stars. The Halsey-Doolittle Raid; the Battles of Midway,
Santa Cruz, Guadalcanal, the Philippine Sea, and Leyte
Gulf; and the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa are all faithfully recorded from the viewpoint of the men who served her so well.
This superb study of a great ship, her crew, and the action they saw has been called one of the finest pieces of naval writing to emerge from the
war. Author Edward Stafford mined genuine nuggets from the mountain of research and lengthy interviews he conducted to write this book. He
answers questions such as: What was it like to be inside the cockpit of a Dauntless dive bomber as it bored in on its target or what kind effort was
required to unstick the ships huge rudder when it was damaged by a bomb? Literate and scholarly as well as highly dramatic, the book will appeal
to historians and the general public alike.
CDR. EDWARD PEARY STAFFORD, USN (RET.) (19182013) was a naval aviator. He wrote for Naval History and Proceedings, as well as for National
Geographic. He is best known for The Big E and four other books on naval history: Subchaser; Little Ship, Big War; The Saga of DE-343, and The

FREMANTLES SUBMARINES
How Allied Submariners and Western Australians

Helped to Win the War in the Pacific
By Michael Sturma
From unpromising beginnings in March 1942, the Allied submarine
base at Fremantle on the west coast of Australia became a vital part of
the Allied offensive against Japan. Pushed back from the Philippines
and the Netherlands East Indies, American submariners, accompanied
by a small group of Dutch forces, retreated to Fremantle as a last resort.
The location was chosen for its good harbor and the fact that it was
outside the range of land-based Japanese aircraft. Unfortunately the
base was also far from their patrol areas and supply lines, and it was
difficult to reinforce should the enemy attack. Thanks largely to a
welcoming civilian population, morale quickly improved. Perhaps as
a result of such a positive experience, the Allied forces became much
more successful in combat. Intertwining social and military history,
Fremantles Submarines relates how courage, cooperation, and community made Fremantle arguably the most successful military outpost
of World War II from the standpoint of troop morale.

NO ONE AVOIDED DANGER
NAS Kaneohe Bay and the Japanese Attack

of 7 December 1941
By J. Michael Wenger, Robert J. Cressman,
and John F. Di Virgilio
No One Avoided Danger is a detailed combat narrative of
the 7 December 1941 Japanese attacks on NAS Kaneohe
Bay, one of two naval air stations on the island of Oahu
in Hawaii. Partly because of Kaneohes location15 air
miles over a mountain range from the main site of that
days infamous attack on Pearl Harbormilitary historians
have largely ignored the stations story. Moreover, there is an
understandable tendency to focus on the massive destruction sustained by the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The attacks on NAS
Kaneohe Bay, however, were equally destructive and no
less disastrous, notwithstanding the stations considerable
distance from the harbor.
The work focuses on descriptions of actions in the air and
on the ground at the deepest practical, personal, and tactical
level, from both the American and Japanese perspectives.
Such a synthesis is possible only by pursuing every conceivable source of American documents, reminiscences,
interviews, and photographs. Similarly, the authors sought
out Japanese accounts and photography from the attacks,
many appearing in print for the first time. Information from
the Japanese air group and aircraft carrier action reports has
never before been used.

On the American side, the authors also have researched

the Official Military Personnel Files at the National
Personnel Records Center and National Archives in St.
Louis, Missouri, extracting service photographs and details
of the military careers of American officers and men. The authors are among the first historians to be allowed access to previously unused service
records. The authors likewise delved into the background and personalities of key Japanese participants, and have translated and incorporated the
Japanese aircrew rosters from the attack.
This accumulation of data and information makes possible an intricate and highly integrated story that is unparalleled. The interwoven narratives
of both sides provide a deeper understanding of the events near Kneohe Bay than any previous history.

SHIPS FOR
ALL NATIONS
John Brown & Company

Clydebank, 18471971
By Ian Johnston
The Clydebank shipyard built some of the
most famous vessels in maritime history. Its
heritage boasts of great transatlantic liners
like Lusitania, Queen Mary, and QE2, as
well as iconic warships like the battlecruiser
Hood, and Britains last battleship, HMS
Vanguard. Beginning as J & G Thomson
in 1847, the business acquired its more
famous persona when Sheffield-based
steelmaker John Brown & Co took over
in 1899. As a result, the yard became known
for turning out first-class products, both
naval and mercantile.
IAN JOHNSTON was brought up in a shipbuilding family, although he has made his
career in graphic design. A lifetimes interest in ships and shipbuilding has borne
fruit in a number of publications, most
recently Clydebank Battlecruisers and A
Shipyard at War.
VERY SPECIAL SHIPS

Abdiel-Class Fast Minelayers
of World War Two
By Arthur C. Nicholson
Very Special Ships is the first full-length
book about the Abdiel-class fast minelayers, which were considered the fastest and
most versatile to serve in the Royal Navy
during World War II. This book spans the
scope of the class from alpha to zulu as they
operated in many roles, most famously as
blockade runners to Malta, transporting
items as diverse as ammunition, condensed milk, gold, and VIPs. To provide
a complete picture of this important class
of ships, Very Special Ships examines the
origin and history of the minelayers,
describes the design and construction of
each ship in the class, details the operational history of the ships during World War II,
and concludes with the post-war careers of
the surviving ships.

WARSHIPS AFTER
WASHINGTON
The Development of the Five

Major Fleets, 19221930
By John Jordan
The Washington Treaty of 1922 was a
watershed event designed to head off a
potentially dangerous arms race between
the major naval powers. The terms of the
treaty included an agreement to legally
bind limits on the number and size of principal warship types, effectively banning
the construction of new battleships for a
decade. While the basics of the treaty are
understood by a specific audience with an
interest in warships, the wider context of
the treaty and the detailed ramifications
of its provisions are less understood. Now
available in paperback, Warships After
Washington is unique in its coverage of
the political and strategic background of
the treaty, providing specific analysis of
how the navies of Britain, the U.S., Japan,
France, and Italy responded.
JOHN JORDAN is the editor of the Warship
annual and author of numerous other books

including French Battleships, 19221956.

A CONFEDERATE BIOGRAPHY
The Cruise of the CSS Shenandoah
By Dwight Sturtevant Hughes
From October 1864 to November 1865, the officers of the CSS
Shenandoah carried the Confederacy and the conflict of the Civil
War around the globe through extreme weather, alien surroundings,
and the people they encountered. Her officers were the descendants of
Deep South plantation aristocracy and Old Dominion first families: a
nephew of Robert E. Lee, a grandnephew of founder George Mason,
and descendants of one of George Washingtons generals and of an aid
to Washington. One was even an uncle of a young Theodore Roosevelt
and another was son-in-law to Raphael Semmes.
Shenandoahs missioncommerce raiding (guerre de course)was a
central component of U.S. naval and maritime heritage, a profitable
business, and a watery form of guerrilla warfare. These Americans stood
in defense of their country as they understood it, pursuing a difficult
and dangerous mission in which they succeeded spectacularly after it
no longer mattered. This is a biography of a ship and a cruise, and a
microcosm of the Confederate-American experience.
THE BRIDGE TO AIRPOWER
Logistics Support for Royal Flying Corps

Operations on the Western Front, 191418
By Peter Dye
In the latest addition to the History of Military Aviation series,
Peter Dye describes how the development of the air weapon on the
Western Front during World War I required a radical and unprecedented change in the way that national resources were employed
to exploit a technological opportunity. World War I has long been
recognized as an industrial war that consumed vast amounts of
materiel and where logistical superiority gave the Allies an overwhelming advantage. The Bridge to Air Power is the first study that
demonstrates how logistical competence provided a war-winning
advantage for the Royal Flying Corps, the precursor to the Royal
Air Force. In particular, it highlights how the Corps logistical
organization was able to maintain high levels of resilience and
agility while sustaining military outputs under widely different
operational conditions.
PETER DYE is a graduate of Imperial College London and Birming-

HMS PICKLE
The Swiftest Ship in Nelsons

Fleet at Trafalgar
By Peter Hore
Foreword by Andrew Lambert
The smallest ship in Nelsons fleet at the
Battle of Trafalgar was the curiously-named
HMS Pickle. The ship was a topsail schooner and, though deemed too small to take
part in the fighting, she distinguished
herself as the ship that brought to Britain
the news of Admiral Nelsons victory at
Trafalgar and subsequent death. Captain
Peter Hore provides a complete history
of HMS Pickle, from her beginnings as
a civilian vessel called Sting, through her
10-gun conversion to a warship, and then
on to her subsequent demise when she
ran aground in 1808 as she entered Cadiz
harbor. The Pickles journey is commemorated each year during Pickle Night festivities by warrant officers of the Royal Navy
on November 5th.

symbol of the Royal Navys greatest battle
off Cape Trafalgar. In doing so, he answers
questions such as What types of wood
were used in building Victory? What was
her longest voyage? When did her career
as a fighting ship come to an end? The
book also includes pertinent and varied
selections of contemporary documents and
records to explain the day-to-day running
of a three-decker Georgian warship.

TUDOR WARSHIP
MARY ROSE
By Douglas McElvogue
A new selection in the Anatomy of the

is a unique insight into the architecture
and construction of the iconic ship of the
Tudor period. This comprehensive reference includes over 200 scale drawings
detailing every part of the ship's interior
and exterior from heel to masthead. As
with other books in the series, Tudor
Warship Mary Rose is a radical departure
from the usual monograph approach,
instead providing conventional ship plans
as well as explanatory perspective views
with fully descriptive keys. This book will
surely appeal to model makers, historians,

TORCH
North Africa and the Allied Path to Victory

By Vincent P. OHara
World War II had many superlatives, but none like
Operation Torcha series of simultaneous amphibious
landings, audacious commando and paratroop assaults,
and the Atlantics biggest naval battle, fought across a
two thousand mile span of coastline in French North
Africa. The risk was enormous, the scale breathtaking,
the preparations rushed, the training inadequate, and the
ramifications profound.
Torch was the first combined Allied offensive and key
to how the Second World War unfolded politically and
militarily. Nonetheless, historians have treated the subject
lightly, perhaps because of its many ambiguities. As a surprise invasion of a neutral nation, it recalled German attacks
against countries like Belgium, Norway, and Yugoslavia.
The operations rationale was to aid Russia but did not
do this. It was supposed to get Americans troops into the
fight against Germany but did so only because it failed to
achieve its short-term military goals. There is still debate
whether Torch advanced the fight against the Axis, or
was a wasteful dispersion of Allied strength and actually
prolonged the war.
Torch: North Africa and the Allied Path to Victory is a
fresh look at this complex and controversial operation.
The book covers the fierce Anglo-American dispute about
the operation and charts how it fits into the evolution of
amphibious warfare. It recounts the story of the fighting,
focusing on the five landingsPort Lyautey, Fdala, and
Safi in Morocco, and Oran and Algiers in Algeriaand
includes air and ground actions from the initial assault to
the repulse of Allied forces on the outskirts of Tunis. Torch

also considers the operations context within the larger war
and it incorporates the French perspective better than any
Hardcover: $49.95 | ISBN: 978-1-61251-823-7
English-language work on the subject. It shows how Torch
brought France, as a power, back into the Allied camp; how
it forced the English and the Americans to work together as true coalitions partners and forge a coherent amphibious doctrine. These skills were
then applied to subsequent operations in the Mediterranean, in the English Channel, and in the Pacific. The story of how this was accomplished
is the story of how the Allies brought their power to bear on the enemys continental base and won World War II.
VINCENT P. OHARA is an independent scholar and the author of nine works including five published by the Naval Institute Press, most recently To
Crown the Waves. His articles have appeared in the Naval War College Review, Warship, MHQ, Storia Militare, and other periodicals and journals.
He holds a history degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

AMERICA SPREADS HER SAILS
EMBASSY TO THE EASTERN COURTS
Compiled and edited by Clayton R. Barrow, Jr.
By Andrew C. A. Jampoler
In this new paperback edition of America Spreads Her Sails, fourteen

writers and historians demonstrate how American men and goods
in American-made ships moved out over Alfred Thayer Mahans
broad common, the sea, to extend the countrys commerce, power,
political influence, and culture. Capt. Thomas ap Catesby Jones, Lt.
John Mad Jack Percival, and Comm. Matthew Calbraith Perry
are among some of the colorful names that many will recognize.
They are all gone now, these strong men and their stout ships, who
carried their countrys colors up to the Northern Lights, down to the
Antarctics stillness, over the cutting coral, across the Roaring Forties,
and into the great ports and the backwaters of the world. The results
of their adventures, however, are not forgotten, but instead set the
stage for America to indisputably become the dominant world power
of the past century.
In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, the U.S. found its merchants and traders locked out of their traditional markets in Europe
and the Caribbean. Hoping for new and profitable American trade
relationships, President Andrew Jackson dispatched an unemployed
ship-owner and merchant with no diplomatic experience on a
secret mission to negotiate with Eastern potentates in their courts.
Edmund Roberts mission was to formalize American trade with
these exotic placesOman, Siam, Cochin China, and Japanon a
most favored nation basis, allowing for American consuls to openly
advance and protect American interests and citizens in their host
country. After sailing almost 70,000 miles in five years in the ill-fated
USS Peacock, Roberts was successful in negotiating treaties with
Oman and Siam, but he failed in Cochin China, and he died before
setting sail to Japan. Peacock, first flagship of the Navys new East
Indies Squadron, forerunner of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, outlived him
by only a few years.

THE BRITISH CARRIER

STRIKE FLEET
A Photographic Archive
By David Hobbs
By R. A. Burt
David Hobbs looks at the post-World War

II fortunes of the most powerful fleet in
the Royal Navyits decline in the face of
diminishing resources, its final fall at the
hands of ignorant politicians, and its recent
resurrection in the form of the Queen Elizabeth class carriers, the largest ships ever built
for the Royal Navy. Despite prophecies that
nuclear weapons would make conventional
forces obsolete, British carrier-borne aircraft were almost continuously employed.
This book combines narratives of poorly
understood operations with clear analysis
of their strategic and political background.
With beautiful illustrations and original
research, British Carrier Strike Fleet tells
an important but largely untold story of
renewed significance as Britain once again
embraces carrier operation.
This unprecedented photographic collection contains 125 stunning black and white
photographs of the battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The remarkable images,
some very rare, constitute an archive that
is almost without equal in the West. The
book begins with the launch of Japans first
contemporary battleship, Yashima, and
concludes with the final destruction of the
fleet in the Pacific in 1945. In between these
two milestones, Japan constructed the third
largest navy in the world. All of the fleets
dreadnoughts saw action in World War II
but only the Nagato survived the conflict.
She subsequently became a test target in
the Bikini A-bomb tests in 1946.

WHERE YOUTH AND

LAUGHTER GO
With The Cutting Edge in Afghanistan

By LtCol Seth W. B. Folsom, USMC
Where Youth and Laughter Go completes LtCol Seth
Folsoms recounting of his personal experiences in command over a decade of war. It is the culminating chapter
of a trilogy that began with The Highway War: A Marine
Company Commander in Iraq in 2006 and continued with
In the Gray Area: A Marine Advisor Team at War in 2010.
The chronicle of Folsoms command of 3rd Battalion, 7th
Marine Regiment, The Cutting Edge, and his harrowing deployment to Afghanistans volatile Sangin District
presents a deeper look into the complexities and perils
of modern counterinsurgency operations in Americas
longest war. Charged with the daunting task of pacifying
a region with a long history of violence and instability,
Folsom and his Marines struggled daily to wage a dynamic
campaign against the shadowy enemy force that held
Sangins population firmly in its grip. With peace and
stability always teetering on the brink of collapse, the
Marines of The Cutting Edge confronted their own
mortality as they conducted endless patrols through
Sangins minefields while fighting to win the hearts and
minds of the Afghan villagers.
No other books have been published from the perspective
of a Marine infantry battalion commander in Afghanistan.
It was Folsoms job, as the unit commander, to lead his
Marines under impossible circumstances. LtCol Folsom

THE THREE MUSKETEERS OF THE

ARMY AIR FORCES
From Hitler's Fortress Europa to Hiroshima
and Nagasaki
By Robert O. Harder
While scores of books have been published about the atomic
bombings that helped end World War II, little has been written
about the personal lives and relationship of the three men that led
the raids. Paul Tibbets, Tom Ferebee, and Ted Dutch Van Kirk
exemplified what Life Magazine meant when in 1942 it called the
B-17 pilot, bombardier, and navigator the three musketeers of the
Army Air Forces. A former navigator-bombardier and pilot himself, Harder brings a fresh perspective to an otherwise well-known
narrative. He provides a rare insiders look at exactly who these
three fellows were, how they were trained, what they meant to each
other, and finally how everything coalesced into the Hiroshima and
Nagasaki attacks.
ROBERT O. HARDER was an Air Force ROTC Distinguished Mil-
itary Graduate and Strategic Air Command Cold War B-52D

aircrewman with 145 combat missions during the Vietnam War.
A rated navigator and radar bombardier, he also flew nuclear
training sorties and stood Pad Alert. A former business executive,
he is an FAA-certificated flight instructor and writer. His previous book, Flying from the Black Hole: The B-52 Navigator-Bombardiers of Vietnam was first published by the Naval Institute
Press in 2009.

SKY SHIPS
A History of the Airship in the United States, 25th

Anniversary Edition
By William F. Althoff
Originally published in 1990, Sky Ships is easily the most comprehensive history of U.S. Navy airships ever written. The Naval Institute
Press is releasing this new edition complete with two hundred new
photographsto commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
books publication.
Impressed by Germanys commercial and military Zeppelins, the
United States initiated its own airship program in 1915. Naval Air
Station Lakehurst in New Jersey was homeport for several of the
largest machines ever to navigate the air. The success of the commercial
rigid airship peaked in 1936 with transatlantic round trips between
Central Europe and the Americas by Hindenburg and by Graf Zeppelinending with the infamous fire in 1937. That setback, the onset
of war, and the accelerated progress of heavier-than-air technology
ended rigid airship development. The Navy continued to use blimps to
protect Allied shipping during World War II. Following the war, the
Navy persisted with efforts to integrate the airships, but the program
was finally discontinued in the early 1960s.
WILLIAM F. ALTHOFF is a geologist and historian of naval aviation
and science in the Arctic. His publications include scientific papers,

articles, and six books. He was Ramsey Fellow in Naval Aviation
History at the National Air and Space Museum in 19992000 and
then research associate in 200002.

BEFORE THE IRONCLAD
FRENCH DESTROYERS
By David K. Brown
By John Jordan and Jean Moulin
When first published in 1990 Before the

Ironclad was highly regarded and wholly
unique. Browns work challenged old
assumptions and started a reevaluation
of British contributions to naval developments of the period. This book traces
the transition from sail to steam power
to the construction of the HMS Warrior,
the first iron hulled warship, and this
new edition will feature more extensive
illustrations. Written by an eminent naval
architect, Before the Ironclad is both a balanced account of general developments in
shipbuilding and an in-depth study of the
ships themselves.
Between the world wars, France produced

some of the largest and fastest destroyers
in the world. Known as Contre-Torpilleurs,
these striking and innovative super-destroyers and the more conventional Torpilleurs
dEscadre are the focus of this book. The
first part of the book covers the design of
these ships, pairing the text with detailed
data tables, specially-drawn plans and schemas, and photographs of the ships. The
second half details the eventful careers of
these ships and contains contemporary
photographs and maps commissioned
specifically for this book.
DAVID K. BROWN was a warship designer
ship annual. He has written other books

on French battleships and cruisers. JEAN
MOULIN, his collaborator, is a leading

books and monographs on the ships of the

FRENCH WARSHIPS
IN THE AGE OF SAIL,
17861862
Design, Construction,
Careers and Fates
By Rif Winfield and
Stephen S. Roberts
In 1786 the French navy had just emerged
from its most successful war of the eighteenth century, and the reputation of its
ship design and fighting skills never stood
higher. Though the effects of the French
Revolution would devastate the navys
efficiency, the French would go on to produce some of the most advanced, innovative ships of the age. This book contains an
abundance of information on the construction and careers of each of these marvelous
ships. The result of such detail is the first
concise, clear resource on the development
of French warships in the latter half of the
sailing era.
RIF WINFIELD is the author of the series Brit-
ish Warships in the Age of Sail, as well as a

number of other highly regarded books on

FROM VERSAILLES TO
MERS EL-KBIR
The Promise of Anglo-French Naval Cooperation,

191940
By George E. Melton
This book concerns itself with one of the most unlikely relationships
in the two decades before World War II: the alliance of the Royal Navy
and the French fleet. By the mid 1930s, both fleets had overextended
themselves with global defense commitments, owing mainly to the
collapse of the world war alliances and to an ominous shift in the
balance of world naval power. To maximize their power, England and
France combined their assets in a naval alliance. The union was not an
altogether happy one, but it survived in one form or another until the
British attack upon the French fleet at Mers el-Kbir in 1940. George
E. Melton brings new insights to the diplomacy that led to this often
strained cooperation, and reinterprets some of the most important
events of early World War II.
GOD AND SEA POWER
The Influence of Religion on Alfred Thayer Mahan

By Suzanne Geissler
Gallons of ink have been used analyzing Adm. Alfred Thayer Mahans thoughts, his naval theories, and his contribution to sea power.
One vital aspect of his life, however, has been ignored or misunderstood by many scholars: his religious faith. Mahan was a professing
Christian who took his faith with the utmost seriousness, and as a
result, his worldview was inherently Christian. He wrote and spoke
extensively on religious issues, a point frequently ignored by many
historians. This is a fundamental mistake, for a deeper and more
accurate understanding of Mahan as a person and as a naval theorist
can be gained by a meaningful examination of his religious beliefs.
God and Sea Power is the first work to examine in a detailed and contextual way how Mahans faith influenced his views on war, politics,
and foreign relations.

LION IN THE BAY
The British Invasion of the Chesapeake,

181314
By Stanley L. Quick with Chipp Reid
The story of Fort McHenrys defense during the War of
1812 is well known, but Lion in the Bay is an intimate
look at the events leading up to the battle that inspired our
national anthem. As the War of 1812 raged on the high seas
and along the Canadian border, the British decided to strike
at the heart of the United States, the relatively undefended
area of the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake was a fertile
farm region, a place of renowned shipbuilding, and an
area politically divided over the war. Plus, if the British
succeeded in taking the bay, the nations capital was not far
away. Admiral George Cockburn led the British into the
bay following a failed attempt to take Norfolk, Virginia.
Originally intended to relieve pressure on other fronts, the
Chesapeake theater became a British campaign of retribution for the burning of York (present day Toronto) by the
Americans in 1812. As a result, the Chesapeake region,
once an economic engine for America, was transformed
into a region of terrorized citizens, destroyed farms, and
fears of slave insurrection.
In August 1814, President James Madison refused to bolster
the defenses on the waterway that led to Washington, and
the British took advantage. Cockburn again led a naval
force into the bay, this time running into opposition from
Commo. Joshua Barney and his Chesapeake Bay Flotilla.
Barney put up a heroic, though doomed fight before the
British sailed up the Patuxent River and landed at Benedict,
Maryland, where over 4,000 troops disembarked to begin
their advance toward Washington, D.C.
After defeating the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg,

There, the British armada encountered a stalwart group of
American defenders at Fort McHenry. Despite a massive
bombardment, Baltimores defenses held, forcing the British to abandon their campaign to close the Chesapeake. More than just an in-depth look
at one front of the War of 1812, Lion in the Bay is a story of resilience and triumph in the wake of catastrophe.
The late STANLEY QUICK served on active duty in the U.S. Navy from 194447 before working for many years as a naval architect and civilian
engineer. He received his PhD from Brooklyn Polytechnic in 1963 and began a long career with Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Upon his
retirement in 1985, Dr. Quick formed his own company, Man-Tech Associates Inc., a consulting firm in management and technical programs. He

PRACTISE TO DECEIVE
WHEN THE MEN GO OFF TO WAR
By Barton Whaley
By Victoria Kelly
Written by the undisputed dean of U.S. denial and deception experts,

Practise to Deceive is the most in-depth look at deception as a military
strategy. Barton Whaley knew the history of denial and deception
across time, disciplines, and culture. He was the foremost authority
on the intricacies of denial and deception strategy and tactics. For
Whaley, deception was a mind-game, requiring imagination, deep
critical thought, a profound understanding of the enemy as well as
ones self (a variation of Sun Tzu), and patience and fortitude.
Collecting the nationally-recognized poems of Victoria Kelly, When

the Men Go Off to War captures the hopes, anxieties, and intimacies of
the military spouse during a time of war. Written over the course of her
husbands deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan, these haunting poems
span vast geographical distances and generations, moving between the
literal and the fanciful to find community in the midst of isolation.
Kelly blends lyric and narrative elements to evoke themes of loneliness
and human fragility with keen insight. But ultimately, When the Men
Go Off to War is a heartrending ode to enduring romance and the
reclamation of a marriage tested by loss and separation.
Learning Curves of Military Deception Planners

Introduction by Denis Clift, Edited by Susan Stratton Aykroyd
This book presents 88 vividly descriptive case studies to serve as a

handbook for intelligence and military professionals. In Whaleys
analysis, variations in guilefulness between opposing individuals or
groups can be crucial in deciding who achieves victory in combat.
BARTON WHALEY received his bachelor of arts in Chinese studies from
the University of California, Berkeley before serving with the intelligence section of U.S. Army Psychological Warfare headquartered in
Tokyo during the Korean War. Following the war, he attended London
University School of Oriental and African Studies before receiving his
PhD at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was affiliated with

HUNTERS AND KILLERS
Volume 1: Anti-Submarine Warfare from

1776 to 1943
By Norman Polmar and Edward Whitman
Hunters and Killers is the first comprehensive history of
all aspects of anti-submarine warfare (ASW) from its
beginnings in the 18th century through the important
role of present anti-submarine systems and operations.
Published in two volumes, the work discusses anti-submarine warfare operations in World War I, World War
II, the Cold War, and today. In addition to tactical
and strategic narratives of major ASW campaigns, the
work covers the evolution of ASW sensors, weapons,
platforms, and tactics.
This first volume looks at the often ignored reaction to
the earliest submersible attack on British warships in
1776 to the first, primitive ASW actions of World War
I. World War I saw the Germans use U-boats to devastate British shipping, nearly driving the country out of
the war. Here the authors look at the development of
the innovative, but rudimentary sensors and weapons
that the Allies used to counter the U-boat threats in
the Atlantic and Mediterranean theaters.
Still, the U-boats were never completely defeated in
the Great War, and the ensuing chapters about the
two decades between the world wars narrate the development of sonar, radar, and ASW ships, as well as
changing political attitudes toward undersea warfare.

The remainder of the first volume covers the first half of

World War IIs Battle of the Atlantic, from September
1939 to the U-boat crisis in the spring of 1943. This
section discusses the influence of intelligence, gained
mainly through cryptography, on the Battle of the Atlantic.
Polmar and Whitman have created a thorough, well-researched reference for anyone interested in the development of ASW.
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

THE SAILORS HOMER
The Life and Times of Richard McKenna,

Author of The Sand Pebbles
By Dennis L. Noble
There are virtually no biographies of naval enlisted personnel, making Dennis L. Nobles book wholly unique. Richard
McKenna was an enlisted sailor for twenty-two years, from
the late 1930s to the end of the Korean War. Like most of
his shipmates, he was one of many faceless enlisted sailors.
McKenna, who eventually became a writer, did not hide
the fact that, like the proverbial sailor, he enjoyed going
ashore to such colorful-sounding establishments in China
as Nagasaki Joes. Nor did he hide his interest in Japanese
and Chinese women.
While all of this would seem to indicate McKenna had
become the stereotypical enlisted sailor, he did not fit neatly
into this niche. Two important qualities made McKenna
stand out among the many enlisted sailors. The first was
his indomitable will, his desire to rise up against seemingly
great odds and continue onward even when events seemed
to conspire against him. The average person might have
given up and moved on without trying to overcome the
many adversities placed in their path. The second distinguishing quality was his desire to be educated and to write.
McKenna set out to record his experiences in a novel. His
love of machinery, his acceptance by the sailors he served
with, his experiences ashore with crews at their normal
haunts, his interest in other cultures, and his natural intelligence all influenced his writing. For the first time readers
could understand the typical life of a sailor. His book, The
Sand Pebbles, became a classic in naval literature and a major
motion picture starring Steve McQueen in 1966.

the sea services. The Sailors Homer, in addition to giving
context to McKennas writings, includes his short story
Hour of Panic, which is difficult to find in its entirety. This biography offers more than just a frame for McKennas work. It provides a fuller
perspective on the life of all enlisted sailors of his era, showcasing the oft-forgotten good alongside the bad. Cdr. Thomas Cutler, USN (Ret.),
author of A Sailor's History of the U.S. Navy, best sums up Richard McKennas life and work: they are a virtual training ground for those who must
encounter other cultures in their travels and a study in human character with a particular relevance to those who wear uniforms.
DENNIS L. NOBLE entered the enlisted force of the U.S. Coast Guard in 1957 and retired as a senior chief marine science technician in 1978. Upon

Numerous successful reprints of contemporary works on rigging and
seamanship indicate the breadth of interest in the lost art of handling
square-rigged ships. Model makers, marine painters, and enthusiasts
need to know not only how the ships were rigged but how much sail
was set in each condition of wind and sea, how the various maneuvers
were carried out, and the intricacies of operations like reefing sails or
catting an anchor.
John Harland has provided what is undeniably the most thorough
book on handling square-rigged ships. Because of his facility in a
remarkable range of languages, Harland has been able to study virtually
every manual published over the past four centuries on the subject.
As a result, he is able to present for the first time a proper historical

SAILOR IN THE
WHITE HOUSE
The Seafaring Life of FDR

By Robert F. Cross
Now available in paperback, Robert F.
Cross Sailor in the White House remains
one of the most interesting and intimate
books about Franklin D. Roosevelt. Secret
Service agents, family, and old sailing pals
share stories about their days on the water
with Americas greatest seafaring president.
The author argues that the skills required
to be a good sailor are the same skills that
made FDR a successful politician: the ability to alter courses, make compromises, and
shift positions as the situation warrants.
This perspective on Roosevelt shows how
his love of the sea shaped his presidency,
and its unique look remains refreshing
even today.
ROBERT F. CROSS is a trustee of the USS
Slater, the last destroyer escort still afloat

INSTITUTE ON NAVAL
INNOVATION
Edited by John E. Jackson
Technological changes are inevitable, often
of great benefit, and they must be understood by all maritime leaders. Since the
Navys beginnings, it has created, adapted,
rejected, and sometimes grudgingly accepted new technologies. This entry into the
Wheel Book series considers the nature of
technological innovation in the U.S. Navy,
and it discusses the manner in which the
Navy is currently adopting new technologies like robotic and autonomous systems,
CYBER, and LASERS.
CAPT. JOHN E. JACKSON, USN (RET) is
manager of the Chief of Naval Operations

Professional Reading Program and a professor of unmanned and robotic systems
at the U.S. Naval War College. He holds
a masters degree in education from Providence College, and a masters degree in
management from Salve Regina University.
He is also a graduate of the Management
Development Program at Harvard University and is a doctoral candidate at Salve

STRIKING THE HORNETS NEST

Naval Aviation and the Origins of Strategic
Bombing in World War I
By Geoffrey L. Rossano and
Thomas Wildenberg
Striking the Hornets Nest provides the first extensive analysis
of the Northern Bombing Group (NBG), the Navys most
innovative aviation initiative of World War I and one of the
worlds first dedicated strategic bombing programs. Very
little has been written about the Navys aviation activities
in World War I and even less on the NBG. Standard studies
of strategic bombing tend to focus on developments in the
Royal Air Force or the U.S. Army Air Service.
This work concentrates on the origins of strategic bombing in World War I, and the influence this phenomenon
had on the Navys future use of the airplane. The NBG
program faced enormous logistical and personnel challenges. Demands for aircraft, facilities, and personnel were
daunting, and shipping shortages added to the seemingly
endless delays in implementing the program.
Despite the impediments, the Navy (and Marine Corps)
triumphed over organizational hurdles and established a
series of bases and depots in northern France and southern
England in the late summer and early fall of 1918. Ironically,
by the time the Navy was ready to commence bombing missions, the German retreat had caused abandonment of the
submarine bases the NBG had been created to attack. The
men involved in this program were pioneers, overcoming
major obstacles only to find they were no longer needed.
Though the Navy rapidly abandoned its use of strategic
bombing after World War I, their brief experimentation
directed the future use of aircraft in other branches of the

NBG program in 1918, spent the entire period of World
War II as Assistant Secretary of War for Air where he played
a crucial role organizing and equipping the strategic bombing campaign unleashed against Germany and Japan. Rossano and Wildenberg have
provided a definitive study of the NBG, a subject that has been overlooked for too long.
GEOFFREY L. ROSSANO is a graduate of Tufts University and the University of North Carolina and an instructor of history at the Salisbury School
in Salisbury, Connecticut. He is the author and editor of many articles and books, including Stalking the U-Boat: U.S. Naval Aviation in Europe
during World War I, which won the 2010 Roosevelt Prize in Naval History.
THOMAS WILDENBERG is an independent historian and scholar with special interests in aviators, naval aviation, and technological innovation in
the military. He has written extensively about the U.S. Navy during the interwar period, and his writings have appeared in a variety of scholarly
journals including the Naval War College Review, Proceedings, and Air Power History. His books on naval history include, Destined for Glory,

AN UNTAKEN ROAD
Strategy, Technology, and the Hidden History

of Americas Mobile ICBMs
By Steven A. Pomeroy
Steven A. Pomeroy has authored the first history of the American
mobile intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a technology the
United States spent four decades and billions of dollars creating but
never deployed. An Untaken Road showcases how the evolution
of a technology that ultimately never existed and the politics that
surrounded it end up significantly shaping American nuclear strategy
and forces for decades.
THE OTHER SPACE RACE
Eisenhower and the Quest for Aerospace Security

By Nicholas Michael Sambaluk
The Other Space Race is a unique look at the early U.S. space program
and how it both shaped and was shaped by politics during the Cold
War. Eisenhowers New Look expanded the role of the Air Force
in national security, and ultimately allowed ambitious aerospace
projects, namely the Dyna-Soar, a bomber equipped with nuclear
weapons that would operate in space. Eisenhowers space policy was
purely practical, creating a strong deterrent against the use of nuclear
arms against the United States.
Utilizing recently declassified documents, years of experience, and an

unrivaled passion for the history of military technologies, Pomeroy
has created a new framework on the nature of strategic weapons
technology innovation. This thorough study of a road not taken
is a must read for those seeking to understand the challenges and
constraints on U.S. military weapon programs, especially when
inter-organization competition, domestic politics, strategic needs,
and new technologies collide.
With the Soviet launch of Sputnik in 1957, the political climate

changed, and space travel became part of the United States national
discourse. Sambaluk explores what followed, including the scuttling
of the Dyna-Soar program and the transition from Eisenhowers
space policy to John Kennedys. This well-argued, well-researched
book gives much needed perspective on the Cold Wars influence on
space travel and its relation to the formation of public policy.
STEVEN A. POMEROY is an historian of technology and an associate
military science and technology for Purdue University and a research

fellow for the Army Cyber Institute at West Point. He earned his
PhD in U.S., military, and international relations history from the
University of Kansas in May 2012.

WARSHIP
CAMOUFLAGE OF WWII
Volume II: Battleships &
Aircraft Carriers
By Malcolm George Wright

During World War II, navies developed
camouflage for their ships. Applying it to
both vertical and horizontal surfaces, they
reduced visibility and confused the identities of their ships to the enemy. Maritime
artist Malcolm Wright continues his depictions of the official and unofficial paint
schemes that adorned the capital ships
of the Royal Navy and Commonwealth.
Many schemes included in this volume are
difficult to find without intensive research,
making this a unique and valuable resource.
MALCOLM GEORGE WRIGHT is an Australian
maritime artist who has spent five decades

researching ships camouflage, making
notes while interviewing veterans and
consulting official sources, photographs
and the work of artists of the era. He lives
in Adelaide where he is also the director of
the Adelaide Festival of History.

and more on human influence, Marder
creates a book as accessible to the layman
as it is interesting to the historian.

perhaps the most distinguished historian of

of teaching posts in American universities
and received countless honors, as well as
publish some fifteen major works on British

SHIPHANDLING FUNDAMENTALS
FOR LITTORAL COMBAT SHIPS
AND THE NEW FRIGATES
THE BLUEJACKET'S MANUAL,

25th EDITION
By Joseph A. Gagliano
Shiphandling Fundamentals for Littoral Combat Ships and the New
Frigates is the first authoritative book on the theory and practice
of driving U.S. Navy waterjet ships, originally known as Littoral
Combat Ships (LCS). Authored by a career shipdriver who was part
of the first generation of LCS commanding officers, every method
presented within these pages has been validated through the successful
development of experienced LCS shiphandlers, including ensigns,
department heads, and even commanding officers. Though it is based
on shiphandling theory, this book is meant to be a practical guide for
both novice shiphandlers and those already experienced on propeller-driven ships. Gaglianos work serves as a book of best practices,
offering advice to maximize training opportunities in the simulator
and to exercise complete control over the ship with waterjets.
For well over a century, this venerable book has been a mandatory
part of every Sailors sea bag. When it first appeared in 1902, there
were instructions on rowing and sailing, sighting telescopes, and
wig-wag code, all subjects of importance to the Bluejackets of the
day. This new edition reflects technologies, cultural attitudes, and
terminology that would be foreign to those turn-of-the century Sailors,
but the relevance of this long-standing reference and instructional
guide remains. Written by a Sailor whose service included sea duty in
patrol craft, destroyers, cruisers, and aircraft carriers as both an officer
and a white hat, this newest edition has been overhauled once again
to reflect the current state of the ever-evolving U.S. Navy, including
changes in uniforms, ratings, ships, aircraft, and personal policies,
among many others. Primarily intended to serve Sailors (from seamen
to admirals), this book has long been used by potential recruits, Navy
buffs, and a cadre of dedicated collectors.
