarter combat undertaken by small U-boats transported by
land and river to the Black Sea, the Kriegsmarine wrestled for control
of the seas fringing an embattled Soviet Union. Combined with the
fortitude of U-boat crews who fought in some of the harshest weather
conditions found at sea, ingenuity on behalf of German military
engineers also facilitated the transfer of U-boats from Germany to
Romania. From there, the Kriegsmarine engaged Soviet military might
and pioneered the use of submarine-based rocket firing technology
against land targets. The struggle between the Kriegsmarines U-boats
and the Red Navy lasted from the opening salvos of Operation Barbarossa to the final chaotic days of Germanys defeat.
Available in English for the first time, Steel and Ice is well illustrated,
containing never-before-published color and black and white photos.

WARSHIP CAMOUFLAGE OF WWII
ENDLESS STORY
By Malcolm Wright
Introduction by James Goldrick
Volume 3: Cruisers and Minelayers
During World War II navies developed low visibility, horizontal and

vertical surface camouflage for their ships. The camouflage served
to reduce the visibility of the ships by blending them in with the
sea. It also made the identity of the ship confusing by applying more
obtrusive patterns. In this the third volume on the subject by maritime
artist Malcolm Wright, both the official and unofficial paint schemes
that adorned the cruisers and minelayers of the Royal Navy and
Commonwealth are depicted in detail. Where possible both sides of
the ship are shown, and there are multiple images where armament or
equipment changes had a fundamental impact on a ships appearance.
With 800 full-color illustrations arranged by ship type rather than
camouflage scheme, this book concentrates the clearest possible information into a single volume to provide a one-stop reference source.
Historians, collectors, model makers, and war gamers will find this
unique reference source invaluable.
MALCOLM WRIGHT is an Australian maritime artist, internationally
known designer of war games, writer, and lecturer. He spent five

decades researching ships camouflage. He lives in Adelaide, Australia.

Destroyer Operations in the Great War

By Taffrail (Henry Taprell Dorling)
A classic of Great War naval literature published over eighty-five years
ago, Endless Story remains the only comprehensive account of the services of the Royal Navys small craft during World War I. A significant
portion of the book focuses on the most famous battles in the North
Sea and the English Channel, but the story also turns to the Gallipoli
campaign, warfare in the Mediterranean, actions in the Pacific, and
also pays tribute to the work of American destroyers in British waters
after 1917. Every kind of operation is covered, from U-boat hunting
and convoy escort to minelaying and the Zeebrugge Raid.
While the author did not personally take part in the actions he
describes, he knew the men who did and gleaned much of his information from personal contact with the sailors. As a result, the book
has both authenticity and authority. Eminently readable and written
with a novelists flair, Endless Story is sure to charm a new generation
of readers interested in World War I.
TAFFRAIL was the nom de plume of CAPTAIN HENRY TAPRELL DORLING,
a naval officer turned writer and journalist. He wrote many accounts

of the Great War at sea, popular novels, and served as a defense
correspondent for the Observer in London.

THE ROYAL NAVY OFFICERS JUTLAND

POCKET-MANUAL 1916
By W. M. James
Introduction by Brian Lavery

Published months before the Battle of Jutland, W. M. James book
was originally titled New Battleship Organisations. It was considered
the ultimate guide to every aspect of a modern capital ship of the
era. Now reissued as The Royal Navy Officers Jutland Pocket-Manual
1916, this reprint marks the centenary of the First World Wars most
famous and deadly naval encounter.
This small, but infinitely interesting manual provides a unique
and highly revealing insight into life aboard ship: the mechanics
of command and seamanship, the issuing of orders, and the broad
expectations placed upon British naval officers. Specific sections are
dedicated to the organization of watches; the division of work; naval
routine; parades; anchor and cable work; coaling; the organization of
chapel; on-board shops; cleaning; and even the ships barbers. A series
of detailed tables, diagrams, and humorous cartoons accompany the
lucid, period language of the First World War Senior Service. They
provide a further glimpse below decks that will appeal to social and
family historians as well as anyone with an interest in naval history.
In 1916, WILLIAM JAMES served as executive officer on HMS Queen
Mary and left the ship the day before she sailed to her destruction
at Jutland. James went on to become one of the major figures in
the twentieth-century Royal Navy before retiring to pen a series of
acclaimed works of naval history and strategy.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF VICTORY

A Biography of Admiral Thomas C. Hart
By James Leutze
Leutzes keen insights tell us the kind of man Hart was . . . . The
result is a vivid and compelling picture of a man and his times. It is
also a model of what a biography can and should be.Naval War
College Review
Recipient of the 1982 John Lyman Book Award for United States
Naval History, this biography of Admiral Thomas C. Hart unites
fifty-five significant years of American history with a man whose
central guiding force in life was the U.S. Navy. Based on Harts
twenty-one volume diary, A Different Kind of Victory investigates
the forces and circumstances that shaped Harts actions during a
memorable and influential career that spanned three wars and was
followed by brief service in the U.S. Senate.
From his early days as the superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy,
where he fought for academic reform, to his second career in elected
office, Hart could always be found amid controversy. In descriptive
detail, James Leutze relates Harts war experiences, both professional
and private, and examines his controversial relationships with other,
equally strong-minded naval leaders. Blunt, outspoken, aloof, and
occasionally referred to as Terrible Tommy, Admiral Hart was nevertheless respected and admired, an inspiration to his fellow officers.
JAMES LEUTZE is Chancellor Emeritus of the University of North
Carolina Wilmington. He was President of Hampden Sydney College, and at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill he was
named to the Dowd Chair in recognition of his award for teaching
and publication. He holds a PhD from Duke and served as a captain
in the U.S. Air Force.

Ships, Oil, and Foreign Policy

By Bernard D. Cole
In Bernard Coles most recent work, he examines Chinas national security

strategy by exploring the three major elementsforeign policy, energy security,
and naval powerthat interact and influence Chinas future and its relations
with the United States.
NEW PUBLICATIONS
Chinas Quest for Great Power
A decade and a half into the twenty-first century, Beijing requires reliable
access to energy resources, the navy to defend that access, and foreign policies
to navigate safely toward its goals. Most importantly, the Peoples Liberation
Army-Navy (PLAN) must be able to safeguard Chinas regional maritime
interests, especially the sovereignty disputes involving Taiwan and the Yellow,
East China, and South China Seas. Many Chinese naval officers and analysts
think the United States is determined to contain China and prevent it from
achieving the dominant historical position to which it is entitled. This view
has been strengthened by Washingtons shift to Asia, transfer of naval units to
the Pacific, and the March 2015 Maritime Strategy released by the U.S. Navy,
Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.
Chinas relationship with the United States is vital to both countries and to the
world. The relationship is based on both common and divergent interests in
economics, military operations, and political goals and methods. Chinas international trading economy and ambition for a world-class navy require effective
foreign diplomacy and participation in global affairs. This policy trifecta in
large part defines Chinas posture to the world. Beijing is approximately halfway

FIGHTERS OVER THE FLEET

By Norman Friedman
Fighters over the Fleet is an account of the parallel evolution of naval
fighters for fleet air defense and the ships they sought to defend. This
volume concentrates on the three main pioneers of carrier warfare:
the Royal Navy, the U.S. Navy, and the Imperial Japanese Navy.
Because radar was not invented until the mid-1930s, fleet air defense
was a primitive effort for flyers during the 1920s. Once the innovative system was developed and utilized, organized air defense
became viable. Thus major naval-air battles of World War IIsuch as
Midway, the Pedestal convoy, the Philippine Sea and Okinawaare
portrayed as tests of the new technology. However, even radar was
ultimately found wanting during the kamikaze onslaught, which led
to postwar moves toward computer control and new kinds of fighters.
After 1945, the novel threats of nuclear weapons and stand-off missiles compounded the difficulties of naval air defense. The second half
of Fighters over the Fleet covers the U.S. and Royal Navies attempts to
resolve these problems by examining the U.S. experience in Vietnam
and British operations during the Falklands War. The book then turns
to the U.S. development of techniques and technology to fight the
Outer Air Battle in the 1980s before concluding with the current
state of technology-supported carrier fighters.
NORMAN FRIEDMAN is one of Americas best-known naval analysts
and historians, the author of more than forty books, and a regular
commentator on television and in the press.
CASSANDRA IN OZ
Counterinsurgency and Future War

By Conrad C. Crane
When Conrad Crane retired from active duty to become a research
professor, he never expected to become a modern Cassandra, fated
to tell truth to power without being heeded. After the world transformed on 9/11, he warned the Army that it was not prepared to
execute stability operations, counterinsurgency, and the eventual
reconstruction of Iraq.
Cranes work attracted the attention of Generals David Petraeus and
James Mattis, and he soon found himself in charge of a team tasked
with creating the groundbreaking Field Manual 3-24/Marine Corps
Warfighting Publication 3-33.5 Counterinsurgency, the very counterinsurgency doctrine he had pleaded for. A unique blend of traditional and modern theory, this manual would prove to be essential
to the success of the Surge in Iraq that changed the course of the war.
Cranes account of the creation and implementation of the manual
addresses its many criticisms, details what went wrong in Iraq,
and explains how the new doctrine was never properly applied in
Afghanistan. From the debates over the content to the ways it was
used in the field, Cassandra in Oz covers lessons that should be
gleaned from years of global war and displays the American military
as a learning organization at its best.
CONRAD C. CRANE is a retired Army officer and historian. He has taught
at West Point and the Army War College and has been awarded the
Samuel Eliot Morison Prize by the Society for Military History for
lifetime contributions to military history.

MR. ROOSEVELT'S NAVY
The Private War of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, 19391942

By Patrick Abbazia
The U.S. Navy was at war in the Atlantic long before 7 December
1941, but little is known about that conflict. Mr. Roosevelts Navy is
a vivid, thoroughly researched account of this undeclared war upon
which Franklin Roosevelt embarked in order to sway the desperate
Battle of the Atlantic in favor of Britains hard-pressed Royal Navy.
Not only is this book a history of the U.S. Navys Atlantic Fleet and its
impact on strategy and diplomacy prior to and immediately following
American entry into World War II, but it is also a lively account of
the muted battles and endless patrols that were the pattern of life for
American sailors in the cold, gray Atlantic. First published in 1975,
the book is now available in paperback.

DAZZLE
21st CENTURY PATTON
By James Taylor
Edited by J. Furman Daniel III
While it is a constant throughout history that conflict has inspired

and engendered great art, it is a much rarer event for art to impact
directly upon the vicissitudes of war. Yet, in the course of World War I,
a collision of naval strategy and the nascent modern art movement led
to some two thousand British ships going to sea as the largest painted
modernist canvases in the world. They were covered in abstract, clashing, decorative, and geometric designs in a myriad of colors. Dazzle
camouflage had arrived.
While Gen. George S. Patton Jr. remains an iconic figure seventy

years after his death, few fully appreciate him as a strategic thinker.
Indeed, his flamboyant personality often obscures the fact that he
was a lifelong student of the military arts, a true strategic visionary, and a unique figure in American military history. This short
volume introduces readers to a more complete and nuanced Patton.
By tracing his intellectual development and connecting his views on
strategic thought and history to the issues of the present day, this
book offers a bold, fresh view on the famous general.
Disguise and Disruption in War and Art
Heavily inspired by the Cubism and British Vorticism art movements,

dazzle was conceived and developed by celebrated artist and then
naval commander Norman Wilkinson. Dazzle camouflage rejects
concealment in favor of disruption. It seeks to break up a ships silhouette with brightly contrasting geometric designs to make a vessels
speed and direction incredibly difficult to discern. False painted
bow-waves and sterns were used to confuse and throw off the deadly
U-boat captains. The high contrast shapes and colors further made it
very difficult to match up a ship in the two halves of an optical naval
rangefinder. This new book traces the development of the dazzle
aesthetic from theory into practice and beyond.
JAMES TAYLOR is a former curator of paintings at the National Mar-

Strategic Insights for the Modern Era
Linking Pattons success as a warfighter to his efforts as a thinker, the

editor hopes to kindle debate on managing human capital within

lifetime of formal and self-directed study of the military arts.

RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP

By Edward L. Beach
Introduction by Edward P. Stafford

This is quite simply THE American submarine novel of WWII . . . written
by a man who made eleven Pacific patrols, in the course of which he rose from
watch officer through navigator and XO to captain, winning the Navy Cross
in the process. The background of this extensive personal experience permitted
him to invest his novel with absolute technical accuracy and verisimilitude.
Edward P. Stafford, author of The Big E: The Story of the USS Enterprise
Universally praised for its powerfully authentic depiction of submarine warfare,
Run Silent, Run Deep was an immediate success when published in 1955 and
shot to the top of best-seller lists nationwide. In 1958, Hollywood adapted
the novel for the big screen starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. The New
York Times said of the novel, If ever a book had a ring of reality, this is it . . .
combat passages rank with the most exciting written about any branch of the
service. The Saturday Review called the book a classic, and many reviewers
compared its author to such greats as C. S. Forester and Erich Maria Remarque.
Today these accolades still ring true for Edward L. Beachs gripping first novel
of American submariners confronting a formidable Japanese navy in a vicious
battle to control the Pacific. Beachs taut and dramatic narrative, told with the
intimacy of a confession, deals with two strong-willed men, Edward Richardson,
the commander of the USS Walrus, and his executive officer, Jim Bledsoe.
Bound together by wartime duty, the two are divided by jealousy, pride, and
love for a beautiful woman. But long after the details of this famous novel fade
from memory, what remains with us is a startling realization of the way it was,
really was, in the silent service during World War II.

Hardcover
ISBN: 978-0-87021-557-5 | $29.95
Unlike many war novels, here is a story that deals with war from the perspective
of command. With fidelity, Beach creates the anguish, agony, and triumphs
of command decisions. Commander Richardson embodies all that is fine and human in an excellent naval officer. This is a monument, not to the
misfits and the mistakes, but to those men who rose to greatness under the sometimes unbearable tensions of combat.
EDWARD L. BEACH (19182002) graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy in 1939 and became a decorated submariner and best-selling author.

Paperback | ISBN: 978-1-59114-056-6 | $21.95
Deep in the sea there is no motion, no sound, save that put there by the insane humors of man. The slow, smooth
stirring of the deep ocean currents, the high-frequency snapping or popping of ocean life, even the occasional
snort or burble of a porpoise are all in low key, subdued, responsive to the primordial quietness of the deep. Of
life there is, of course, plenty, and of death too, for neither is strange to the ocean. But even life and death, though
violent, make little or no noise in the deep sea. From Run Silent, Run Deep

BRITISH WARSHIP RECOGNITION:

THE PERKINS IDENTIFICATION ALBUMS
Volume I: Capital Ships 18951939
By Richard Perkins
Introduction by Andrew Choong

In the inter-war years Richard Perkins, an amateur photographer and
avid collector, amassed one of the worlds largest personal collections
of warship negatives. He eventually donated the collection to the
National Maritime Museum, where it still forms the core of the historic
photos naval section. While he was actively acquiring photos, Perkins
found that many were neither identified nor accurately dated, so he
began to compile an album of his own drawings, which incorporated
as much detail as possible on individual ships that could be amended
as he discovered more information. This project grew into an enormous resource covering virtually every Royal Navy ship from 1860
to 1939, when security restrictions forced Perkins to stop work. This
project material was also donated to the National Maritime Museum,
where it was bound into eight large folio volumes that became a key
reference for the curators of historic photos, but unknown and almost
inaccessible to the interested public. As a result, the actual publication
of the volumes is an event of utmost importance for every enthusiast
and ship modeler.
These albums will be important to every enthusiast and ship modeler,
who will now be able to own a copy of this unique and invaluable
reference work for the very first time.

THE PERKINS IDENTIFICATION ALBUMS
Volume II: Armoured Ships 18601895, Monitors and
Aviation Ships
By Richard Perkins
Introduction by Andrew Choong

The Richard Perkins warship identification albums form one of the
most detailed studies of the changes to the appearance of Royal Navy
ships ever undertaken. Because this unique, hand-drawn manuscript
artifact is in the care of the National Maritime Museum, it has rarely
been seen by anyone besides the museums curators, who use the
albums on a daily basis and regard them as a precious resource.
This monumental work, in collaboration with the Museum, is a
superbly produced multi-volume edition that captures all the qualities of the original. Every page is reproduced at full-size, making
the extensive hand-written annotation readable, while the fine-line
drawings retain all the colors that Perkins used to denote appearance
differences and alterations.
Following the Museums binding arrangement, this second volume of
the series covers armored ships from Warrior to the Royal Sovereigns
(all later capital ships from the Majestic class onwards can be found in
Volume I), as well as monitors, seaplane, and aircraft carriers.
RICHARD PERKINS was a leading light in the Naval Photograph Club, where he became the acknowledged expert on identifying and dating warship
photos. What he called his Historical Identification Book was originally intended only to help with this work, but its wider significance is highlighted in this edition by ANDREW CHOONG, Curator of Historic Photos for the National Maritime Museum.

SCALES ON WAR
THAT HAMILTON WOMAN
By Maj. Gen. Bob Scales, USA (Ret.)
By Barry Gough
The Future of Americas Military at Risk

Scales on War is a collection of ideas, concepts, and observations about
contemporary war taken from more than thirty years of research,
writing, and personal experience by retired Major General Bob Scales.
Scales unique style of writing utilizes contemporary military history,
current events, and his philosophy of ground warfare to create a very
personal and expansive view of the future direction of American
defense policies.
Each chapter in the book addresses a distinct topic facing Americas
military, including tactical ground warfare, future gazing, the draft, and
the role of women in the infantry. Fusing all of these issues together
is Scales belief that, throughout its history, the United States has
favored a technological approach to fighting its wars and has neglected
its people.
Scales on War shows that, as a result of Americas focus on winning
wars with technology rather than people, Americas enemies have
learned how to win battles by defeating such technology. As a wellknown warfare expert, Scales demonstrates how only a resurgent
land force of Army and Marine small units will restore Americas
fighting competence.
MAJ. GEN. BOB SCALES, USA (RET.), is one of Americas most respected
authorities on land power. He commanded two units in Vietnam

and is the recipient of the Silver Star for action during the Battle of
Hamburger Hill. He commanded units in Korea and the United States
and completed his service as commandant of the Army War College.

Emma and Nelson
Introduction by Andrew Roberts

Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson, Englands greatest sailor, fell deeply
in love with Emma Hamilton in the years before Trafalgar. This,
together with his quest for glory and victory, entangled him in an
inescapable web of circumstances and slander. Barry Gough explores
the evolving scandal, the high political stakes that were involved, and
the love affair itself which so influenced the fortunes of Englands
glory and the fate of her Wooden Walls.
Emma, much maligned by her contemporaries and later by historians
and commentators, rose from the most humble beginnings to play
a startling role in Britains naval victory over France and Spain in
1805. Here, Gough defends Emma by drawing on the letters between
the protagonists and the unpublished examination of her career by
Arthur Marder, famed American historian of the Royal Navy. Gough
shows how this most talented and beautiful of women fell victim to
innuendo, slander, and cruel caricature. She was to die in poverty in
Calais in 1815, just months before Napoleons final defeat.
Richly illustrated throughout, That Hamilton Woman shows Emma
in all her glory, likely the most painted woman of her age. Depicting
Emma sympathetically as a woman trapped in circumstances of her
own making, Gough places Emma Hamilton as one of the forces that
gave the Royal Navy its will to fight and conquer.
BARRY GOUGH is an expert on the maritime history of the Pacific
Ocean. He has published widely on Anglo-Canadian naval subjects

and is the author of the dual biography, Historical Dreadnoughts:

RUNNING A BIG SHIP
The Classic Guide to Commanding a Second

World War Battleship
By Captain Rory OConor, RN
Introduction by Brian Lavery
First published in 1937 and now recognized as one of the most

influential, yet highly accessible, volumes on naval command and
organization, Running a Big Ship provides a truly unique insight into
life at sea during World War II. This new edition includes an extensive
introduction by Brian Lavery, one of the foremost historians of the
Royal Navy.
Having completed the highly prestigious commission of commanding HMS Hood in her halcyon prewar years, Capt. Rory OConor
wrote the ultimate officers guide for running a steel fighting ship.
OConor famously began the book with his ten commandments,
a concise code of orders that comprised a little that everyone must
know so that every man knew what was required of him, while
each was equally entitled to the understanding and consideration
of his officers. Credited with making a significant contribution to
the wartime navys esprit de corps, the book had a lasting impact on
shipboard understanding and relations on vessels large and small, as
young, diverse crews withstood the considerable strain of actual war.
RORY OCONOR was the youngest captain on the Navy List when he
became commander of HMS Hood in 1933. He was lost in command

of the cruiser Neptune in a minefield off Tripoli in December 1941.
RIVER GUNBOATS
An Illustrated Encyclopedia
By Roger Branfill-Cook
The first recorded engagement by a steam-powered warship took
place in 1824 when the Honourable East India Companys gunboat
Diana moved into action on the Irrawaddy River in Burma. In the
150 years that followed, river gunboats played a significant part in
over forty campaigns and individual actions. These vessels proved to
be the decisive factor in river campaigns of the American Civil War;
in the French conquest of Indochina; during Kitcheners advance on
Khartoum; and on the Rufiji and Tigris during the Great War. River
gunboats fought for the Paris Commune; on the rivers of South
America; against the Bolsheviks; and during World War II in the open
waters of the Mediterranean; the Portuguese and American Brown
Water fighting in Africa and Vietnam, respectively, and rounded
out the end of the twentieth century.
This lavishly illustrated encyclopedia describes vessels of every nation
designed as river gunboats plus those converted river steamers which
took part in combat. Maps of the river systems where they operated
are included as are narratives of the principal actions involving river
gunboats. Their story is brought up-to-date with data on current
riverine combat vessels in service today.
ROGER BRANFILL-COOK is a qualified battlefield guide, a professional
translator of books from French to English, and a writer on military
subjects.
BRIAN LAVERY is one of Britains leading naval historians and a prolific
author. His most recent book is The Last Big Gun.

ON WAR AND POLITICS
The Battlefield Inside Washingtons Beltway

By Arnold L. Punaro with David Poyer
Foreward by Senator John Warner
After being wounded and awarded the Bronze Star for valor as a
Marine infantry platoon commander in Vietnam, Arnold Punaro
thought he had left the battlefield. Instead, he redeployed onto the
battlefield of Washington politics.
For almost fifty years, hes toiled at the intersection of the political and
defense establishments, working with such luminaries as Sam Nunn,
John Glenn, John McCain, Colin Powell, Robert Gates, Ash Carter,
and many others. Today Democrats, Republicans, and career public
officials agree on one thing: few individuals possess the military experience, governmental expertise, and personal integrity of Arnold Punaro.
Partnered with best-selling writer David Poyer, Punaro offers revelations about the most contentious issues of the past and sage advice
for the future. From his military service, to his role formulating and
overseeing all major defense and intelligence legislation, Punaro reveals
how decisions are really made inside the Beltway, providing insights
into the actions of presidents since Jimmy Carter and Secretaries of
Defense back to James Schlesinger. Unsparing in his criticisms of both
parties, Punaro presents radical proposals for much-needed reform to
save the country for which so many have given their lives.
MajGen ARNOLD L. PUNARO, USMCR (RET.), served thirty-five years in
uniform, both active and reserve. He spent twenty-four years in the

U.S. Senate, becoming staff director of the Senate Armed Services
Committee. Currently CEO of a small business, he was a top industry
executive and continues to serve on numerous boards and commissions
on national security.

THE OFFICIAL CHRONOLOGY OF THE

U.S. NAVY IN WORLD WAR II
By Robert J. Cressman
The U.S. Navy finally has an accurate and comprehensive accounting of its wartime accomplishments. The Official Chronology of
the U.S. Navy in World War II is a superb piece of work. Jeffrey
G. Barlow, author of Revolt of the Admirals: The Fight for Naval
Aviation
Ten years after the close of World War II, the U.S. Navy published a
chronology of its operations in the war. Long out of print, the work
focused on what were then defined as critical and decisive events. It
ignored a multitude of combat actions as well as the loss or damage of
many types of U.S. ships and craftparticularly auxiliaries, amphibious ships, and district craftand entirely omitted the U.S. submarine campaign against Japanese shipping, This greatly expanded and
updated study, now available in paperback with an index, goes far
beyond the original work, drawing on information from more than
forty additional years of historical research and writing. Massive, but
well organized, it addresses operational aspects of the U.S. Navys war
in every theater.

CONGRESS BUYS A NAVY
Politics, Economics, and the Rise of American Naval

Power, 18811921
By Paul E. Pedisich
Congress Buys a Navy offers a new look at the nexus of U.S. politics,
economics, and the funding and creation of what is thought of as
the modern U.S. Navy. Filling in significant gaps in prior economic
histories of the era, Paul Pedisich analyzes the role played by nine
presidencies and cabinets, sixteen Navy secretaries, and countless
U.S. congressmen whose work and actions shaped and funded our
forces at sea.
Surveying the development of the new steel Navy from 1881 to
1921, Pedisichs narrative begins with James Garfields appointment
of William Hunt as Secretary of the Navy and the formation of the
forty-seventh Congress in March 1881, and continues on to the
reduction of the naval forces by the Washington Naval Treaty of 1921.
While the main acts in U.S. political history often privilege the actions
of the President and his cabinet, Pedisich brings to light the individual
rationales, voting blocs, agendas, and political intrigue that drove this
process of making a modern Navy.

VICTORY WITHOUT PEACE
The United States Navy in European Waters, 19191924

By William N. Still Jr.
Victory Without Peace concentrates on the U.S. Navy in European and
Near Eastern waters during the post-World War I era. As participants
in the Versailles peace negotiations, the Navy was charged with executing the naval terms of the Armistice as well as preserving stability
and peace. U.S. warships were deploying into the Near East, Baltic,
Adriatic, and Northern Europe, while simultaneously withdrawing its
demobilized forces from European waters. This signifies the first time
the U.S. Navy contributed to peacetime efforts, setting a precedent
continues today.
Congressional appropriations handicapped this deployment by demobilization, general naval policy and postwar personnel, and operating
funds reductions. Though reluctant to allocate postwar assets into
seemingly unimportant European and Near Eastern waters, the Navy
was pressured by the State Department and the American Relief
Administrations leader, Herbert Hoover, to deploy necessary forces.
Most of these were withdrawn by 1924 and the European Station
assumed the traditional policy of showing the flag.
WILLIAM N. STILL JR. served in the U.S Navy and was director of the
University and held the Admiral Stephen B. Luce Chair of Naval

Strategy at the U.S. Naval War College. His interest as a historian is
on the undeveloped economic history of U.S. Navy expansion.

WINGS OF VALOR
Honoring Americas Fighter Aces

By Nick Del Calzo and Peter Collier
A heros action is always extraordinary because it is so contrary to the basic
human instincts of self-preservation and survival. For the fighter ace, it is often
kill or be killed. The men whose stories are told in Wings of Valor reflect the
courage and determination it takes to get no less than five kills in aerial
combat and return from each mission alive. They distinguished themselves as
Navy, Marine, U.S. Army Air Corps, and Air Force pilots who had the courage
to pursue their enemy with aggression, agility, and precision. To fly in combat
is extremely dangerous. All fighter pilots, regardless of their personal victory
tallies, are deserving of great respect and credit for what they endure.
It is difficult to pinpoint the exact qualities that separate a good fighter pilot
from a great fighter pilot. However, they consist of an indomitable inner spirit,
a fierce determination to survive and succeed, and a measure of opportunity
and luck added to the mix. Wings of Valor immortalizes eighty-two men for
their bravery during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Their images and
stories, collected on these pages, are as diverse as America itself. Today, these
men assert that they are proud Americans who are caretakers of freedom. They
have been to the edge and have lived to tell their story.
At one time there were over 1,400 fighter aces. Because of the changing technology of combat and the shifting nature of war itself, these men of Wings
of Valor are considered the last of the traditional aces. This book honors the
content of their character via formal photographs of these valiant men, the
last of their breed.

THE WARSHIP MODELS OF

NORMAN OUGH
SEAFORTH WORLD NAVAL

REVIEW 2017
By Alistair Roach
Edited by Conrad Waters
Foreword by Philip Read

Norman Ough is considered by many as the greatest ship modeler
of the twentieth century. His exquisite drawings and meticulous
models have come to be regarded as masterpieces of draftsmanship,
workmanship and realism; more than technically accomplished ship
models, they are truly works of art.
This new book is both a tribute to Oughs lonely genius and a practical
treatise for model shipwrights. Ough lived most of his adult life far
from the sea in an apartment in London, where his frugal existence
and total absorption in his work led to hospitalization on at least two
occasions. He was an eccentric in the truest sense but he also became
one of the most sought-after masters of his craft. Earl Mountbatten had
him model the ships he had served on and film production companies
commissioned models for effects in several films.
Incorporating many of his original articles from Model Maker Magazine, his detailed line drawings of ships now held by the Brunel
Institute, and photographs of his models displayed in museums and
at Mountbattens home in Hampshire, this book presents an extraordinary level of practical information as well as an inspiring panorama
of perhaps the most perfect warship models ever made.
This edition includes an in-depth analysis of the Royal Netherlands

Navy, while the section on Significant Ships will cover the U.S.
Navys radical new Zumwalt-class destroyers, the Republic of Koreas
amphibious assault ship Dokdo, and the JMSDFs Akizuki-class
destroyers, among others. There are technological reviews on naval
aviation by historian David Hobbs (with a focus on the present state
of the Royal Navys Fleet Air Arm), while naval analyst Norman
Friedman surveys naval surface-to-surface missiles.
The Seaforth World Naval Review features specially commissioned
drawings and the most up-to-date photographs and artists impressions.

THE DUST OF KANDAHAR
ELEVEN MONTHS TO FREEDOM
By Jonathan S. Addleton
By Dwight R. Messimer
Some of the most important work in Afghanistan was done quietly

behind the scenes by civilians striving to create a functioning nation
that could withstand Taliban assaults. Jonathan Addleton was one
of those civilians on the front lines. His journals provide an intimate,
important, and illuminating window into the challenges of nation
building, the cost of war, and the experience of civilians in the midst
of military conflict. Max Boot, Council on Foreign Relations,
and author of Invisible Armies
Eleven Months to Freedom recounts the daring World War I escape

of German midshipman Erich Killinger. Falsely accused of bombing a railway station after crashing his plane at sea, he was sentenced
to life in the Sakhalin coal mines.
A Diplomat Among Warriors in Afghanistan
A profound work of intense humanity . . . very compelling. Carter

Malkasian, Former Senior Advisor to ISAF, and author of War
Comes to Garmser
The Dust of Kandahar provides a personal account of one diplomats
year of service in Americas longest war. Ambassador Addleton movingly describes the everyday human drama of the American soldiers,
local tribal dignitaries, government officials, and religious leaders he
interacted and worked with in southern Afghanistan.
Addletons writing is at its most vivid in his firsthand account of
the April 2013 suicide bombing outside a Zabul school that killed
his translator, a fellow Foreign Service officer, and three American
soldiers. The memory of this tragedy lingers over Addletons journal
entries, his prose offering poignant glimpses into the interior life of
a U.S. diplomat stationed in harms way.
A German POWs Unlikely Escape from Siberia in 1915
Shipped by rail with several other POWs across Russia, Killinger was
determined to return home. In order to do this, though, he needed
to jump from the train, cross Siberia, and make it to a German-run
escape pipeline in Chinaall while braving bandits, subzero temperatures, threats of starvation, the risk of capture by Japanese and
Russian troops, and possible internment by the Chinese. Once he
made it to China, Killinger used money and fake identity papers to
survive along the eight hundred miles to Shanghai.
Improbably playing the role of a dashing French blade, Killinger
lived the high life on one ship, then later served as a humble deckhand on another. Risking discovery by the British, he made a bold
and risky move as his final destination neared.

NAVAL POLICY BETWEEN THE WARS
NAVAL POLICY BETWEEN THE WARS
By Stephen Roskill
By Stephen Roskill
The Period of Anglo-American Antagonism 19191929

Foreword by Correlli Barnett
The Period of Reluctant Rearmament 19301939
First published in 1968 and 1976, the two volumes of this work still constitute the only authoritative study of the broad geo-political, economic
and strategic factors behind the inter-war development of the Royal Navy and, to a great extent, that of its principal rival, the United States
Navy. Stephen Roskill conceived Naval Policy Between the Wars as a peacetime equivalent of the official naval histories, filling the gap between
the World War I volumes and his own study of the Navy in World War II. As such, it is marked by the extensive use of British and American
sources, from which Roskill extracted shrewd and balanced conclusions that have stood the test of time.
The main themes of the first volume are: the aftereffects of the Armistice; the struggle to prevent a renewed naval arms race, despite the
challenge from the United States and Japan, which culminated in the
Washington Naval Treaty; and the broader attempts at peacekeeping
through diplomacy and the fragile vehicle of the League of Nations.
On a technical level, the primacy of big-gun battleships was increasingly challenged by air power, and the Royal Navy fought an internal
battle with the Royal Air Force to obtain sufficient aviation assets
for the fleet. Although the 1920s is largely ignored in naval history,
this volume demonstrates that the period is key to understanding the
development of the Royal fleet that fought World War II.
Picking up the story in 1930, this volume covers the rise of the European dictatorships alongside continuing attempts at controlling arms
expenditure through diplomacy and treaties. Eventually, Italian,
German, and indeed Japanese aggression diminished the prospects
for peace, to the point where Britain felt forced to re-arm. The Navys
use of the precious few years leading up to the outbreak of war is a
crucial section of the book and forms a fitting conclusion to this
important study of the inter-war years.
CAPT. STEPHEN ROSKILL, RN was a naval officer turned historian who was commissioned to write the official British naval history of the Second World
War. He went on to produce many other important works, including a biography of Beatty and a study of Churchill and his admirals.

ARMOURED TRAINS
An Illustrated Encyclopedia 18262016

By Paul Malmassari
Completely revised and expanded since its French publication, Armoured
Trains: An Illustrated Encyclopedia 18262016 is the first English-language edition of the authoritative work on the subject.
Military forces around the world were quick to see the advantages of
railways in warfare, whether for the rapid deployment of men or the
movement of heavy equipment such as artillery. From this realization,
it was a short step to making the train a potent weapon in its own
righta mobile fort or a battleship on rails. Armed and armored, they
became the first practical self-propelled war machines. As demonstrated
in the American Civil War, these trains were able to make a significant
contribution to battlefield success.
Thereafter, almost every belligerent nation with a railway system made
some use of armored rolling stock, ranging from low-intensity colonial
policing to the massive employment of armored trains during the Russian
Civil War. Although they were somewhat eclipsed as frontline weapons
by the development of the tank and other armored fighting vehicles,
armored trains retained a role as late as the civil wars in the former
republic of Yugoslavia.
This truly encyclopedic book covers, country by country, the range
of fighting equipment that rode the rails over nearly two centuries.
While this work outlines the place of armored trains in the evolution
of warfare, it concentrates on details of their design through a vast array
of photographs and the authors meticulous drawings.

NAVIES IN THE 21st CENTURY

Edited by Conrad Waters
What is the purpose of navies in the modern world, and what types
of warship does this require? This volume tackles these questions by
looking at naval developments, both technological and operational,
in the quarter century since the end of the Cold War. It provides
the overall political and economic context; assesses significant naval
operations from the first Gulf War to Russias annexation of Crimea;
reviews changes in the objectives and composition of the principal
fleets; describes major design developments among the main warship
types; and examines wider technological and operational developments, including naval aviation, shipbuilding, and manning.
Navies in the 21st Century follows the successful approach and format
of Seaforths annual World Naval Review, with individual sections by
internationally acknowledged experts and many illustrations. As a
succinct, single-volume overview of how contemporary navies have
evolved to meet todays challenges it is unrivalled, and will prove
invaluable to defense professionals and interested enthusiasts alike.
CONRAD WATERS, a barrister by training and a banker by profession, has
had a lifelong interest in modern navies about which he has written

many articles. The founding editor of the World Naval Review for
a number of years, he also compiled the annual review of navies for
the journal Warship.

EL DORADO CANYON
Reagan's Undeclared War with Qaddafi

By Joseph T. Stanik
Long before the overt war in Afghanistan and the covert war against
al Qaeda, U.S. forces struck at one of the worlds hotbeds of terrorism.
On 15 April 1986, in the dead of night, American aircraft roared into
the heart of Muammar Qaddafi's Libya, attacking carefully selected
targets and nearly killing the brother leader himself. Code-named
Operation El Dorado Canyon, the raid was in direct response to
Qaddafi's support of a terrorist act against U.S. service personnel
stationed in Europe and was a result of President Ronald Reagan's
pledge to respond to terrorism with swift and effective retribution.
Stanik, a retired naval officer and Middle East scholar, provides an
in-depth account of the raid as well as an in-depth analysis of its causes
and effects. He also describes three other hostile encounters between
U.S. and Libyan forces during Reagan's presidency and details U.S.
covert operations. From a bombing in West Berlin, to terrorism in
the skies over Lockerbie, Scotland, and from the halls of power in
Washington to airbases in England and on the decks of American
warships in the Mediterranean, Stanik weaves an international thriller
that is relevant to current events.
JOSEPH T. STANIK, a retired U.S. Navy officer, is the author of Swift
and Effective Retribution: The U.S. Sixth Fleet and the Confrontation
with Qaddafi. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, he is a big-time
history teacher at the secondary and college levels.

BRITISH BATTLECRUISERS, 19051920

By John Roberts
The brainchild of Admiral Sir John Fisher, battlecruisers combined
heavy guns and high speed in the largest hulls of their era. Conceived
as super-cruisers whose job it was to hunt down and destroy commerce raiders, their size and gun-power led to their inclusion in the
battlefleet as a fast squadron of capital ships. This book traces in detail
the development of Fishers original idea into the first battlecruiser
Invincible of 1908, through to the Splendid Cats of the Lion class,
and culminating in HMS Hood in 1920, the largest warship in the
world for the next twenty years. The origins of the unusual light
battlecruisers of the Courageous type are also covered.
The well-publicized problems of British battlecruisers are examined,
including the latest research throwing light on the catastrophic loss of
three of the ships at the Battle of Jutland. The developmental history is
backed by chapters covering machinery, armament, and armor, with a
full listing of important technical data. The comprehensive collection
of illustrations includes the authors superb drawings and original
Admiralty plans reproduced in full color. This revised and updated
edition of the classic work first published in 1997 will be welcomed
by anyone with an interest in the most charismatic and controversial
warships of the dreadnought era.

A TALE OF TWO NAVIES
Geopolitics, Technology, and Strategy in the United

States Navy and the Royal Navy, 19602015
By Anthony R. Wells
A Tale of Two Navies is an analysis of the unique relationship
between the United States Navy and the Royal Navy from 1960 to
present. This loosely chronological study examines the histories,
strategies, operations, technology, and intelligence activities of
both services. The special intelligence relationship is highlighted
by unique knowledge and insights into the workings of U.S. and
British intelligence.
Bringing his extensive experience in both navies to bear, Anthony
Wells provides a revealing look at the importance of naval thinking
how it impacts not only every level of naval activity, but also national
defense as a whole. A Tale of Two Navies probes selective key themes
and offers a discourse between the author and readers. Throughout,
Wells challenges his reader to consider how the United States and
the United Kingdom can best collaborate to advance their common
strategic interests. This insightful look at the special relationship is
especially relevant given emerging and increasing threats from China,
Russia, and radical Islamist terror organizations.
ANTHONY R. WELLS is currently a visiting senior research fellow at
tury British warship design. Co-author of two highly regarded studies,

British Battleships and British Cruisers, he is also a fine draftsman and

GEAR UP, MISHAPS DOWN
ROUGH WATERS
By Vice Adm. Robert F. Dunn, USN (Ret.)
By Rodney Carlisle
Less than five years after U.S. naval aviation led the victory over
Imperial Japan that very organization was in serious trouble. The force
had been drastically reduced and, despite the Korean War, growing
sentiment supported by no less than the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
argued that the new Air Force could do anything naval aviation might
be required to do. Meanwhile, the naval aviation mishap rate soared.
The very survival of the community was at stake.
Rough Waters traces the evolution of the role of the U.S. merchant
ship flag, and the U.S. merchant fleet itself. Rodney Carlisle looks at
conduct and commerce at sea from the earliest days of the country,
when battles at sea were fought over honor and the flag, to the current
American-owned merchant fleet sailing under flags of convenience
via foreign registries. Carlisle examines the world-wide use, legality,
and continued acceptance of this practice, as well as measures to
off-set its ill effects.
The Evolution of Naval Aviation Safety, 19502000
It took fifty years to turn this around. Today, in spite of hot wars, cold
wars, contingencies, and peacetime operations in support of friends
and allies, the Navy and Marine Corps accident rate is at least as
good as that of the Air Force, and it approaches that of commercial
aviation. Gear Up, Mishaps Down explains that this accomplishment
was achieved through dedicated and professional leadership, a focus
on lessons learned from mishaps and near-mishaps, a willingness
to learn from other enterprises, and by better leadership, training,
maintenance, supply, and more.
VICE ADM. ROBERT F. DUNN, USN (RET.), is a naval aviator who com-
manded a jet squadron in combat, the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga,

and the Naval Safety Center. His last Navy assignment was as Deputy
Chief of Naval Operations for Air Warfare. In retirement he served
as Deputy Chairman of the NASA Aerospace Advisory Panel and
Chairman of a GSA Blue Ribbon Panel to examine non-DOD government aircraft safety.

Sovereignty and the American Merchant Flag
Looking at the interwar period of 19191939, Carlisle examines how

foreign registry of American-owned vessels began on a large scale, led
by Standard Oil with tankers under the flag of the Free City of Danzig
and followed by Panama. The work spells out how the United States
helped further the ship registry in Panama and Liberia after World
War II. Rough Waters concludes with an overview of how the practice
of foreign registry shapes present-day commerce and labor relations.

NAVAL INSTITUTE PRESS AUTHOR AWARDS AND RECOGNITION

Bravo Zulu to former Vietnam POW and Naval Institute Press author, Col. William Reeder Jr. USA (Ret.), for receiving the Silver Star
more than forty years after the actions that earned him the medal.
Reeder and Dan Jones were Cobra helicopter pilots who put their lives on the line to save friendly Vietnamese troops and an American
soldier during the Easter Offensive in 1972. Due to improper processing, these brave men never received the honor they were due until
Maj. John Duffy, the American officer they saved, brought the oversight to the attention of U.S. Rep. Sam Farr of California. In spring
2016 Naval Institute Press published William Reeders Through the Valley: My Captivity in Vietnam.

The battle did not stop to let Enterprise dress her wounds. The
chain of Vals still unwound down the sky, each link lashing viciously as it flashed overhead. Sho and Zuis pilots could see the holes
and the smoke and they were eager to complete the kill. Their
bombs threw tons of water on the Big Es deck, knocking her
men off their feet, throwing the guns out of position. The bullets
of their gunners searched her decks and gun positions. On their
five-inch, 40s, l.ls, and 20s the Big Es men steadily and angrily
returned the fire. And South Dakota supported them with a beautiful seamanship that kept her close, and a constant, effective fire
from a hundred guns.
Japanese aircraft fell out of the sky at the rate of one to every two
bombs dropped. At a single instant three were visible from the
Big Es bridge, bright flares streaking black smoke down toward
the sea. The cost was high, but just one bomb might finish the
only carrier the Americans had left and give Guadalcanal back to
the Emperor. From The Big E: The Story of the USS Enterprise

LIKE YOUVE NEVER BEFORE SEEN HER

This heavily illustrated new edition tells the classic tale of the warship that
contributed more than any other to the naval victory against Japan.
The Wildcat in his hands felt like the smooth stock and grip and trigger
of a familiar rifle. And he was careful and absolutely accurate. He began
with the left-hand plane of the V. He flew in close, directly astern, and
blew it up with two short bursts of his six guns. Methodically, Vejtasa
kicked rudder and slid his Wildcat to the right in behind the leader. His
first burst brought the Kates rudder soaring up and over his head, his
second as the enemy began to yaw set him on fire and he fell away in a
spiral to the left. In the cloud the tracers glowed like accelerated Roman
candles. Still in the gray damp of the cloud, Vejtasa eased over behind
the remaining enemy who began a shallow right turn. Swedes six guns
raked the plane from engine back to tail in a single long rattle of bullets
and it flamed violently and nosed abruptly downward. . . .
Thus did Swede Vejtasa, on a single combat flight, shoot down two
enemy dive bombers and five torpedo planes with one more probable.
Out of the eleven Kates that he discovered deploying for an attack on
his ship, he personally destroyed five and led his wingman on a run that
accounted for a sixth. Three others jettisoned their torpedoes and fled
and it was the opinion of Vejtasas commanding officer, Jim Flatley, that
the other two were so demoralized that they were ineffective. From
The Big E: The Story of the USS Enterprise
NHHC; BARR COLLECTION
Left: John Hamiltons oil painting on wood circa 1970s depicts the USS South Dakota and
Enterprise in action during the Battle of Santa Cruz. Above: Fighting Tens ace, Lt. Stanley Swede
Vejtasa, who shot down two dive bombers and five torpedo planes, with another of the latter
probable, at a critical juncture in the defense of the Enterprise during the Battle of Santa Cruz.
The U.S. Naval Institute gratefully acknowledges the generous financial support and
invaluable partnership of the Taylor family and Enterprise Rent-A-Car in honor of its
Founder, Jack Taylor, a decorated Navy fighter pilot who flew off of the USS Enterprise
during World War II. Taylor started his company after the war, naming it for the aircraft
carrier in which he served.

This edition of Chronicles recalls many of
those challenges as they appeared in Naval

Since its founding

True to its role as provider of an open forum,

the Naval Institute has devoted many pages
to the Vietnam War. In this retrospective and
introspective collection, authors provide a
look back at that controversial war in search
of understanding, lessons learned, recognition,
and, in some cases, closure.
With the Panama Canal currently undergoing a major expansion, it is appropriate and
enlightening to look back to the early days of
this remarkable and somewhat presumptuous
project. With its substantial maritime impact,
it is not surprising that the canal was the subject
of much thought-provoking dialog in the Naval
Institutes unique forum.
The U.S. Coast Guard has long served this

maritime nation in important and often
vital ways, and has long been a recurring
topic in the Naval Institutes open forum.
Life-saving, ice-breaking, buoy-tending,
and homeland security are just a few of the
many functions of this diminutive services

as absolute. This Wheel Book offers practical guidance and advice that actual and

Graduation Day 1980, U.S. Naval Academy
In the U.S. Naval Institute Oral History Program,

recent developments include the finalization of a
volume that brings together the early career recollections of six former midshipmen who were in
the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1980: Chrystal
Lewis Campbell, Sandy L. Daniels, Tina-Marie
DErcole, Barbette Henry Lowndes, Maureen
Foley Nunez, and Pamela Wacek Svendsen.
Despite sometimes very unpleasant resistance,
they were among the fifty-five women who persevered, succeeded, and went on to serve in the
Navy. While acknowledging the extra difficulties
they faced due to their historical circumstances,
the women also remember with gratitude the
support and encouragement that came from
many, including both civilian and military male

instructors. Their passion for their chosen areas of
service, from flying to Supply Corps, rings clearly
through their stories, along with their strength
and determination to achieve their objectives.
Whether they ultimately chose to remain in the
Navy for a career or to fulfill their obligation
and then pursue another path, their accomplishments at the Naval Academy taught them the
importance of persistence and the meaning of
leadership. The Naval Institute is proud to add
to its collection the 1980s stories of these outstanding women. We look forward to capturing
the recollections of other social groups who have
faced seemingly insurmountable odds.
