Great Naval Battles of the Twentieth Century

BY JEAN-YVES DELITTE AND GIUSEPPE BAIGUERA

Tsushima, Jutland, Midway

In the history of civilizations, sea power has always played a preponderant role. This symbol of a nation’s scientific and military genius has very often been the deciding factor during major conflicts, putting the names of several clashes down into legend. With this collection, Jean-Yves Delitte and Giuseppe Baiguera plunge you into the heart of three of the twentieth century’s greatest naval battles. TSUSHIMA. May 1905. Japan’s expansionist policies clashed with the Russian Empire’s

over Korea. Japan is poised to flex its muscle and stun the world using the same naval supremacy that opened its borders half a century earlier. JUTLAND. May 1916. After waiting more than two years and with several missed oppor-

tunities, the British Royal Navy and the German Kaiserliche Marine are preparing to confront one another in the North Sea, off the Danish coast of Jutland. MIDWAY. in June 1942. In the middle of the Pacific, on the minuscule, isolated atoll of

Midway, the most extraordinary carrier battle will unfold. The might of the Imperial Japanese Navy will be stopped dead by the bravery of U.S. Navy airmen. An official “Painter of the Fleet” and a full member of France’s independent Académie des Arts & Sciences de la Mer (Academy of Arts & Sciences of the Sea), JEAN-YVES DELITTE is an architect and designer by training. His first comic book stories appeared in the legendary weekly magazine Tintin. His great love for the open seas allows him to display the entirety of his talent through the creation of veritable naval frescoes.

In 2012, he contracted with Kawama Editions for Mozambique Blues, a tribute to classic adventure comic books. He lives in Brescia, Italy.

GRAPHIC NOVEL

Admiral…three messages…they’ve been decoded. Read them, commander…

We have everything to inflict a crushing defeat on the Americans…if we succeed in destroying their remaining aircraft carriers in the looming battle, we’ll ensure our supremacy on the whole Pacific…

Admiral Nagumo confirms his squadron is heading due west for Midway. He’ll be able to launch attacks at the crack of dawn on June 4th, as planned.

Your plan is flawless.

A plan always has a flaw…we simply must hope our enemy doesn’t see it!

The second message is from Kondo. His squadron with the invasion forces is currently positioned in the western quarter, southwest of Midway. He’s cruising off of Wake island at present.

½X

Lastly, Hosogaya advises that his diversion fleet is still en route to the Aleutians and that he hasn’t encountered any enemy forces as of yet.

½X

Admiral… excuse me…but is everything all right? You seem so distant!

½X Hmm… Asashimo… How many years have we known one another?

I don’t know anymore…I’d say forty or so.

½X

Admiral… do you have orders?

Tsushima*… we met during the Battle of Tsushima…I was a young ensign on board the cruiser Nisshin. You helped me when my hand was wounded.

I remember… a great victory!

I remember the words of Togo,** the admiral of the fleet.

He said no battle was ever won ahead of time…

No, commander.

*The Battle of Tsushima, May 27-28, 1905. ** Togo Heihachiro (1848-1934).

Atlas at War!

EDITED BY MICHAEL J. VASSALLO ART RESTORATION BY ALLAN HARVEY

Atlas at War! collects fifty hard-hitting stories from Atlas Comics, the company that became Marvel Comics and published more war titles than anyone in the industry between the years 1951 and 1960. Comics historian Dr. Michael J. Vassallo has chosen the best of the best, many of which are coming back into print for the first time, from sixteen different Atlas war titles and featuring the artwork of twenty different artists—giants of the genre, including Russ Heath, John Severin, Bernie Krigstein, Joe Maneely, Jerry Robinson, Steve Ditko, and Jack Kirby. Each page has been meticulously restored from its first printing by comic art restorer Allan Harvey. Atlas at War! covers the brutal pre-code period where graphic depictions of war action were rendered by artists who were World War II veterans themselves, as well as the post-code period, where code restrictions forced creators to tell stories without graphic violence but produced some of the most beautiful comic art of the genre. In addition to the artists, stories cover all aspects of war—from famous campaigns, weaponry, and personal soldier stories to political topics, Nazi atrocities, and even one story tinged with pre-code horror! Often overlooked in favor of its competitors, Atlas at War! will finally show that Atlas’ war titles were second to none. DR. MICHAEL J. VASSALLO is a noted comics historian and a world-renowned authority

The Photographer of Mauthausen

WRITTEN BY SALVA RUBIO; DRAWN BY PEDRO J. COLOMBO; COLORED BY AINTZANE LANDA

This is a dramatic retelling of true events in the life of Francisco Boix, a Spanish press photographer and communist who fled to France at the beginning of World War II. But there, he found himself handed over by the French to the Nazis, who sent him to the notorious Mauthausen concentration camp, where he spent the war among thousands of other Spaniards and other prisoners. More than half of them would lose their lives there. Through an odd turn of events, Boix finds himself the confidant of an SS officer who is documenting prisoner deaths at the camp. Boix realizes that he has a chance to prove Nazi war crimes by stealing the negatives of these perverse photos—but only at the risk of his own life, that of a young Spanish boy he has sworn to protect, and, indeed, that of every prisoner in the camp. The Photographer of Mauthausen has been adapted as a major motion picture by Netflix. SALVA RUBIO is a Spanish author and historian who has been recognized multiple times

for his scriptwriting, ranging from short films to feature-length films and graphic novels. Having earned a master’s degree in scriptwriting for film and television, Rubio has worked for several Spanish production companies, including a short film nominated for the Goya awards in 2010, and the feature-length animated film “Deep” in 2016. Rubio made his debut in the comics field in 2017 with two striking and very different projects: Monet: Itinerant of Light and The Photographer of Mauthausen, both of which have met with critical acclaim. Spanish artist PEDRO COLOMBO was born just outside of Barcelona in 1978. With a passion for drawing dating back to his childhood, he went on to attend Escuela Joso, Spain’s most renowned comics institute. Colombo is the creator of Sangre Noctambula and co-creator of Trois . . . et l’ange.

The Liberation of Marguerite Harrison

BY ELIZABETH ATWOOD

America’s First Female Foreign Intelligence Agent In September 1918, World War I was nearing its end when Marguerite E. Harrison, a thirty-nine-year-old Baltimore socialite, wrote to the head of the U.S. Army’s Military Intelligence Division (MID) asking for a job. The director asked for clarification. Did she mean a clerical position? “No,” she told him. She wanted to be a spy. Harrison, a member of a prominent Baltimore family, usually got her way. She had already founded a school for sick children and wangled her way onto the staff of the Baltimore Sun. Fluent in four languages and knowledgeable about European affairs, she was confident she could gather information for the U.S. government. The MID director agreed to hire her, making Marguerite Harrison America’s first female foreign intelligence officer.

“The Liberation of Marguerite Harrison belongs among biographies of such women as Gertrude Bell and Margaret Mead. Atwood’s narrative deserves a spot on the shelf between the bookends of World War I and the solidification of the Bolshevik experiment into a formidable Soviet state. A well-resourced contribution to the history of intelligence, with plenty of ‘cloak and dagger.’” —Ann Todd, author of OSS Operation Black Mail

September 2020 320 pp. | 6 x 9 22 b/w photos Hardcover | ISBN: 978-1-68247-527-0 $32.95 | Holiday Price: $16.48

For the next seven years, she traveled to the world’s most dangerous places—Berlin, Moscow, Siberia, and the Middle East—posing as a writer and filmmaker in order to spy for the U.S. Army and U.S. Department of State. With linguistic skills and a knack for subterfuge, Harrison infiltrated Communist networks, foiled a German coup, located American prisoners in Russia, and probably helped American oil companies seeking entry into the Middle East. Along the way, she saved the life of King Kong creator Merian C. Cooper, twice survived imprisonment in Russia, and launched a women’s explorer society whose members included Amelia Earhart and Margaret Mead. As incredible as Harrison’s life was, much of it has remained a mystery. Until now, she has been known largely only through her 1935 autobiography in which she omitted and distorted key aspects of her clandestine career. Atwood draws on newly discovered documents in the U.S. National Archives, as well as Harrison’s prison files in the archives of the Russian Federal Security Bureau in Moscow. Although Harrison portrayed herself as a writer who temporarily worked as a spy, this book documents that Harrison’s espionage career was much more extensive and important than she revealed. She was one of America’s most trusted agents in Germany, Russia, and the Middle East after World War I, when the United States sought to become a world power. ELIZABETH ATWOOD is a former journalist, who worked more than twenty years at the Baltimore Sun where she first learned about Marguerite Harrison, the newspaper reporter turned double agent. Atwood is an associate professor of journalism at Hood College in Frederick, Maryland. Her research focuses on the ways in which journalists contribute to social and political revolutions.

Rain of Steel

BY STEPHEN L. MOORE

Mitscher’s Task Force 58, Ugaki’s Thunder Gods, and the Kamikaze War off Okinawa The last Pacific campaign of World War II was the most violent on record. Vice Admiral Marc Mitscher’s Task Force 58 carriers had conducted air strikes on mainland Japan and supported the Iwo Jima landings, but his aviators were sorely tested once the Okinawa campaign commenced on 1 April 1945. The human carnage from the ground fighting on the small island was unfathomable, but the destruction unleashed by Japan’s Divine Wind against the U.S. Navy was relentless. Japanese leaders knew that if the Allied invasion of this key island was not repulsed, the next step in the advancing war tide would be invasion of their own homeland. Rain of Steel follows Navy and Marine carrier aviators in the desperate air battles to control the kamikazes directed by Vice Admiral Matome Ugaki. The latter would unleash ten different Kikusui aerial suicide operations, one including a naval force built around the world’s most powerful battleship, the 71,000-ton Yamato. These battles are related largely through the words and experiences of some of the last living U.S. fighter aces of World War II. More than 1,900 kamikaze sorties—and thousands more traditional attack aircraft— would be launched against the U.S. Navy’s warships, radar picket ships, and amphibious vessels during the Okinawa campaign. In this time, Navy, Marine, and Army Air Forces pilots would claim some 2,326 aerial victories. The most successful four-man fighter division in U.S. Navy history would be crowned during the fight against Ugaki’s kamikazes. The Japanese named the campaign tetsu no ame (“rain of steel”), often referred to in English as “typhoon of steel.” More than 82,000 Americans and Japanese would perish during the campaign, and another 150,000 Okinawans would be killed. Kamikaze attackers and traditional bombing attacks would sink 36 Allied ships and damage another 368 vessels. STEPHEN L. MOORE, a sixth-generation Texan, is the author of nineteen previous

EDITED BY THE KURE MARITIME MUSEUM AND KAZUSHIGE TODAKA, TRANSLATED BY ROBERT D. ELDRIDGE WITH GRAHAM B. LEONARD Originally published in Japan in 2005, each album in The Japanese Naval Warship photo album series contains official photographs provided by the Kure Maritime Museum, as well as those taken by private individuals. These pictorial records document the main types of Japanese vessels, from battleships to submarines, based on the best images from Shizuo Fukui, a former Imperial Japanese Navy commander and technician. These photos include the ones Fukui began collecting as a young boy and continued after he worked as a naval shipbuilder, and those that he was given in order to complete a photographic history of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s ships, which include those gathered by Nagamura Kiyoshi, a shipbuilder who proactively collected photos, and the collection of machinist Amari Yoshiyuki. Moreover, with the help of shipbuilder Makino Shigeru, among others, Fukui was able to continue to gather photographs and other items throughout the postwar period. It is not an exaggeration, therefore, to say that Fukui dedicated his entire life to this work. These images are especially valuable because of the massive destruction of official documents at the end of the war. THE KURE MARITIME MUSEUM (also known as the Yamato Museum) is located in Kure

City, Hiroshima Province. Its collection focuses on the people and culture of Kure, as well as its industries, primarily shipbuilding and steelmaking. The museum houses more than twenty thousand Imperial Japanese Navy photos.

Selling Schweinfurt

BY BRIAN D. VLAUN

Targeting, Assessment, and Marketing in the Air Campaign Against German Industry A common theme of airpower histories is that the Combined Bomber Offensive was the proving ground for a post-war independent air force. Whether or not the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) could perform to the hype of its interwar doctrine, Allied commanders based their rival approaches to victory in Europe on their differing views of independent airpower. However, there is an essential, yet overlooked facet to this story: commanders’ convictions alone could not hold sway within the War Department, much less at the politically and bureaucratically charged meetings of the Combined Chiefs of Staff. The air commanders pressed their staffs for decision-quality assessments and photographic evidence to sell their arguments and project their progress. They needed informed targeting plans and objective post-raid reports as well as an air-intelligence enterprise to mature all-too-quickly out of interwar neglect. What they received—as Brian Vlaun explains—was a collision of organizational interests and leadership personalities that shaped Ira Eaker’s command of the Eighth Air Force in 1943, the tumultuous air campaign over Germany, and the path of the post-war U.S. Air Force. As a result of Vlaun’s research through thousands of declassified files, Selling Schweinfurt examines the relationships between air-intelligence organizations and key decision-makers. His analysis spans from pre-war planning and doctrine development, through the Eighth Air Force’s independent air campaign, and culminates with the formation of the United States Strategic Air Forces and its 1944 pre-invasion preparations. This book concludes that military organizations, if left unchecked, may adopt symbols and exaggerate claims to justify their own preferences and market their ideas in ways that mask their optimistic assumptions. In the case of the air campaign against Germany, both the four-engine bomber and specialized targets—like Schweinfurt’s ball bearings—served as symbols and powerful marketing tools for the AAF and air intelligence, respectively.

Airpower over Gallipoli, 1915–1916

Airpower in the War against ISIS

BY STERLING MICHAEL PAVELEC

BY BENJAMIN S. LAMBETH

Based on extensive archival research, Sterling Michael Pavelec recounts the adventures of the handful of aviators and their aircraft during the Gallipoli Campaign. As the contest for the Dardanelles Straits and the Gallipoli Peninsula raged, three Allied seaplane tenders and three land-based squadrons (two UK and one French) flew and fought against two mixed German and Ottoman squadrons (one land-based, one seaplane) against each other, the elements, and the fledgling technology. The contest was marked by experimentation, bravado, and airborne carnage as the men and machines plied the air to gain a strategic advantage in the new medium.

Airpower in the War against ISIS chronicles the planning and conduct of Operation Inherent Resolve by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) from August 2014 to mid-2018, with a principal focus on the contributions of U.S. Air Forces Central Command (AFCENT). Benjamin S. Lambeth contends that the war’s costly and excessive duration resulted from CENTCOM’s inaccurate assessment of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), determining it was simply a resurrected Iraqi insurgency rather than recognizing it as the emerging proto-state that it actually was.

Airpower Over Gallipoli, 1915–1916 focuses on the men and machines in the skies over the Gallipoli Peninsula, their contributions to the campaign, and the ultimate outcomes of the role of airpower in the early stages of World War I. STERLING MICHAEL PAVELEC is a professor of airpower history at the Air Command and Staff College, Maxwell AFB, Alabama. He is the author of four previous books and a number of articles and book chapters on airpower, technology, space, and cyber warfare.

BENJAMIN S. LAMBETH is a nonresident Senior Fellow with the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. He earned his doctorate in political science from Harvard University and served previously in the Central Intelligence Agency, followed thereafter by a thirty-seven-year career at the RAND Corporation. Among his many other publications, he is the author of Russia’s Air Power in Crisis, The Transformation of American Air Power, and The Unseen War: Allied Air Power and the Takedown of Saddam Hussein.

China as a Twenty-FirstCentury Naval Power

Theory, Practice, and Implications BY MICHAEL A. McDEVITT China as a Twenty-First-Century Naval Power focuses on China’s navy and how it is being transformed to satisfy Xi Jinping’s “world class” goal. Beginning with an exploration of why China is seeking to become such a major maritime power, author Michael A. McDevitt first explores the strategic rationale behind Xi’s two objectives. McDevitt then explores the PLA Navy’s role in the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. This book concludes with a forecast of what Xi’s vision of a “world-class navy” might look like in the next fifteen years when the 2035 deadline is reached. REAR ADMIRAL MICHAEL A.

The Herndon Climb

A History of the United States Naval Academy’s Greatest Tradition BY REAR ADM. JAMES R. MCNEAL, SC, USN (RET.), AND SCOTT TOMASHESKI The Herndon Climb is an important and meaningful ritual in Naval Academy culture. Scaling of the heavily greased, 21-foot tall Herndon Monument as a group at the very end of the year for “plebes,” or freshmen, the Climb marks a major turning point in the lives of all Midshipmen, who are relieved of their low status at the moment they complete the task. The book is culled from interviews with over fifty subjects, including participants in Climbs over the past six decades, with personal observations from the 2019 and 2018 events. REAR ADM. JAMES R. MCNEAL, SC, USN (RET.), was born in Hawaii and raised in Southern California. The son of a 1962 USNA grad, he graduated from the Naval Academy in 1986. After six years on Active Duty in the Supply Corps, he transitioned into the Reserve component, retiring in 2017.

The Craft of Wargaming A Detailed Planning Guide for Defense Planners and Analysts BY COL. JEFF APPLEGET, USA (RET.), COL. ROBERT BURKS, USA (RET.), AND FRED CAMERON The Craft of Wargaming is designed to support supervisors, planners, and analysts who use wargames to support their organizations’ missions. The authors focus on providing analysts and planners with a clear methodology that allows them to initiate, design, develop, conduct, and analyze wargames. Although the methodology is built around the analytic wargaming construct, organizations or individuals can easily adapt this methodology to construct educational and experiential wargames. COL. JEFF APPLEGET, USA (RET.), served in the Army for thirty years. He joined the Naval Postgraduate School in 2009, where he teaches wargaming and combat modeling. COL. ROBERT BURKS, USA (RET.), enlisted in the Army in 1982 and upon his retirement in 2013 joined the Naval Postgraduate School.

CECIL SCOTT “C. S.” FORESTER was the pen name of Cecil Louis Troughton Smith (August 27, 1899–April 2, 1966), an English novelist who rose to fame with tales of naval warfare. His most notable works were the twelve-book Horatio Hornblower series, depicting a Royal Navy officer during the Napoleonic era, and The African Queen (1935; filmed in 1951 by John Huston).

GOOD SHEPHERD

THE GOOD SHEPHERD

The action—and there is much of it—takes place in the forty-eight hours when the convoy is most vulnerable to German U-boat attacks as it crosses the ocean gap where the ships are beyond air coverage and must rely entirely upon the few escorts to fend off and destroy the relentless enemy submarines. The tension and fatigue are palpable as Krause makes the mental calculations needed to place his escorts in the best positions to carry out their harrowing missions, all while battling the treacherous seas and numbing cold of the North Atlantic battle space. Readers hoping to relax while traveling through these pages will be disappointed because this novel will keep them at the edge of their seats as they listen for the ominous pings of sonar sets and scan the darkness for glimpses of Wolf Packs on the prowl.

FORESTER

The Good Shepherd was described as one of the best novels of 1955. In it, C. S. Forester departs from the age-of-sail Hornblower genre that made him famous to focus on an American naval officer during World War II. After a somewhat disappointing career, Cdr. George Krause, USN, is at last given the command he has long sought when the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor creates an increased demand for destroyer captains. Assigned to Atlantic convoy escort duty, Krause commands not only his ship, USS Keeling—a Mahan-class destroyer— but also the other escorts assigned to protect a thirty-seven-ship convoy carrying much-needed supplies to the European Allies.

Warship Builders

An Industrial History of U.S. Naval Shipbuilding, 1922–1945 BY THOMAS HEINRICH Warship Builders is the first scholarly study of the U.S. naval shipbuilding industry from the early 1920s to the end of World War II, when American shipyards produced the world’s largest fleet that helped defeat the Axis powers in all corners of the globe. Based on systematic comparisons with British, Japanese, and German naval construction, Thomas Heinrich pinpoints the distinct features of American shipbuilding methods, technology development, and management practices that enabled U.S. yards to vastly outproduce their foreign counterparts. THOMAS HEINRICH is professor of U.S. business and naval history at Baruch College, City University of New York. Born and raised in Germany, he received his PhD degree from the University of Pennsylvania and is the author of Ships for the Seven Seas: Philadelphia Shipbuilding in the Age of Industrial Capitalism and Kimberly-Clark and the Consumer Revolution in American Business.

General Naval Tactics Theory and Practice BY MILAN VEGO In General Naval Tactics, Naval War College professor and renowned tactical expert Milan Vego describes and explains those aspects of naval tactics closely related to the human factor. Focusing on such tactical elements as command and control, he derives certain commonalities of naval tactics that occurred in recent and distant wars at sea. Many parts of Vego’s theoretical constructs are based on the examples of wellknown and influential naval tacticians, such as Admirals Arleigh Burke and Raymond Spruance. Whenever possible, the author illustrates each aspect of theory by carefully selected examples from naval history—making the theory more understandable and interesting. MILAN VEGO served for twelve years as an officer in the former Yugoslav Navy and for three years as 2nd Officer (Deck) in the former West German merchant marine before being granted political asylum in the United States in 1976. He is ADM R.K. Turner Professor of Operational Art, and University Professor, U.S. Naval War College in Newport, RI. Dr. Vego holds a PhD in Modern European History from George Washington University.

Peace and Prisoners of War

Sad Memoir of the Vietnam War BY PHAN NHAT NAM; INTRODUCTION BY SENATOR JAMES WEBB In Peace and Prisoners of War, written in “real time” as events occurred, Phan Nhat Nam provides a unique window into the harsh combat that followed America’s withdrawal and the hopelessness of South Vietnam’s attempt to stave off an eventual communist victory. Enhanced by an introduction by Senator James Webb, one of the most decorated Marines in the Vietnam War, this revealing work is an unvarnished observation frozen in time, devoid of spin or false retrospective wisdom.

Through the Valley My Captivity in Vietnam BY WILLIAM REEDER JR. “Reeder evocatively shares his distressing, yet ultimately uplifting, story of survival against the odds, and even though readers know Reeder will make it through, this account will keep them engaged until the end.” —Publishers Weekly

PHAN NHAT NAM is a soldier, a renowned writer, and a political commentator; he is one of the most influential voices in the worldwide overseas Vietnamese community.

Through the Valley is the captivating memoir of the last U.S. Army soldier taken prisoner during the Vietnam War. William Reeder shares the torment and pain of his ordeal, but does so in the light of the hope that he never lost.

BY JIM HOWE

BY RAYMOND G. CARYL

BY VINCENT P. O’HARA AND LEONARD R. HEINZ

Fighting the War on Drugs with Reagan’s Coast Guard “Red Crew puts the reader in the middle of missions as nerve-racking and diverse as rescuing migrants who are literally at death’s door [and] outwitting sophisticated and extremely well-funded smugglers—all told by a sailor who combines the technical expertise of Tom Clancy with Pat Conroy’s mastery of the English Language.” —Military Officer Red Crew is a first-hand account of U.S. Coast Guard anti-smuggling operations during the early years of the nation’s maritime war on drugs. Jim Howe describes his experience as the executive officer of a specialized drug-hunting crew that sailed in then-state-ofthe-art “surface effect ships,” a small flotilla of high-speed vessels pressed into the drug war on short notice. CAPT. JIM HOWE, USCG (RET.), served 27 years in the U.S. Coast Guard, eleven at sea and five in command. A graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, he has earned master’s degrees in government, strategic studies, and space studies. Captain Howe works in the nuclear power industry.

An Army Pilot Flying for the Marines in the Vietnam War “Raymond Caryl’s Catkiller 3-2 is a well-written and thoughtful first-person account with an unusual two-service perspective.” —Lewis Sorley, author of A Better War Catkiller 3-2 provides unique insights into the role of the tactical air controller, airborne (TACA) in I Corps as seen through the eyes of one of the pilots who flew low-altitude, unarmed, single-engine aircraft in support of Marine ground units during the Vietnam War. The advance party of the Army’s 220th Reconnaissance Aircraft Company (RAC) arrived in Vietnam in late June 1965 thinking they were going to be assigned to III Corps Tactical Zone. However, because of the shortage of existing Marine Birddogs, the 220th was immediately reassigned to I Corps and came under the operational control of the Marines. RAYMOND G. CARYL’S aviation career began in 1966 in the U.S. Army and extended until 2004. After leaving active duty, he continued to fly in the Army Reserve and National Guard until 1997.

Naval Battles of the Great War, 1914–18

“An engaging and well-written history.” —Military Heritage Clash of Fleets is an operational history that records every naval engagement fought between major surface warships during World War I. Much more than a catalog of combat facts, Clash of Fleets explores why battles occurred; how the different navies fought; and how combat advanced doctrine and affected the development and application of technology. VINCENT P. O’HARA is an independent scholar and author; his most recent book is Six Victories: North Africa, Malta, and the Mediterranean Convoy War, November 1941–March 1942. He holds a history degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and lives in Chula Vista, California. LEONARD R.

GENERAL MILITARY & NAVAL HISTORY

VIETNAM WAR

WORLD WAR I

NEW PUBLICATIONS

The World’s Leading Naval and Military Publisher since 1898.

he modern U.S. Navy began with the authorization of three steel cruisers in 1883. What happened to this important warship over the last century is the subject of this book, the only account of U.S. cruiser development based on internal Navy �iles. It presents a complete history of cruiser design at a level of detail and accuracy never before approached. Like the other books in Norman Friedman’s designhistory series, this one pays attention to all designs, even those that never left the drawing board, since every proposal made is a link in the evolution of the cruiser force. Friedman, a recognized authority on U.S. warships, uncovers the reasoning behind the many radical changes in U.S. cruiser design, which culminated in the Aegis guided-missile ships. He deals both with evolving technology and those changes in the doctrine and role of the U.S. Navy that clearly affected cruiser design.

Because the nature of the cruiser is somewhat ill-de�ined, this book discusses a wide variety of ships, from the battleship-like armored cruisers of the turn of the century and the battle cruisers of the 1916 Navy Act to scout cruisers and the Atlanta class, ships that were in many ways enlarged destroyers. It covers the emergence of “peace cruisers,” which were essentially large gunboats, and the post-1945 command and missile cruisers. The World War II Alaska-class large cruisers also are included.

Friedman shows how the path from the �irst steel cruisers to the latest ultramodern Ticonderoga class de�ines many of the themes of U.S. naval development: the transition from a coastal defense/commerceraiding navy to a navy designed to seize and exploit command of the world’s oceans, and from a navy of independent cruisers on foreign stations to a battle �leet navy and then a carrier navy. A.D. Baker III and Alan Raven have drawn detailed scale outboard and plan views of each cruiser class and of major modi�ications to many classes. The author has provided inboard pro�iles and sketches of abortive projects. Numerous photographs, many of them never before published, complement the text. Appendices include ship characteristics and data on ship careers. U.S. Cruisers is essential reading for those concerned with the history of the U.S. Navy. Naval historians, naval architects, and wargamers alike will �ind this book to be the most comprehensive reference available on the subject and a �itting companion to Friedman’s U.S. Destroyers and U.S. Aircraft Carriers.

NORMAN FRIEDMAN is one of America’s most prominent naval analysts and the author of more than thirty books covering a range of naval subjects. A.D. BAKER III is a highly regarded naval authority known for his work as an illustrator and writer. ALAN RAVEN is a British-born naval historian, illustrator, and professional ship-model builder.

A Theory of Victory in Battle “Friedman’s On Tactics fills a critical gap and is an important read for both the emerging tactician and seasoned strategist alike.” —RealClearDefense Originally setting out to write the very book that he would have wanted to own as a young infantryman, the author penned On Tactics as a remedy for navigating the chaotic and inchoate realm of tactical theory. Challenging centuries-old conventional wisdom regarding the principles of war, tactics, and the roles of strategy, doctrine, experiential learning, and military history, Friedman’s work offers a striking synthesis of thinking on tactics as well as strategy. B. A. FRIEDMAN entered the Marine Corps after graduating high school. He attended The Ohio State University and gained a BA in history as well as the Naval War College where he gained an MA in National Security and Strategic Studies. He transitioned to the Marine Corps Reserve in 2016 as a captain.

British Naval Weapons of World War Two

The John Lambert Collection, Volume III: Coastal Forces Weapons EDITED AND INTRODUCED BY NORMAN FRIEDMAN John Lambert was a renowned naval draughtsman, whose plans were highly valued for their accuracy and detail by model makers and enthusiasts. By the time of his death in 2016, he had produced over 850 sheets of drawings, many of which have never been published. The initial volumes concentrate on British naval weaponry used in World War II, thus completing the project John Lambert was working on when he died. The drawings are backed by introductory essays by Norman Friedman and a selection of photographs adds to the value of the book as visual reference.

Detailed in the Original Builders’ Plans BY JOHN ROBERTS The technical details of British warships were recorded in a set of plans produced by the builders on completion of every ship. Known as the “as fitted” general arrangements, these drawings represented the exact appearance and fitting of the ship as it entered service. Intended to provide a permanent reference for the Admiralty and the dockyards, these highly detailed plans were drawn with exquisite skill in multi-colored inks and washes that represent the acme of the draughtsman’s art. Today they form part of the incomparable collection of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, which is using the latest scanning technology to make digital copies of the highest quality. This book is one of a series based entirely on these draughts which depict famous warships in an unprecedented degree of detail—complete sets in full color, with many close-ups and enlargements that make every aspect clear and comprehensible. JOHN ROBERTS spent more than twenty years in the Royal Navy, serving in a variety of ships, and later worked in the Defense Ministry for ten years.

Liberty Factory

The Untold Story of Henry Kaiser’s Oregon Shipyards BY PETER J. MARSH Crucial to this achievement was the Britishdesigned “Liberty Ship,” a simple cargo ship that could be built rapidly, combined with the untapped industrial potential of the United States that could build them in vast numbers. Undoubtedly the most important individual in the rapid expansion of U.S. wartime shipyard capacity was Henry Kaiser, a man with no previous shipbuilding experience but an entrepreneur of vision and drive. This book tells the story of how he established huge new yards using novel mass-production techniques in the most surprising location—Oregon, one of the least industrially developed areas of the United States and one without an existing pool of skilled labor to draw on. PETER J. MARSH was born in Great Britain but has lived his adult life in Portland, Oregon. He is a journalist specializing in maritime subjects and is also a very knowledgeable local historian.

Seaforth World Naval Review 2021 EDITED BY CONRAD WATERS The latest of the in-depth ‘Significant Ships’ series cover the U.S. Navy’s America (LHA 6) class amphibious ships; the Singaporean Independence, an indigenous design of Littoral Mission Vessel; and the venerable Type 23 frigate, still the mainstay of the British Royal Navy’s surface fleet. Technological subjects include an analysis of stealth at sea by Norman Friedman, the U.S. Standard missile family by Richard Scott, as well as David Hobbs’ regular review of naval aviation. This year the reviews of specific fleets focus on the navies of Sweden and Nigeria, two medium sized naval powers with very different histories. Firmly established as the only annual naval overview of its type, World Naval Review is essential reading for anyone—whether enthusiast or professional—interested in contemporary maritime affairs. CONRAD WATERS, a barrister by training and a banker by profession, has had a lifelong interest in modern navies, about which he has written extensively. He edited Navies in the 21st Century and has been the editor of the World Naval Review since its foundation in 2009.

Total Undersea War

The Evolutionary Role of the Snorkel in Dönitz’s U-boat Fleet, 1944–1945 BY AARON S. HAMILTON During the last year of World War II the once surface-bound diesel-electric U-boat ushered in the age of “total undersea war” with the introduction of an air mast, or “snorkel” as it became known among the men who served in Dönitz’s submarine fleet. This exhaustive study, the first of its kind, draws upon wartime documents from archives around the world to re-evaluate the last year of the U-boat’s deployment, all its key technological innovations, the evolving operations and tactics, and Allied countermeasures.

AARON S. HAMILTON is an academically trained historian. He holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in history, as well as the Field Historian designator awarded by the U.S. Army’s Combat Studies Institute.

Warships After London

The End of the Treaty Era in the Five Major Fleets, 1930–1936 BY JOHN JORDAN Warships After London examines warship developments in the five major navies during the period 1930–1936. Long-term plans were disrupted, and new construction had to be reviewed in the light of the Treaty of London. The imposition of new quantitative limits for cruisers, destroyers and submarines led to new, often smaller designs, and a need to balance unit size against overall numbers within each of the categories. As ships produced under these restrictions were the newest available when war broke out in 1939, this book is a major contribution to understanding the nature of the navies involved. Its value is enhanced by well-chosen photographs and specially prepared line drawings showing the overall layout, armament, protection and propulsion of the ships laid down during the period.

JOHN JORDAN is the editor of the annual Warship and is best known for a series of technical histories of French warships.

The Battleships of the Iowa Class

A Design and Operational History BY PHILIPPE CARESSE; TRANSLATED BY BRUCE TAYLOR Hardcover | 534 pp. ISBN-13: 978-1-59114-598-1 $120.00 | Holiday Price: $60.00 Built as the ultimate American battleship and designed to engage the major units of the Japanese and German fleets, the vessels were commissioned in the closing stages of World War II, the beginning of half a century of service during which individual units saw action in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Lebanese Civil War and finally the Persian Gulf War. As such, these ships are symbolic of the primacy of U.S. seapower during the Cold War. The preservation of all four members of this mighty class as museums is testament not only to their enduring fascination for successive generations of Americans, but also to the immense technical, financial, military, and political resources wielded by the United States during the second half of the twentieth century. 28

An Illustrated Design History

Naval historians and enthusiasts alike will find U.S. Battleships to be the most comprehensive reference available on the entire development of U.S. battleships, from the Maine and Texas of 1886, through the Montana class of World War II, up to the recommissioned Iowas. Like the other books in Norman Friedmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designhistory series, U.S. Battleships is based largely on formerly classified internal U.S. Navy records.

The Story of the USS Enterprise, Illustrated Edition

A lasting tribute to the USS Enterprise, this heavily illustrated, new edition tells the classic tale of the carrier that contributed more than any other warship to the naval victory in the Pacific. The original book, published in 1962, has remained one of the most celebrated World War II stories for more than four decades. 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.

Battleships of the Scharnhorst Class

The Scharnhorst and Gneisenau: The Backbone of the German Surface Forces at the Outbreak of War BY GERHARD KOOP AND KLAUS-PETER SCHMOLKE Paperback | 176 pp. ISBN-13: 978-1-59114-177-8 $15.98 Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were the products of a long, involved, and politicallydetermined design process that witnessed this class of battleships develop from an improved Pocket Battleship to what many described as a battlecruiser. These ships were the most active, and successful, of the Kriegesmarine’s major warships, took part in numerous famous operations, including the infamous “Channel Dash.” and played a key part of Germany’s struggle to wrest control of the sea at the outbreak of World War II.

Heavy Cruisers of the Admiral Hipper Class

Admiral Hipper, Blücher, Prinz Eugen, Seydlitz, Lützow BY GERHARD KOOP AND KLAUS-PETER SCHMOLKE Paperback | 208 pp. ISBN-13: 978-1-59114-168-6 $15.98 This volume covers the Admiral Hipper class, among the largest heavy cruisers to serve in World War II. Intended to be a class of five, they enjoyed contrasting fortunes: Seydlitz and Lützow were never completed; Blücher was the first major German warship sunk in action; Admiral Hipper became one of the most successful commerce raiders of the war; while the Prinz Eugen survived to be expended as a target in one of the first American nuclear tests in 1946.

The Stringbags

BY JAMES E. WISE Hardcover | 224 pp. ISBN-13: 978-1-59114-967-5 $34.95 | Holiday Price: $17.48

WRITTEN BY GARTH ENNIS; DRAWN BY P.J. HOLDEN; COLORED BY KELLY FITZPATRICK; LETTERED BY ROB STEEN Hardcover | | 192 pp. ISBN-13: 978-1-68247-503-4 $29.95 | Holiday Price: $14.98

The Final Journey

The U-505 was a German submarine that was captured in battle by the U.S. in June of 1944. James Wise (a former U.S. naval intelligence officer) narrates the life of the vessel from its 1941 construction in Hamburg to its more recent home at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Including numerous photographs throughout, Wise describes the U-boat’s fortunes in World War II, the circumstances of its capture, and the long journey down the St. Lawrence River and through four of the Great Lakes to Chicago. He also offers two appendixes discussing operating and living on board the U-505 and the historical evolution of the submarine.

Based on the true story of the Royal Navy’s Swordfish crews, The Stringbags is an epic tale of young men facing death in an aircraft almost out of time. From their triumphs against the Italian Fleet at Taranto and the mighty German battleship Bismarck in the Atlantic, to the deadly challenge of the Channel Dash in the bleak winter waters of their homeland. They lived as they flew, without a second to lose—and the greatest tributes to their courage would come from the enemy who strove to kill them.

British Town Class Cruisers

Southampton and Belfast Classes: Design, Development and Performance BY CONRAD WATERS Hardcover | 288 pp. ISBN-13: 978-1-52671-885-3 $64.95 | Holiday Price: $32.48 Entering service between 1937 and 1939, the ten British “Town” class cruisers were the most modern vessels of their type in the Royal Navy when World War II began. Built in response to large 6-inch gunned cruisers in the U.S. and Japanese navies and primarily designed for the defense of trade, they saw arduous service in a wide range of roles, playing a decisive part in victories such as the Battle of the Barents Sea and the destruction of the German Navy’s Scharnhorst at the North Cape. The cost was heavy: four of the ships were lost and the other six all survived heavy damage, in some cases on more than one occasion.

The Last British Battleship HMS Vanguard 1946–1960 BY R. A. BURT Hardcover | 128 pp. ISBN-13: 978-1-52675-226-0 $44.95 | Holiday Price: $22.48 The ninth HMS Vanguard, bearing one of the most illustrious names in the Royal Navy with honors from the Armada to Jutland, was the last and largest of Britain’s battleships and was commissioned in 1946.

In this new book by R. A. Burt, her design, construction and career are all covered. Armor, machinery, power plants, and weaponry are examined in detail and the author has produced some 35 superb plans, profiles, and other line drawings for which he is renowned.
