Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Lieutenant William Exton Junior who wrote: "He's on a destroyer now," later changed to: "He's in the destroyers now." I have not seen this book for sale under US$55.00 as it is highly sought after by serious naval collectors as their libabries would be quite incomplete without it! The elite ships of...

Code Name Antidote Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)With the US Navy shooting up the Oslo harbor and Seals landing in the public park, we are asked to believe the US diplomat 'has a challenge' in handling the Norwegian government.

Political Influence of Naval Force in Hi Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As an avid naval strategy reader, I had much anticipated this work's release. However, after finishing it, I was mildly disappointed, as Cable sets overly rigorous standards in defining the allowable circumstances for true political impacts by naval events. For this reason it is often smaller naval incidents...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a story that almost no one seems to know about. I cant imagine being inside a 200 ft. tin can, in the worst possible weather for 3 or 4 years, fighting faster, better equipped U-boats (the corvettes were modified whalers with a 4 inch gun), with only a few breaks in between the battles. The corvettes...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is one of the very few books that deals with small, ancillary boats rather than on the biggest, fastest, or latest ships or yachts. It gives a history of British military ship's boats, from the earliest known specifications through the steam era. This includes myraid boat plans, scantling dimensions,...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a quite remarkable assemblage of anecdotes detailing the carnage wrought by Japanese aerial and naval suicide campaigns conducted against Allied forces in the Pacific during World War II. The bulk of the book consists of explicit, blow-by-blow descriptions of a number of these horrifyingly deadly...
