PHILIP NOLAN

The Man Without a Country


By Chuck Pfarrer
Philip Nolan: The Man Without a Country is Chuck
Pfarrers captivating adaptation of Edward Everett Hales
American classic The Man Without a Country, first
published in The Atlantic Monthly more than a century
ago. Masterfully blending history and fiction, Pfarrer tells
the story of a young artillery officer, Philip Nolan, who
becomes embroiled in Aaron Burrs 1807 conspiracy to
invade the territories of the Louisiana Purchase. Insinuating
his scheme has official approval, Burr convinces Nolan to
carry a coded message into the Orleans Territory. Nolan
has no knowledge of the former vice presidents intended
treasonand Burr has no idea that Thomas Jefferson has
discovered his scheme. Soon Philip Nolan is in military
custody with Burr, charged an accessory to the plot.
The nation holds its breath as Burr is tried for attempting
to tear apart the Union. The charges against Burr seem
ironclad, but his lawyers are clever, and Burr walks free. An
embarrassed prosecution looks for a scapegoat, and expands
the charges against Nolan to include desertion and sedition.
Learning that his own court martial will proceed, despite
Burrs acquittal, Nolan denounces his accusers, damns his
country, and tells the court he wishes never again to hear
the words United States as long as he lives. The judges
return with an ominous verdict: the prisoners wish will
be granted. Nolan is sentenced to permanent exile aboard
a series of U.S. warships, never again to hear news from or
speak of his country.
Decades pass. Shuttled from ocean to ocean, Nolan realizes
he is a stateless person, estranged from his keepers and forgotten by his country. Eventually passed aboard an AmerAPRIL 2016 | 320 pp. | 618 x 9 | Fiction

custody of a newly commissioned lieutenant, Frank Curran.
When Barbary pirates capture an American whaleship, the
pair is drawn into a web of international deceit and mortal danger. As a rescue mission is launched, Nolan teaches the young officer a lesson about
duty, loyalty, and the meaning of patriotism.
Equal parts adventure, naval history, and morality tale, Philip Nolan: The Man Without a Country is more than frigate duels and small boat actions.
Intricately plotted and beautifully crafted, the novel is a poignant and closely observed examination of the human condition.

FIRE FROM THE SKY

WAR WITHOUT FRONTS

By Richard Knott

By Thomas C. Thayer

Seawolf Gunships in the Mekong Delta


The Seawolves were a kind of special operations force in their own right,
providing SEALs and others in the Mekong Delta with the sort of rapid
response support we could always count on, no matter what. I am alive
today because of their bravery and tenacity. Fire from the Sky is their
story and it is a good one. Rear Adm. Tom Hulk Richards, USN,
SEAL Team One, Zulu Platoon
Fire from the Sky is the first complete history of the most decorated
Navy squadron of the Vietnam War. Richard Knott tells the dramatic history of the HAL-3 Seawolves, the U.S. Navy's first and only
helicopter gunship squadron of the Vietnam War. The squadron was
established in country to support the fast, pugnacious river patrol
boats of the brown water navy. Flying combat-worn Hueys borrowed
from the Army, the mission of the Seawolves quickly expanded to
include rapid response air support to any friendly force in the Delta
needing immediate assistance. The Seawolves inserted SEALs deep
into enemy territory, and extracted them, often despite savage enemy
opposition. They rescued friendly combatants from almost certain
capture or death, and evacuated the wounded when Medevac helicopters were not available.
CAPT. RICHARD KNOTT, USN (RET.) is the author of The American Flying

view of American military strategy during the Vietnam War and of
how military operations affected the Vietnamese people.

SCHNELLBOOTE

A Complete Operational History


By Lawrence Paterson
The Kriegsmarines Schnellbootefast attack boats or E-boats to the
Allieswere the primary German naval attack units in coastal waters
throughout the Second World War. Operating close to their various
bases they became a devastatingly effective weapon in nearly all the
Kriegsmarines theaters of war, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean
and the Black Sea. It was in the English Channel, however, that
the Schnellboote scored their most notable successes, destroying
some forty warships and more than one hundred merchant ships.
In addition to interception and attack, the boats were also used for
minelaying, landing sabotage troops, and general escort duties.
To date, there has been no comprehensive operational history of the
Schnellboote. However, due to the relatively small number of units,
author Lawrence Paterson is able to recount the duties, fates, and
careers of each individual craft in this new book. In addition, the
smaller Schnellbootes designed for operations alongside the commando units of the Kleinkampfverbnde are covered. As the war
progressed, Schnellbootes suffered from the increased Allied mastery
of the seas and skies but they were a formidable foe right to the end.
This new book is the first to do full justice to their record of success.

THE U.S. COAST GUARD IN WWII


By Malcolm F. Willoughby
The intimate view of the U.S. Coast Guards dramatic World War II
record has long been considered a classic. First published in 1957
and out of print for years, the book is now available in paperback.
Handsomely illustrated with more than two hundred photographs,
the book serves as a unique memento of one of the most illustrious
periods in the Coast Guards two-hundred-year history.
The author offers a story replete with incidents of devotion far
beyond the call of dutydaring rescues, adventurous high-sea
missions, heroic combat actionto clearly demonstrate the vital
role the service played in the Allied war effort. A seasoned World
War I veteran who joined the Coast Guard Temporary Reserve
in 1942, Malcolm Willoughby has covered every aspect of the
Coast Guards involvement in the war at sea, in the air, and at
home. From the invasion of Normandy, where Coast Guardsmen
landed thousands of Americans and rescued some 1,500 stranded
in the surf, to Guadalcanal, where they rescued three companies of
Marines trapped on the beach, this chronicle vividly recounts these
well-documented operations and little-known stories of individual
triumphs and tragedies as well.
MALCOLM F. WILLOUGHBY (19232000) was an investment counselor

German naval operations and has written more than ten books on
various aspects of the U-boat war, most recently Dnitzs Last Gamble
and Black Flag.

in Arlington, Massachusetts, where he joined the Coast Guard


Reserve in 1942 as a lieutenant and served as skipper of a patrol boat

REBUTTAL

The CIA Responds to the Senate


Intelligence Committees Study of Its
Detention and Interrogation Program
Edited by Bill Harlow
In December 2014 the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence (SSCI) released an executive summary of
a six-thousand-page study of the CIAs detention and
interrogation of al Qaida terrorists. Though wildly
inaccurate, badly conceived, and poorly executed, the
summary was widely accepted as fact. In early 2015
this summary was published in book form and titled
The Senate Intelligence Committee Report on Torture.
Most press accounts ignored the fact that the SSCI
minority staff and the current CIA leadership issued
their own reports and took great issue with the findings. Rebuttal presents the rest of the story. It includes
eight essays from former senior CIA officials who are
deeply knowledgeable about the program but were
never interviewed by the SSCI staff during the more
than four years the report was in preparation. Rebuttal
also includes the official responses from the SSCI
minority and CIA.
Rebuttal debunks sweeping generalizations made
by the SSCI staff, many of which have been blindly
accepted as fact. Moreover, Rebuttal offers the context
and explanations necessary to understand why, in the
days following 9/11 as the United States dealt with real
and growing threats to its homeland, America engaged
in this aggressive interrogation program.

A PRISONER'S DUTY

THE JIHADIST THREAT

By Robert C. Doyle

By Paul Moorcraft

No one has studied the American POW experience more thoroughly


than Robert C. Doyle, and with this book he has again shown us the
beauty and heroism in the heart of the American POW who refuses to
knuckle under. A Prisoners Duty is a book not merely for those interested
in military history but for anyone who wishes to understand the true
essence of human freedom. William J. Miller, editor, Civil War
magazine

This timely and controversial book examines the international and


domestic threats to the West from jihadism. It connects the dots
of this Islamic fundamentalist movement throughout the Middle
East, Asia, and Africa, explaining what the movement means for
the West, in particular Britain, but also continental Europe and the
United States. After briefly tracing the origins of jihadism from the
time of the prophet Muhammad to the present, The Jihadist Threat
analyzes the fall-out from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and
how these conflicts fueled the rise of the self-styled Islamic State
and other terrorist groups. The book also examines the extent to
which these groups pose a threat to Western society and concludes
with suggestions for defeating this existential threat to the Western
way of life.

Great Escapes in U.S. Military History

Throughout our nation's history American servicemen and civilians


have resisted captivity in every form, drawing on special powers
of ingenuity, determination, and patriotism to escapesometimes
repeatedly. Robert Doyle's penetrating look at some extraordinary
escapes by Americans breaks new ground in escape psychology, shedding light on the types of people who try to breakout and those who
do not. This engrossing study probes the personal and social impacts
of escape, the many motivations that spur such acts, and the concept
of the escaper as the ideal prisoner and the ultimate patriot.
ROBERT C. DOYLE is a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He served

THROUGH THE VALLEY


My Captivity in Vietnam
By William Reeder Jr.
Colonel Reeder's story of how he became the last soldier captured by the enemy in South Vietnam and how he endured
captivity and then a forced march north up the Ho Chi Minh
Trail is awe-inspiring. His will to survive, and the courage and
sacrifice demanded of him, make this book hard to put down.
Joseph L. Galloway co-author of We Were Soldiers Once...
and Young and We Are Soldiers Still
Through the Valley is the captivating memoir of the last U.S. Army
soldier taken prisoner during the Vietnam War. A narrative of
courage, hope, and survival, Through the Valley is more than
just a war story. It also portrays the thrill and horror of combat,
the fear and anxiety of captivity, and the stories of friendships
forged and friends lost.
In 1971 William Reeder was a senior captain on his second tour
in Vietnam. He had flown armed, fixed-wing OV-1 Mohawks
on secret missions deep into enemy territory in Laos, Cambodia,
and North Vietnam on his first tour. He returned as a helicopter
pilot eager to experience a whole new perspective as a Cobra
gunship pilot. Believing that Nixons Vietnamization would
soon end the war, Reeder was anxious to see combat action.
To him, it appeared that the Americans had prevailed, beaten
the Viet Cong, and were passing everything over to the South
Vietnamese Army so that Americans could leave.
Less than a year later, while providing support to forces at the
besieged base of Ben Het, Reeders chopper went down in a
flaming corkscrew. Though Reeder survived the crash, he was
captured after evading the enemy for three days. He was held for
weeks in jungle cages before enduring a grueling forced march
on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, costing the lives of seven of his group
of twenty-seven POWs. Imprisoned in the notorious prisons of
Hanoi, Reeders tenacity in the face of unimaginable hardship
is not only a captivating story, but serves as an inspiration to all.

Hardcover: $29.95 | ISBN: 978-1-59114-586-8

In Through the Valley William Reeder shares the torment and pain of his ordeal, but does so in the light of the hope that he never lost. His memoir
reinforces the themes of courage and sacrifice, undying faith, strength of family, love of country, loyalty among comrades, and a realization of how
precious is the freedom all too often taken for granted. Sure to resonate with those serving in the armed forces who continue to face the demands
of combat, Through the Valley will also appeal to readers looking for a powerful, riveting story.
WILLIAM REEDER JR. is a retired Army colonel and highly decorated combat veteran of the Vietnam War. He received the Silver Star for gallantry,
two Distinguished Flying Crosses for heroism, an Air Medal for valor, and three Purple Hearts for wounds received during the events related in
this story. Since military retirement, he has continued to be involved in leadership training and education for the U.S. Army and NATO Special

BATTLECRUISERS

THE KAISER'S BATTLEFLEET

Their Development and Operations

By Aidan Dodson

By Michele Cosentino and Ruggero Stanglini

The battleships of the Third Reich have been written about exhaustively, but there is little in English devoted to their Second Reich
predecessors. This new book fills an important gap in the literature
of the period by covering these German capital ships in detail and
studying the full span of battleship development during this period.
The book is arranged as a chronological narrative, with technical
details, construction schedules, and ultimate fates tabulated throughout, thus avoiding the sometimes disjointed structure that can result
from a class-by-class approach. Heavily illustrated with line drawings
and photographs, many from German sources, the book offers readers a fresh visual look at these ships. A key objective of the book is
to make available a full synthesis of the published fruits of archival
research by German writers found in the pre-World War II books
of Koop and Schmolke, Gromers on the construction program of
the dreadnaught era, Forstmeier and Breyer on World War I projects, and Schenk and Nottelmanns papers in Warship International.
Additionally, this book provides data not previously available in
English-language publications and corrects significant errors that
have been published in English language references.

The authors of British and German Battlecruisers have detailed the


fast and formidably-armed battlecruisers developed before and
during World War I in a way that has never been attempted before.
They begin by looking at the relationship and rivalry between Great
Britain and Germany and how foreign policy, strategic and tactical
considerations, economic, industrial and technological developments, as well as naval policies led to the commencement of the
battlecruiser programs in both countries. Chapters are then devoted
to the development of the ships in each country, to design and construction, protection, propulsion plants, weapons, fire control, and
communication systems. Particular focus is paid to the innovative
aspects of the designs and their strengths and weaknesses. These ships
eventually clashed in the North Sea at Dogger Bank, in January 1915,
and while neither side suffered losses, the differences in their design
and handling were apparent. These differences would be starkly highlighted a year later at Jutland when three British ships were destroyed.
This is a major new work for naval enthusiasts everywhere.

SHOT FROM THE SKY

THE SAILING FRIGATE

By Cathryn J. Prince

By Robert Gardiner

Ms. Prince's study . . . is proof that atrocities will happen whenever one individual is given unchecked power over another. Wall
Street Journal

The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich houses the largest


collection of scale ship models in the world. Many of the models are
official, contemporary artifacts made by the craftsmen of the Royal
Navy or the shipbuilders themselves, ranging from the mid-seventeenth century to the present day. As such they represent a three-dimensional archive of unique importance and authority. Treated as
historical evidence, they offer more detail than even the best plans, and
demonstrate exactly what the ships looked like in a way that even the
finest marine painter could not achieve. Now available in paperback,
this book tells the story of the evolution of the cruising ship under sail.
It includes a large number of model photos all in full-color as well as
close-up and detail views. These are captioned in depth, but many are
also annotated to focus attention on interesting or unusual features.

American POWs in Switzerland

This book eloquently addresses a little known aspect of WWII.


Choice
Now available in paperback, Shot from the Sky uncovers one of the
great, dark secrets of World War II: neutral Switzerland shot and
forced down U.S. aircraft entering Swiss airspace and imprisoned
the survivors in internment camps, detaining more than a thousand
American flyers between 1943 and the wars end. While conditions
at the camps were adequate and humane for internees who obeyed
their captors orders, the experience was far different for those who
attempted to escape. They were held in special penitentiary camps
in conditions as bad as those in some prisoner-of-war camps in Nazi
Germany. When the war ended in Europe, sixty-one Americans lay
buried in a small village cemetery near Bern.
Cathryn J. Prince brings to light details of this little-known episode
as she describes the events and examines the Swiss justification for
their policy. The author draws on first-person accounts and unpublished sources, including interviews with eyewitnesses and surviving
American prisoners, and documents held by the Swiss government
and the U.S. Air Force.

A History in Ship Models

Although pictorial in emphasis, The Sailing Frigate weaves the pictures


into an authoritative text, producing an unusual and attractive form
of technical history. While the series will be of particular interest to
ship modelers, all those with an interest in ship design and development will be attracted to the in-depth analysis of these beautifully
presented books.
ROBERT GARDINER is the author of three books on sailing cruisers,

including Frigates of the Napoleonic Wars, published in 2000 and


re-released in paperback in 2006. His last book was a new and enlarged
edition of Warships of the Napoleonic Era.

Farragut in his famous order: Damn the torpedoes! Full
speed ahead! can make any manager afloat or ashore more
successful. Alec Frasers experience as a Navy captain and the
president of a division of Turner Broadcasting has taught
him that leadership ashore can be modeled after centuries
of leadership at sea. In Damn the Torpedoes! Fraser utilizes
his own experiences in the U.S. Navy and the corporate
world to illustrate this concept.
Within the first sixty seconds of his induction to the U.S.
Naval Academy, Midshipman Fraser was posed with a
question to which he answered, I dont know. This quickly
proved to be an unacceptable answer in the Navy, regardless
of the question. While doing the requisite push-ups that
followed, he learned that there were only four ways to
respond to a question or an order: No excuse, sir, Ill find
out, sir, Yes/no sir, and Aye-aye, sir. From these four
responses Fraser learned the four key concepts to being an
effective leader afloat or ashore: accountability, thinking
ahead, ethics, and motivation.
Damn the Torpedoes! offers concrete advice for leading in
the work placegiving step-by-step recommendations
to encourage readers into adopting this different way of
approaching leadership. Providing a fresh and unconventional perspective, Captain Fraser gives personal and historic examples about the leadership traits of ship captains and
suggests how leaders in any organization may adapt them
to make their careers and businesses successful.

According to Fraser, these four key leadership concepts are


the basic principles necessary to prevent organizational
chaos best summed up by a Wall Street Journal editorial
on leadership at sea and ashore: When men lose confidence and trust in those who lead, order disintegrates into chaos and purposeful ships into
uncontrollable derelicts.
CAPT. ALEC FRASER, USN (RET.) is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. He has had two unique careers: commanding two Navy missile ships and
later serving as president of a division of Turner Broadcasting. He was also an on-air military analyst for CNN and was a guest on the Larry King
Show. While he was in command of the USS Cape St. George (CG 71), the ship earned the USS Arizona Memorial Trophy for being the most
combat-ready ship in the fleet.

JUTLAND

THE WAR BEGINS

Edited by William Schliehauf


with Stephen McLaughlin

By David Lee Russell

The Naval Staff Appreciation

Jutland, the largest naval battle of the First World War, was the most
controversial engagement in the Royal Navys history. Falling well
short of the total victory expected by the public, it rapidly sparked
argument and ill-will within the Royal Navy, including disagreements
among those in its highest echelons, many of whom had been directly
involved in the battle. The first attempt to produce even an objective
record was delayed and heavily censored, but this was followed by a
more ambitious scheme to write a no-holds-barred critique of the
fleets performance for use in training future officers at the Naval Staff
College. This became the now infamous Naval Staff Appreciation,
which was eventually deemed too damaging, its publication canceled,
and all proof copies ordered destroyed. Mentioned in virtually every
book on Jutland since, but unavailable to their authors, the document
has developed an almost legendary status of a book too explosive to
publish. However, despite the order to destroy, a few copies survived.
Transcribed from one of the copies, Jutland reveals this long-hidden
work for the first time. It contains expert modern commentary and
explanatory notes to put it in proper context. Now everyone interested
in Jutland can read this book and judge for themselves.
WILLIAM SCHLIEHAUF, an America naval historian, had a lifetime

ambition to publish a modern edition of The Naval Staff Appreciation,


but died before he could see its completion. It has been carried to
fruition by another American naval writer, STEPHEN MCLAUGHLIN.

The Navy's Early Carrier Raids, FebruaryMay 1942


The War Begins reveals in detail the events of the early carrier raids by
the U.S. Pacific Fleet against the Japanese in the first half of 1942 in the
Pacific War. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, carrier airpower would
take on the supreme offensive role against Japanese forces in the first
phase of the war. Americas fast carrier task forces, with their aircraft
squadrons and powerful support warships, took on the challenge,
but the Pacific Fleet carrier force had a total of three carriers in the
Pacific on 7 December 1941.
Adm. William F. Halseys Task Force 8, positioned on the Enterprise,
and Rear Adm. Frank Jack Fletchers Task Force 17, on the Yorktown,
executed the first raid on Japanese positions on 1 February 1942, with
attacks on the Marshall and Gilbert Islands. Raids on Rabaul, Wake
Island, and Marcus Island followed. The most daring carrier raid was
the unorthodox Doolittle Raid on Japan itself, on 18 April, when
sixteen U.S. Army B-25 medium bombers launched from the Hornet.
Though the carrier raids had limited material effect on Japans continuing advance in the Pacific, they yielded valuable operational experience
for U.S. carrier forces, kept open the lines of communications to Australia, and boosted morale. The raid on Tokyo inspired the elaborate
Japanese plan to occupy Midway Island in June, resulting in a major
carrier battle and the U.S. Navys greatest victory.

STRATEGY

Context and Adaptation from Archidamus to Airpower


Edited by Richard J. Bailey Jr., James W. Forsyth Jr.,
and Mark O. Yeisley
How does one engage in the study of strategy? Strategy: Context and
Adaptation from Archidamus to Airpower argues that strategy is not
just concerned with amassing knowledge; it is also about recognizing
our imperfect understanding of the environment and respecting the
complex nature of adaptation to the unforeseen or unexpected. In
essence, the strongest strategists are those who commit to an education that cultivates a more holistic and adaptive way of thinking.
With that thought in mind, the contributors to Strategy, each a
current or former professor at the School of Advanced Air and Space
Studies, widely considered the Department of Defenses premier
school of strategy, offer ways of thinking strategically about a variety
of subject matters, from classical history to cyberpower.

CYBERSPACE IN PEACE AND WAR


By Martin C. Libicki
In a world in which cyberspace is becoming every countrys center of
gravity, the issue of cyberwar can no longer be ignored. Cyberspace
in Peace and War is the first comprehensive, instructional guide to
the challenge of cyberwar: how to conduct it but, more importantly,
how to avoid it using a mix of cybersecurity policies coupled with
deterrence, escalation, signaling, and norms strategies. The result of
over twenty years of analysis and assessment by author Martin C.
Libicki, this text should be of particular interest to those concerned
with the current and future challenges that face the digital frontier.

Practitioners in the profession of arms, perhaps more than any other


profession, must employ critical thinking where the application of
power on land, at sea, in the air, and in space and cyberspace are
concerned. Strategy examines various sub-disciplines regarding the
use of power, and illuminates different approaches to thinking which
have implications beyond the implementation of force.

Cyberspace in Peace and War presents a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity, cyberwar, and cyberterrorism. From basic concepts to advanced principles, Libicki examines the sources and consequences of system compromises, addresses how cybersecurity policies
can strengthen countries defensesleaving them less susceptible to
cyberattack, and explores cybersecurity in the context of military
operations, highlighting unique aspects of the digital battleground
and strategic uses of cyberwar. He provides the technical and geopolitical foundations of cyberwar necessary to understand the policies,
operations, and strategies required for safeguarding an increasingly
online infrastructure.

THE WORLD OF THE BATTLESHIP


The Design and Careers of Capital Ships of the
World's Navies 19001950
Edited by Bruce Taylor
This new volume is intended to present a global vision of the development of the worlds battleships in the first half of the 20th century.
In a collection of chapters by experts from around the world, each
of the worlds navies is explored via the design, building and career
of a significant battleship. In addition, the book also examines the
communities of officers and men that served in those ships and,
more broadly, the societies and nations that built them. While ships
from the Royal Navy, the U.S. Navy, the Kriegsmarine, the Imperial
Japanese Navy, the Marine Nationale and the Regia Navale are given
significant coverage, so are those from the smaller navies, including
Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Turkey. Each chapter explains the origins
of a particular ship, her importance as a national symbol, and her place
in the fleet. The genesis of her design along with particulars of her
protection, armament, and propulsion systems are covered, and the
construction process and launching described. The ships complement
and organization are detailed, and daily routine and watchstanding
in both peace and war explained. Life on board the shipeating
and sleeping for officers, ratings, discipline, pay, morale, pets and
mascotsare covered as well as a full account of the ships career, so
that the distinctive character of each vessel and navy emerges. This is
a highly original and significant book and a must-have for individuals
interested in ship history.

JUTLAND: THE UNFINISHED BATTLE


A Personal History of a Naval Controversy
By Nick Jellicoe
One hundred years after Jutland, the first and largest engagement of
dreadnoughts in the twentieth century, historians are still fighting
this controversial and misunderstood battle. What was in fact a
strategic victory stands out starkly against the background of bitter
public disappointment in the Royal Navy and decades of divisive
acrimony and very public infighting between the camps supporting
the two most senior commanders, Jellicoe and Beatty. Based on the
latest research, The Unfinished Battle retells the story of the battle
from both a British and German perspective, clarifying the context
of Germanys inevitable naval clash. It also traces the dispute known
as the Jutland Controversy that ensued until Admiral Jellicoes
death in 1935. Author Nick Jellicoe is uniquely placed to tell the
story of Jutland. His naval connections are strong: his father, the
second Earl Jellicoe served as First Lord of the Admiralty while his
grandfather, Sir John Jellicoe commanded the Grand Fleet for the
first two years of the war, from 1914 to 1916. Sir John was famously
described by Churchill as being the only man who could have lost
the war in an afternoon.
NICK JELLICOE has lived his whole life under the shadow of Jutland.

The enduring controversy surrounding his grandfathers actions


on that day inspired him to undertake a major investigation of the
battle and an analysis of the arguments that followed. This book
is the result.

IN PURSUIT OF THE ESSEX

Heroism and Hubris on the High Seas in the


War of 1812
By Ben Hughes
On 26 October 1812, during the war between Britain and the
United States, the frigate USS Essex set sail on the most remarkable
voyage in the early history of the U.S. Navy. After rounding Cape
Horn in South America, she proceeded to systematically destroy
the British South Seas whaling fleet. When news reached the Royal
Navys South American station at Rio de Janeiro, HMS Phoebe was
launched in pursuit. So began one of the most extraordinary chases
in naval history.
In Pursuit of the Essex follows the adventures of both the hunters
and the hunted, taking into account the host of colorful characters
that crossed their paths along the way. Traitorous Nantucket whalers,
Chilean revolutionaries, British spies, a Peruvian viceroy, and bellicose Polynesian islanders all play a role. The brilliant yet vainglorious
Captain Porter of the Essex, his nemesis Captain James Hillyar of
the Phoebe, and two young midshipmen, David Farragut and Allen
Gardiner, serve as principal narrators. From giant-tortoise turning
expeditions on the Galapagos Islands to the perils of rounding Cape
Hornincluding desperate skirmishes with spear-toting natives on
the Marquesas and a defeated duelist bleeding his life out onto black,
volcanic sandsthe reader is immersed in the fantastical world of
the British and American seamen who struggled for supremacy over
the worlds oceans in the sunset years of the age of sail.
BEN HUGHES is a teacher and lecturer. His previous books include

Institution

Commo. Dudley Wright Knox took a practitioners approach to


maritime history, helping to frame a global mission for the U.S. Navy.
Having graduated with the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1897, he
commanded a variety of warships and flag headquarters. He served
in combat during the 1898 Spanish-American War, the Boxer Rebellion, and in the Philippines. With intelligence, Knox lead efforts to

second to none Knox assisted President Franklin D. Roosevelt in
educating Americans to understand the nexus between war and peace.
Unlike armies or air forces, Knox argued that navies provided unique
means, not to make war but to preserve peace, not to be predatory
but to shield the free development of commerce, not to unsettle the
world but to stabilize it through the promotion of law and order.

THE FRENCH NAVY IN WORLD WAR II


By Rear Admiral Paul Auphan and Jacques Mordal
Prior to this books original publication in 1959, little had been done
to dispel confusion regarding what really happened to the French
Navy during World War II. Few people realized the tragic situation
of a country forced to capitulate to a traditional enemy. After this
humiliating experience, the Navy, in its attempts to preserve Frances
foreign possessions and to supply the mother country, found itself torn
between the conflicting interests of involved internal and international
politics. Forced to scuttle part of the fleet at Toulon, the remainder
found themselves viewed with wary suspicion by both the Germans
and the Allies.
That the French Navy was able to survive at all is a minor miracle.
That it so well preserved its unanimity as to return to the fight and
participate in the final victory is in itself a tribute to the moral, discipline, and traditions that date back to the crusades. The French Navy
in World War II is now available in paperback.
REAR ADMIRAL PAUL AUPHAN (18941982) served in World War I
and World War II. After serving as Minister of the French Navy, he
resigned on 15 November 1942. He published numerous books on
naval and political history.
JAQUES MORDAL (191080) was a French naval historian. He authored

twenty books on World War II, the most important of which relate
the stories of the conspicuous events in the history of the French
Navy: the Norwegian campaign; the battles of Dunkirk, Dakar, and
Casablanca; and the war in Indochina.

MARGIN OF VICTORY

TURNABOUT AND DECEPTION

By Douglas Macgregor

By Barton Whaley

Foreword by Robert M. Citino

Edited by Susan Stratton Aykroyd

In Margin of Victory Douglas Macgregor tells the riveting stories of five


military battles of the twentieth century, each one a turning point in
history. Beginning with the British Expeditionary force holding the
line at the Battle of Mons in 1914 and concluding with the Battle of
Easting in 1991 during Desert Storm, Margin of Victory teases out a
connection between these battles and teaches its readers an important
lesson about how future battles can be won.

Turnabout and Deception combines two of spymaster Barton Whaley's


most potent analyses of the craft: Turnabout: Crafting the Double-Cross
and When Deception Fails: The Theory of Outs. Each examination delves
into extensive case studies to establish not only foundational understandings of essential espionage principals, but also creates guidance for
their practical application on both individual and governmental scales.

Five Battles that Changed the Face of Modern War

Emphasizing military strategy, force design, and modernization,


Macgregor links each of these seemingly isolated battles thematically.
At the core of his analysis, the author reminds the reader that to be
successful, military action must always be congruent with national
culture, geography, and scientific-industrial capacity. He theorizes that
strategy and geopolitics are ultimately more influential than ideology.
Macgregor stresses that if nation-states want to be successful, they must
accept the need for and the inevitability of change. The five warfighting
dramas in this book, rendered in vivid detail by lively prose, offer
many lessons on the tactical, operational, and strategic levels of war.
COL. DOUGLAS MACGREGOR, USA (RET.) is a decorated combat veteran

with a PhD in international relations from the University of Virginia.

Crafting the Double-Cross and the Theory of Outs

Deception is a basic tactic used by allies and enemies alike, but when
both protagonist and antagonist ply the same trade, it is the master
of the double-cross who comes out the victor. Turnabout and Deception examines how to turn the tables on an opponent and use their
own deception against them. Through thirty-eight case studies, this
monograph dissects the double-cross to reveal the psychological
battle of wits at its core.
No matter how well crafted, however, there is always a chance that a
deception will fail. But failure is not the end of a deception, and even
failed deception operations can yield results. Turnabout and Deception
pores over sixty more case studies to determine why a deception will
fail, steps to prevent a failed operation, and how to turn that failure
into a success.
BARTON WHALEY (19282013) was a research professor in the Depart-

was an internally renowned scholar and authority on deception and

THE PANAMA CANAL

THE COAST GUARD

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
mandated responsibilities.

OPERATION MENACE

DEATH ON THE HELLSHIPS

By Arthur J. Marder

By Gregory F. Michno

The Dakar Expedition and the Dudley North Affair


New Introduction by Barry Gough
Continuing on from Arthur Marders previous book, From the Dardanelles to Oran: Studies of the Royal Navy in Peace 19151940, this
next volume investigates the Allied expedition of September 1940,
with De Gaulle present, which unsuccessfully attempted to break the
French at Dakar away from the Vichy Government.
A pet operation of Prime Minister Churchill, the operation was
undertaken against all advice, and it turned out to be a fiasco. In the
authors words, Menace exemplified, in its genesis, planning, and
execution, all that can go wrong in warfare; an operation fouled up
by unforeseen contingencies, the accidents of war, and human error,
and against a background of undue political interference, inadequate
planning, and half-baked co-operation between Allies.

A carefully researched and poignantly told tale of thousands of Americans


who died at sea at the hands of their own countrymen. The fact that their
numbers were greater than the number of deaths in the bloodiest of all
Pacific war battles, Okinawa, is shocking. . . .Simultaneously judicious,
sympathetic, and compelling in his presentation, Michno has produced
a must read book for anyone interested in Pacific war history. Roger
R. Dingman, author of Ghost of War: The Sinking of the Awa Maru
and Japanese-American Relations, 19451995

Using Admiralty and Cabinet papers, as well as private sources of


information, Marder weaves a skilled course through all the complex
material to produce a masterly case-study of how an operation is
mounted and how it can go disastrously wrong. It is a classic, tragicomic illustration of the fog of war.

Now available in paperback, Death on the Hellships chronicles the true


dimensions of the Allied POW experience at sea. It is a disturbing
story; many believe the Bataan Death March even pales by comparison. Survivors describe their ordeal in the Japanese hellships as the
absolute worst experience of their captivity. Crammed by the thousands into the holds of the ships, moved from island to island and put
to work, they endured all the horrors of the prison camps magnified
tenfold. Gregory Michno draws on American, British, Australian, and
Dutch POW accounts as well as Japanese convoy histories, declassified
radio intelligence reports, and a wealth of archival sources to present
a detailed picture of the horror.

ARTHUR J. MARDER was a meticulous researcher, teacher, and writer.

GREGORY F. MICHNO is the son of a World War II submariner whose

He was perhaps the most distinguished historian of the modern


Royal Navy. He held a number of teaching posts, received countless
honors, and published fifteen major works on British naval history.
Marder died in 1980.

THE SEASICK ADMIRAL

Nelson and the Health of the Navy


By Kevin Brown
Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson did not enjoy robust good health.
From his childhood he was prone to many of the ailments so common
during the eighteenth century, and after he joined the Royal Navy he
contracted fevers that further undermined his strength. Nevertheless,
he saw more action than most officers, and was often wounded. His
sickness made him uniquely aware of the importance of health and
fitness to the efficient running of a fleet, and this new book investigates
Nelsons personal contribution to improving the welfare of the men
he commanded. It ranges from issues of diet, hygiene, and improved
medical practices. Believing prevention was better than cure, Nelson
went to great lengths to obtain fresh provisions, insisted on cleanliness
in his ships, and understood the relationship between mental and
physical health, working tirelessly to keep up the morale of his men.
Nelsons influence in naval health was hugely significant, a role which
this book reveals in detail for the first time.
KEVIN BROWN is the curator of the Alexander Fleming Museum at St.

Marys Hospital, Paddington and an expert on the history of medicine.


He is the author of Fighting Fit and Poxed & Scurvied.

BLOCKADE

Cruiser Warfare and the Starvation of Germany


in World War One
By Steve R. Dunn
Blockade is the story of a long-running trade battle at sea between
Britain and Germany during the First World War. Each country
fought for survival, but this book focuses on the story of the Northern
Barrage and the 10th Cruiser Squadron.
The Royal Navys role during World War I denying Germany access
to the sea, trade, and vital resources was crucial to helping Britain
win the war on the Western Front. The Northern Blockade, located
across the inhospitable waters between Iceland and Scotland, was to
bring the German economy to its knees and destroy her home front
morale. Likewise, the Royal Navys success in negating Germanys
attacks on British commerce prevented much suffering in Britain.
Steve Dunn vividly describes the final destruction of German surface
vessel commerce warfare. He examines the American reaction to
the British naval blockade and to Germanys war on trade as well as
Germanys treatment of American sailors taken prisoner. Dunn also
considers changes in strategy employed by both sides.
Blockade brings to life the experiences of those who manned the
blockade and creates a vivid picture of the dangers of duty in this
highly significant, but overlooked aspect of World War I.
STEVE R. DUNN has a special interest in the Royal Navy of the late

Victorian, Edwardian, and First World War eras. He is the author of


The Scapegoat, The Coward?, and the story of the first British battleship,
Formidable, to be sunk by a torpedo. He lives in Worcestershire and
southwest France.

HUNTERS AND KILLERS

Volume 2: Anti-Submarine Warfare


from 1943
By Norman Polmar and Edward Whitman
As a stand-alone work, volume 1 of Norman Polmar
and Edward Whitmans Hunters and Killers is the
most valuable and comprehensive work on the subject of
anti-submarine warfare (ASW) to date. When volume
2 is released, the complete set will become the standard
reference for every aspect of ASW from 1775 to the end of
the Cold War. Dwight R. Messimer, author of Find
and Destroy: Antisubmarine Warfare in World War I
Hunters and Killers is a comprehensive two-volume
history of all aspects of Anti-Submarine Warfare
(ASW), covering its beginnings in the late 18th Century through the important role of present anti-submarine systems and operations. The first volume discusses
ASW operations up to World War II, ending in early
1943, and this second volume continues from 1943
to the present. In addition to tactical and strategic
narratives of major ASW campaigns, this work covers
the evolution of ASW sensors, weapons, platforms,
and tactics.
The second volume of Hunters and Killers begins at the
turning point of the Battle of the Atlantic, when Allied
efforts forced the U-boats to withdraw from the North
Atlantic. With cryptologic breakthroughs, growing
numbers of escort and long-range patrol aircraft, and
new weapons, the Allied anti-submarine advantage
mounted quickly. In the Pacific theater, Polmar and
Whitman consider the often-overlooked ASW advances that the Japanese made during World War II.

Turning to the Cold War, the authors examine the

both the West and the Soviet Union. The superpowers during this era developed submarines armed with
nuclear weapons, and each created techniques to counter the intensified submarine threats. Polmar and Whitman discuss the extensive anti-submarine
aspects of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Falklands Conflict, and consider ASW developments into the early 21st Century.
The second volume of Hunters and Killers completes the most in-depth history of ASW ever published. Written by two of the most knowledgeable
scholars on the subject, it is a must own for anyone interested in naval history.
NORMAN POLMAR is an analyst, consultant, and author specializing in naval, aviation, and science and technology issues. He has been a consultant
or advisor on naval-related issues to three U.S. senators, the Speaker of the House, and the Deputy Counselor to the President, as well as to the
Director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. He has written or coauthored more than fifty published books and numerous articles on naval,
aviation, technology, and intelligence subjects.
EDWARD WHITMAN studied electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and later earned a PhD in that field from the University

of Maryland. During his 40-year Navy civilian career, Dr. Whitman held senior management positions in various Navy and Department of Defense
organizations, including the Sixth Fleet, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the Office of the Secretary of the Navy. After
retiring from the Department of the Navy in 1998, Dr. Whitman served as the senior editor of the magazine Undersea Warfare for several years.

Since it began in 1845, the


U.S. Naval Academy has faced
many challenges as it continually strives to find the right
figurative balance between
Athens and Sparta. This edition of Chronicles recalls
many of those challenges as
they appeared in Naval Institute publications for most of
the Academys existence.

Since its founding one hundred years ago, Navy Reserve


sailors have served in every
conflict from World War I to
the present. The exploits of
the U.S. Navy Reserve have
many times been chronicled
in the pages of Proceedings and
Naval History. This edition of
Chronicles culls articles and
excerpts from that vast library.

The Worlds Leading Naval and Military Publisher since 1898.

Edited by Thomas J. Cutler. Command is the


pinnacle of leadership in a military organization. Navy regulations define both the
authority and the responsibility of command
as absolute. This Wheel Book offers practical
guidance and advice that actual and would-be
commanders can use to carry out that absolute
authority.

Edited by Thomas J. Cutler. The Naval Institute


has devoted countless pages of its publications
to the subject of naval leadership, providing
start-up guidance to neophytes, giving voice
to the accumulated wisdom and experience of
those who have led, and serving as a forum in
search of answers to the many questions that
have always been a part of this vital but sometimes elusive practice.

Edited by Capt. Wayne P. Hughes Jr., USN


(Ret.) This collection sheds a bright light
on this sometimes dark and mysterious but
unquestionably essential realm, illuminating
the principles and concepts of tactics that serve
the warrior at the most critical moments.
