The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors The Extraordinary World War II Story of the U.S. Navy’s Finest Hour

BY JAMES D. HORNFISCHER ADAPTED BY DOUG MURRAY; DRAWN BY STEVEN SANDERS; COLORED BY MATT SOFFE; LETTERED BY ROB STEEN

Adapted from the naval history classic and New York Times bestseller, The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors pieces together the action of the Battle off Samar, bringing to life a riveting story of heroism against daunting odds, duty, and sacrifice in a way never seen before. In October 1944, Allied forces began landing on the Philippine island of Leyte. Quickly assessing the threat of the Allied invasion, the Japanese navy sought to counterattack. But with the island protected by the full strength of Admiral William F. Halsey’s Third Fleet, a direct attack was nearly impossible. Undeterred, the Japanese Admiralty deployed their forces, engaging the Third Fleet and retreating in a manner that drew the fleet into a hot pursuit. However, Admiral Halsey had been deceived, and the Japanese plan had taken his fleet out of position to defend the American beachhead. With the northern route to Leyte open and unguarded, the Japanese Center Force—a fleet led by the battleship Yamato, the largest and most powerful battleship ever constructed—seemingly had a clear path to the landing beaches on Leyte. Only one thing stood between the Japanese forces and the vulnerable objective. Taffy 3, a small task unit from the Seventh Fleet, was made up of destroyers, destroyer escorts, and escort aircraft carriers; thirteen ships with little firepower and even less armor. On the morning of October 25, 1944, Taffy 3 suddenly became the only obstacle between the Allied landings and the Japanese Center Force. Hopelessly outmanned and outgunned, Taffy 3 plunged into battle. The ensuing action, known as the Battle off Samar, became one of the greatest last stands in naval history.

“James D. Hornfischer is one of X X America's great narrative historians, Xand his The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors on the battle off Samar (October 25, 1944) details one of the X great sagas of the Second World War. XNow that story has been rendered in graphic format with drawings by Steven Sanders to engage an even wider audience. It is a reminder of the great debt owed by modern Americans to the sacrifices of those who served in the Second World War.” —Craig L. Symonds, author of World War II at Sea

JAMES D. HORNFISCHER’S gripping account of the battle, based on declassified documents as well as extensive interviews with veterans, is acclaimed as one of the most compelling works of naval history ever published. Hornfischer’s awards include the 2018 Samuel Eliot Morison Award, given by the Board of Trustees of the USS Constitution Museum. DOUG MURRAY is a comic book writer and novelist. He served as a non-commissioned officer in the Army in Vietnam and was the main writer on the popular comic book series The ’Nam, published by Marvel Comics.

Commanding the Pacific

Marine Corps Generals in World War II BY STEPHEN R. TAAFFE “In Commanding the Pacific, Stephen R. Taaffe puts on a writing clinic as he blends biographical sketches and personality studies with a historical narrative of the strategic and operational levels of the Pacific War. He also effortlessly weaves analysis into this mix. Readers can also glean lessons and habits of mind about leadership and teamwork.” —David J. Ulbrich, author of Preparing for Victory: Thomas Holcomb and the Making of the Marine Corps, 1936–1943 In Commanding the Pacific: Marine Corps Generals in World War II, Stephen R. Taaffe analyzes the fifteen high-level Marine generals who led the Corps’ six combat divisions and two corps in the conflict.

Battleship Commander

The Life of Vice Admiral Willis A. Lee Jr. BY PAUL STILLWELL “Paul Stillwell brings a lifetime of experience as a naval historian to bear in this well written and timely biography.” —Adm. James Stavridis, 16th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO and author of The Sailor's Bookshelf: Fifty Books to Know the Sea This is the first-ever biography of Vice Admiral Willis A. Lee Jr., who served a key role during World War II in the Pacific. Recognizing the achievements and legacy of one of the war’s top combat admirals has been long overdue until now.

October 2021 376 pp. | 6 x 9 30 b/w illustrations, 6 b/w maps Hardcover | 978-1-68247-593-5 $37.95 | Holiday Price: $18.98

Battleship Commander explores Lee’s life from boyhood in Kentucky through his eventual service as commander of the fast battleships from 1942 to 1945. Paul Stillwell draws on more than 150 first-person accounts from those who knew and served with Lee from boyhood until the time of his death. Said to be down to earth, modest, forgiving, friendly, and with a wry sense of humor, Lee eschewed the media and, to the extent possible, left administrative details to others. Stillwell relates the sequential building of a successful career, illustrating Admiral Lee’s focus on operational, tactical, and strategic concerns. In 1942 Willis Lee became commander of the first division of fast battleships to operate in the Pacific. During that service, he commanded Task Force 64, which achieved a tide-turning victory in a night battle near Guadalcanal in November 1942. PAUL STILLWELL is an independent historian and retired naval officer. He worked for thirty years at the U.S. Naval Institute as an oral historian and editor of Naval History magazine. He is the author or editor of thirteen books.

Clash of the Capital Ships

From the Yorkshire Raid to Jutland BY ERIC DORN BROSE “Jutland, the greatest clash of capital ships ever fought continues to fascinate. Brose has surveyed his subject’s immense literature and delivers fresh analysis and judgments. In the end, it’s the men, not the ships, that really matter.” —Vincent P. O'Hara, author of Six Victories: North Africa, Malta, and the Mediterranean Convoy War, November 1941–March 1942 The Battle of Jutland, May 31–June 1, 1916, pitted Great Britain and Imperial Germany—the two largest fleets of World War I—against one another for the first time. At that time, it would be the largest clash of capital ships in the history of modern naval warfare.

NEW PUBLICATIONS

Focusing on the many fine studies of naval encounters in the North Sea and the primary sources that appeared as the centennial of this clash approached, Eric Dorn Brose seized an opportunity to reexamine Jutland, its pre-history, and aftermath. Considering new scholarship within the context of extant literature, the author reveals why each side claimed a victory that belonged to Britain and its cautious admiral, Sir John Jellicoe by examining the key roles naval and political leaders in Germany and Great Britain played during the fight. With an awareness of previous research, and a lively, fresh approach, Brose provides a concise history of the Jutland clash and the era of naval combat itself. ERIC DORN BROSE completed graduate and postgraduate degrees at Miami University in Ohio and Ohio State. He was a professor at Drexel University, where he was awarded special emeritus status upon retirement in 2015. His publications in German and European history have included much on the history of warfare in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Mars Adapting

Military Change during War BY FRANK G. HOFFMAN “Mars Adapting is an important contribution and essential reading for anyone interested in military adaptation.” —Trent Hone, author of Learning War: The Evolution of Fighting Doctrine in the U.S. Navy, 1898–1945 and co-author of Battle Line: The United States Navy, 1919–1939 Mars Adapting examines what makes some military organizations better at this contest than others. It explores the institutional characteristics or attributes at play in learning quickly. Adaptation requires a dynamic process of acquiring knowledge, the utilization of that knowledge to alter a unit’s skills, and the sharing of that learning to other units to integrate and institutionalize better operational practice.

March 2021 368 pp. | 6 x 9 4 b/w maps, 2 b/w figures, 12 b/w tables Hardcover | 978-1-68247-589-8 $39.95 | Holiday Price: $19.98 TRANSFORMING WAR

The author establishes a theory called Organizational Learning Capacity that captures the transition of experience and knowledge from individuals into larger and higher levels of each military service through four major steps. The learning/change cycle is influenced, he argues, by four institutional attributes (leadership, organizational culture, learning mechanisms, and dissemination mechanisms). The dynamic interplay of these institutional enablers shaped their ability to perceive and change appropriately. FRANK HOFFMAN holds an appointment as a distinguished research fellow at the National Defense University in Washington, DC. He is a retired U.S. Marine infantry officer. His forty-two years in the U.S. defense establishment includes senior political appointments at the Pentagon, ten years at Headquarters Marine Corps, and a decade at NDU’s Institute for National Strategic Studies. In addition to his research portfolio in strategy and military innovation, he has taught at the National War College. He earned his PhD in war studies from King’s College, London.

Habits of Highly Effective Maritime Strategists BY JAMES R. HOLMES “Weaving history and stories about those who became successful strategists with a keen understanding of the science and art of naval warfare, this insightful book lists the habits one must adopt to succeed. Get to it!” —Robert O. Work, former Deputy Secretary of Defense Habits of Highly Effective Maritime Strategists is a deliberately compact work aimed at both current and aspiring strategists, especially those who concern themselves with strategy at sea, and at those who work for or alongside them. The volume is meant to help strategic leaders know and educate themselves, two of the most important enterprises in the field of leadership. James R. Holmes reaches back to the classics of philosophy—especially to the works of Aristotle, the founder of the Lyceum—to posit that strategy is a habit. Rather, he writes, it involves cultivating a family of habits. To excel at strategy, one should learn what excellent strategists do and practice that ritual each day.

Opening the Great Depths

The Bathyscaph Trieste and Pioneers of Undersea Exploration BY NORMAN POLMAR AND LEE J. MATHERS “A great read for those interested in deep ocean and submarine technology.” —Capt. Charles M. Staehle, USNR (Ret.), first pilot of DSV’s-1 and TRIESTE Pilot No. 12 Developed by French physicist Auguste Piccard and his son Jacques, the bathyscaph Trieste was a scientific marvel that allowed unprecedented scientific, technical, and military feats in the ocean depths. France and the United States both acquired and subsequently developed variants of the original bathyscaph. While both France and the United States employed the bathyscaph as a tool for scientific investigation of the deepest ocean depths, the U.S. Navy developed and employed the Trieste for military missions as well. From its earliest years, participants in the Trieste program realized that they were making history, blazing a trail into previously unexplored and unexploited depths, developing new capabilities and opening a new frontier.

A Ceaseless Watch

Australia’s Third-Party Naval Defense, 1919–1942 BY ANGUS BRITTS “A Ceaseless Watch is an absorbing read and a worthy addition to scholarly works on Australian strategic history. It sits well with historical analytical works on the Pacific War.” —Australian Naval Institute A Ceaseless Watch: Australia’s Third Party Naval Defense, 1919–1942 illustrates how Australia confronted the need to base its post–World War I defense planning around the security provided by a major naval power: in the first instance, Britain, and later the United States. Spanning the period leading up to Australia’s greatest security crisis—the military threat posed by Japan throughout the majority of 1942—the work takes the reader all the way up to the defeat of the Imperial Japanese Navy by the United States Navy in the Solomon Islands campaign.

Britts illustrates the difficulty in forming a defense relationship between small and great powers, where the needs of the former are not subsumed by the interests of the latter, from the interwar years to the start of World War II. In an era when the entire Pacific region was at war, the inability of a larger power to fulfill its side of a defensive pact with a smaller power shaped the future of the region itself. ANGUS BRITTS is an Australian historian who resides in Sydney, New South Wales. He graduated with a postgraduate Research Masters from the University of Sydney and is the author of Neglected Skies: The Demise of British Naval Power in the Far East, 1922–42. His major area of historical interest is British imperial naval defense and the Singapore strategy.

War and Resistance in the Philippines, 1942–1944 BY JAMES KELLY MORNINGSTAR “War and Resistance in the Philippines is a must-have for anyone interested in this fascinating and important history.” —James Scott, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Rampage and Target Tokyo War and Resistance in the Philippines, 1942–1944, repairs the fragmentary and incomplete history of events in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944. No book has comprehensively examined the Filipino resistance during this crucial period. Here, James Kelly Morningstar provides for the first time a comprehensive history of the protracted fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago.

April 2021 384 pp. | 6 x 9 15 b/w illustrations, 8 b/w maps Hardcover | 978-1-68247-569-0 $39.95 | Holiday Price: $19.98

Beginning with the Japanese occupation, the collapse of the United States Forces, Far East (USAFFE), and the simultaneous rise of the complex, diverse Philippine guerrilla movements, Morningstar exposes the inadequacy of MacArthur’s conventional plans while revealing his inchoate preparation for guerrilla resistance. Morningstar then recounts in detail the impromptu resistance led by refugee American and Filipino soldiers, local politicians, and social revolutionaries left to battle the Japanese—and each other—with emphasis on how Japanese, American, and Filipino actions influenced and proscribed each other. JAMES KELLY MORNINGSTAR is a retired U.S. Army armor officer and decorated combat veteran with degrees from West Point and Kansas State University, a master’s degree from Georgetown University, and a PhD from the University of Maryland. He currently teaches military history at Georgetown. He is the author of Patton’s War: A Radical Theory of War.

The Craft of Wargaming

A Detailed Planning Guide for Defense Planners and Analysts BY COL. JEFF APPLEGET, USA (RET.), COL.

It complements previous handbooks and adds a focus on the institutional implementation of wargames.” —The Strategy Bridge “A superb compendium for both defense planners and analysts as well as the designers of quality games. An absolutely must-have addition to the shelves of any serious practitioner of war games or consumers of their output.” —Robert O. Work, 32nd United States Deputy Secretary of Defense and Undersecretary of the Navy

September 2020 376 pp. | 6 x 9 7 figures, 2 tables Hardcover | ISBN: 978-1-68247-376-4 $39.95 | Holiday Price: $19.98

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. He now focuses on teaching quantitative methods and wargaming to the SOF community. FRED CAMERON was a civilian analyst in the Canadian Department of National Defence for thirty-five years. He now teaches wargaming courses.

Thomas Power was second only to Curtis LeMay in forming the Strategic Air Command (SAC), one of the premier combat organizations of the twentieth century, but he is rarely mentioned today. What little is written about Power describes him as LeMay’s willing hatchet man—uneducated, unimaginative, autocratic, and sadistic. Based on extensive archival research, To Rule the Skies seeks to overturn this appraisal.

Brent D. Ziarnick covers the span of both Power’s personal and professional life and challenges many of the myths of conventional knowledge about him. Denied college because his middle-class immigrant family imploded while he was still in school, Power worked in New York City construction while studying for the Flying Cadet examination at night in the New York Public Library. As a young pilot, Power participated in some of the Army Air Corps’ most storied operations. In the interwar years, his family connections allowed Power to interact with American Wall Street millionaires and the British aristocracy. Confined to training combat aircrews in the United States for most of World War II, Power proved his combat leadership as a bombing wing commander by planning and leading the firebombing of Tokyo for Gen. Curtis LeMay. After the war, Power helped LeMay transform the Air Force into the aerospace force America needed during the Cold War. A master of strategic air warfare, he aided in establishing SAC as the Free World’s Big Stick against Soviet aggression. Far from being unimaginative, Power led the incorporation of the nuclear weapon, the intercontinental ballistic missile, the airborne alert, and the Single Integrated Operational Plan into America’s deterrent posture as Air Research and Development Command commander and both the vice commander and commander-in-chief of SAC. Most importantly, Power led SAC through the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Even after retirement, Power as a New York Times bestselling author brought his message of deterrence through strength to the nation. BRENT D. ZIARNICK is an assistant professor at the Air Command and Staff College, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. He has been published in Wired, Politico, and The Hill. He is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies.

The Fall and Rise of French Sea Power

France’s Quest for an Independent Naval Policy, 1940–1963 BY HUGUES CANUEL

April 2021 368 pp. | 6 x 9 15 b/w photos, 14 tables, 1 b/w map Hardcover | 978-1-68247-616-1 $54.95 | Holiday Price: $27.48

The Fall and Rise of French Sea Power explores the renewal of French naval power from the fall of France in 1940 through the first two decades of the Cold War. The Marine nationale continued fighting after the Armistice, a service divided against itself. The destruction of French sea power—at the hands of the Allies, the Axis, and fratricidal confrontations in the colonies— continued unabated until the scuttling of the Vichy fleet in 1942. And yet, just over twenty years after this dark day, Charles de Gaulle announced a plan to complement the country’s nuclear deterrent with a force of nuclear-powered, ballistic missile-carrying submarines. Completing the rebuilding effort that followed the nadir in Toulon, this force provided the means to make the Marine nationale a fully-fledged blue-water navy again, ready to face the complex circumstances of the Cold War. HUGUES CANUEL is currently employed as Defense Attaché in Japan. He earned a PhD in War Studies from the Royal Military College of Canada. Following command at sea, he served with the NATO Training Mission—Afghanistan. He focusses his research on Cold War history and East Asian contemporary affairs.

Strategy Shelved

The Collapse of Cold War Naval Strategic Planning BY STEVEN T. WILLS “Strategy Shelved is an extraordinary, timely, and much-needed addition to the strategic literature of the U.S. Navy. Wills argues convincingly that institutional self-knowledge is critical for success in strategy especially in periods of fundamental strategic, technological, and organizational change such as the Navy now finds itself. It is a must-read for naval leaders, strategists, and scholars alike.” —Capt. Peter D. Haynes, U.S. Navy (Ret.), author of Toward a New Maritime Strategy: American Naval Thinking in the Post-Cold War Era As U.S. strategy shifts to focus on great power competition, Strategy Shelved provides a valuable, analytic look back to the Cold War era by examining the rise and eventual fall of the U.S. Navy’s strategy system from post–World War II to 1994. Steven T. Wills draws some important conclusions that have relevance to the ongoing strategic debates of today.

August 2021 304 pp. | 6 x 9 Hardcover | 978-1-68247-633-8 $44.95 | Holiday Price: $22.48

His analysis focuses on the 1970s and 1980s as a period when U.S. Navy strategic thought was rebuilt after a period of stagnation during the Vietnam conflict and its high-water mark in the form of the 1980s’ Maritime Strategy and its attendant six hundred–ship navy force structure. He traces the collapse of this earlier system by identifying several contributing factors: the provisions of the Goldwater Nichols Act of 1986, the aftermath of the First Gulf War of 1991, the early 1990s’ revolution in military affairs, and the changes to the Chief of Naval Operations staff in 1992 following the end of the Cold War. All of these conditions served to undermine the existing naval strategy system. Wills concludes his analysis with an assessment of the return of naval strategy documents in 2007 and 2015 and speculates on the potential for success of current Navy strategies, including the latest tri-service maritime strategy. STEVEN T. WILLS is an expert in U.S. Navy strategy and policy at the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) in Arlington, VA. He served for twenty years as a U.S. Navy surface warfare officer. He also holds a PhD and MA in history from Ohio University, an MA from the United States Naval War College, and a BA in history from Miami University, Oxford, OH.

Cyberspace in Peace and War, Second Edition BY MARTIN C.

Covering technology, human factors and doctrine in equal measure, Libicki delivers a book that the reader can employ as a ready reference to assist in navigating the complex landscape of strategy and policy for a domain on which all others depend.” —Chris Inglis, former deputy director, National Security Agency This updated and expanded edition of Cyberspace in Peace and War by Martin C. Libicki presents a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity, cyberwar, and cyber-terrorism. From basic concepts to advanced principles, Libicki examines the sources and consequences of system compromises, addresses strategic aspects of cyberwar, and defines cybersecurity in the context of military operations while highlighting unique aspects of the digital battleground and strategic uses of cyberwar.

Mahan, Corbett, and the Foundations of Naval Strategic Thought BY KEVIN D. MCCRANIE “Kevin McCranie has produced a brilliant synthesis, a long overdue examination of the maritime theorists whose works have informed the strategic decisions of the maritime states that have dominated world affairs for two centuries. McCranie has done for naval theory what Michael Handel did for Clausewitz and Sun Tzu.” —K.J. Delamer, fleet seminar professor, Naval War College Mahan, Corbett, and the Foundations of Naval Strategic Thought provides an in-depth introduction and a means to stimulate discussion about the theories of Mahan and Corbett. This window into naval strategy provides twentyfirst-century readers an understanding of what navies can and perhaps more importantly cannot do in the international environment. KEVIN D. MCCRANIE is the Philip A. Crowl Professor of Comparative Strategy at the United States Naval War College in Newport, RI. He is the author of Admiral Lord Keith and the Naval War against Napoleon and Utmost Gallantry: The U.S. and Royal Navies at Sea in the War of 1812.

Marine Maxims

BY BENJAMIN F. ARMSTRONG AND JOHN FREYMANN While recommending that officers read broadly in pursuit of individual knowledge is an important part of creating a truly educated and professional Fleet and Fleet Marine Force, it is also important for leaders in the sea services to offer mentorship and create opportunities for discourse that encourages group learning. Developing the Naval Mind serves as a how-to manual and syllabus for leaders to create and lead wardroom, ready room, and work center discussion groups across the fleet to create a more educated and professionally engaged Navy and Marine Corps. BENJAMIN F. ARMSTRONG is a permanent military professor at the U.S. Naval Academy. After spending the first half of his career as a Search and Rescue and Special Warfare helicopter pilot, he earned his PhD in War Studies with King’s College, London before becoming a naval educator. JOHN FREYMANN is a permanent military professor at the U.S. Naval Academy. After spending the first half of his career as a Surface Warfare Officer, he earned his PhD in the history of Christianity from the University of Chicago before becoming a naval educator.

Russian and Soviet Battleships BY STEPHEN MCLAUGHLIN Russian and Soviet Battleships is the definitive English language overview of Russian and Soviet battleships, from the ironclad Petr Velikii of 1869 to Stalin’s final projects. Meticulously researched, this work describes and illustrates the design histories, technical details, characteristics, and service histories of the forty seagoing battleships that served in the Russian and Soviet Navies. This is the first book about Russian battleships to draw from Russian language materials, including books and articles published since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Some one hundred drawings of ships and design studies, many specially commissioned for this book, are showcased, as well as one hundred photographs, many of them never published in the west. The author, Stephen McLaughlin, analyzes all aspects of battleship design, from the policy decisions behind their construction to details of fire control and gunnery. He evaluates their strengths and weaknesses compared with foreign contemporaries. In addition, McLaughlin outlines numerous projected battleships and conjectural studies. As he examines the active— and often tragic—careers of these ships, he reassesses many of the myths and misconceptions associated with Russian ships and the Russian navy.

Layman, and completed the manuscript of Jutland: The Naval Staff Appreciation after the death of his friend William Schleihauf. McLaughlin worked as a librarian for the San Francisco Public Library for thirty-five years before retiring in 2017 and lives in Richmond, California.

Korean Odyssey

A Novel of a Marine Rifle Company in the Forgotten War BY DALE A. DYE “Well plotted and fast-paced, [Korean Odyssey is] historically accurate with just enough technical detail, and the unmistakable ring of authority. Dye's description of the 1950s Marine Corps will resound among warriors of any war. —Barrett Tillman, author of When the Shooting Stopped: August 1945 Captain Sad Sam Gerdine is marking time at Camp Pendleton in the summer of 1950. He’s finally been given command of the rifle company he worked for with such focus that he lost both his wife and the child he loves. It’s not much of a command in the diminished post-World War II Marine Corps, but he’s doing his best with an outfit misfits led by a solid cadre of anxious young officers and savvy, combat-hardened senior NCOs.

November 2021 Warriors Publishing Group, distributed by Naval Institute Press 353 pp. | 6 x 9 Hardcover 978-1-94435-338-4 $26.95 | Holiday price: $13.48

When war in Korea breaks out Captain Gerdine proceeds to make Able Company, 5th Marines a combat-ready outfit prepared to face the rigors of war in Korea. From the Pusan Perimeter to the audacious landing at Inchon and on into the frigid, intense combat at the Chosin Reservoir, Sad Sam’s Marines mold and meld into a shining example of how U.S. Marines get the job done despite formidable odds. DALE A. DYE served in the United States Marine Corps for twenty-one years before retiring as a Captain.

Our nation needs that.” —President George H. W. Bush, LT JG, USNR Saltwater Leadership, Second Edition is about leadership in the maritime environment. The unforgiving, dynamic, and unconquerable nature of the sea requires direct leadership, often with very little margin of error.

Based on decades of leadership experiences, Saltwater Leadership covers a wide variety of topics, including basic junior officer leadership, taking care of people, providing forceful backup, leadership and culture, and professional competence.

Maritime Unmanned

From Global Hawk to Triton BY ERNEST SNOWDEN AND ROBERT F. WOOD “Unmanned systems remain a controversial issue thought industry, and DoD is certainly no exception. Snowden and Wood have done a masterful job assessing the cost and potential impact of unmanned systems in the maritime domain. Their work will assist decision-makers in the months ahead.” —Adm. Timothy J. Keating, USN (Ret.)

Maritime Unmanned recounts the promising beginning, demoralizing setbacks, and ultimate success of the visionaries who championed unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) technology for the U.S. Navy. Even before UAS entered the common vernacular of American defense programs, large movements in world and national politics from the early 1990s onward had a formative influence on what would become the Air Force’s Global Hawk. From that earliest time, through the formal selection of Triton as the U.S. Navy’s preferred UAS system in 2008, Maritime Unmanned reveals the successes and difficult challenges in defense acquisition. This was the first time in the history of naval aviation that an unmanned aerial vehicle was adopted into frontline squadron inventories and was in this instance an enabling component of the maritime patrol and reconnaissance mission. What should have been a simple cross-service transition of a DARPA and Air Force–developed UAS (Global Hawk) took twenty years from introduction of the concept to realization of its initial operational capability. ERNEST SNOWDEN is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and a former naval aviator. He is also the author of Winged Brothers. ROBERT F. WOOD is a retired naval aviator and a veteran of the Gulf War. Since his retirement, he has pursued a twenty-three-year career in business as a senior executive and consultant in the aerospace and defense industries.

—S. Mike Pavelec, chair, Department of Airpower, Air Command and Staff College On Operations: Operational Art and Military Disciplines traces the history of the development of military staffs and ideas on the operational level of war and operational art from the Napoleonic Wars to today, viewing them through the lens of Prussia/Germany, the Soviet Union, and the United States. B. A. Friedman concludes that the operational level of war should be rejected as fundamentally flawed, but that operational art is an accurate description of the activities of the military staff, an organization developed to provide the brainpower necessary to manage the complexity of modern military operations. Rather than simply serve as an intercession between levels, the military staff exists as an enabler and supporting organization to tacticians and strategists alike.

B. A. FRIEDMAN holds a BA in history from The Ohio State University, an MA in national security and strategic studies from the U.S. Naval War College, and is currently enrolled in King’s College London, studying the early U.S. Marine Corps and naval strategy.

A Navy Admiral’s Bronze Rules

A NAVY ADMIRAL’S

Managing Risk and Leadership

Navy Admiral’s Bronze Rules uses case studies to explore the inherent risks of leadership and the tools available to those who nevertheless wish to shoulder those responsibilities. Real-world examples are used and inevitably expose hitherto unrevealed history. The latter includes a secret of the Yom Kippur War, the background of the 1986 bloodless revolution in the Philippines, how Admiral Elmo “Bud” Zumwalt was such a unique Chief of Naval Operations, why our National War Plan suddenly had to be revised during the Reagan years, and what spurred President Bill Clinton’s anti-nuclear proliferation success.

BY REAR ADM. DAVE OLIVER, USN (RET.)

“Dave Oliver had a ringside seat for some of the most significant events that attended the collapse of the Soviet Union. This fascinating book describes some of those events. In reading the book you will learn that Dave was not only an observer but a doer; indeed, some of these remarkable events may never have occurred had it not been for Dave’s bold actions.”

Rear Admiral Oliver sketches the problems a leader will routinely (and not so routinely) face. He invites the reader to consider the attributes that will help best prepare them for future challenges. These thirty-five case studies demonstrate that few real leadership problems will yield to a “one hammer” solution. No matter how good a practitioner may become with one leadership style, a single knock-them-dead ability seldom serves to get a leader all the way through a problem or conflict. Oliver thus provides a range of tools for different personalities and situations, giving the potential leader a variety of solutions to fit the problem as well as an individual’s personal comfort zone.

“Friedman deconstructs the ideas and history of Operational Level of War and Operational Art in this concise volume. Then, as in previous writings, builds a new theory towards a reconceptualization of the Operational Art for modern practitioners, building bridges between tactics and strategy. This is a must-read for any aspiring staff officer.”

Fighting the Fleet

Operational Art and Modern Fleet Combat BY JEFFREY R. CARES AND ANTHONY COWDEN “This is simply the best work of its kind on the fusion of operational art in the maritime domain. It is accessible, grounded in operations analysis, and is underpinned by historical example. It should be required reading for our naval warriors so we might win when next called upon.” —Rear Adm. Jeffrey Harley, USN (Ret.) Fighting the Fleet recognizes that fleets conduct four distinct but interlocking tasks at the operational level of war—striking, screening, scouting, and basing—and that successful operational art is achieved when they are brought to bear in a cohesive, competitive scheme. In explaining these elements and how they are conjoined for advantage, a central theme emerges: despite the utility and importance of jointness among the armed forces, the effective employment of naval power requires a specialized language and understanding of naval concepts that is often diluted or completely lost when too much jointness is introduced.

Redefining the Modern Military The Intersection of Profession and Ethics

EDITED BY NATHAN K. FINNEY AND TYRELL O. MAYFIELD; FOREWORD BY GEN. MARTIN E. DEMPSEY, USA (RET.), 18TH CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF “Redefining the Modern Military is an earnest exploration of what constitutes professionalism in the American military, how it is affected by long wars, technological and societal changes, and an appeal for critical thinking about failures both operational and ethical.” —Kori N. Schake, Deputy Director-General of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), Author, Warriors and Citizens: American Views of Our Military and Safe Passage: The Transition from British to American Hegemony This edited collection examines the changing character of military professionalism and the role of ethics in the twenty-first-century military. The authors, who range from uniformed military to academics to non-uniformed professionals on the battlefield, delve into whether the concepts of Samuel Huntington, Morris Janowitz, and Sir John Hackett still apply, how training and continuing education play a role in defining a profession, and if a universal code of ethics is required for the military as a profession.

Great Powers, Grand Strategies offers the analysis of a dozen experts on the big picture approaches to the South China Sea dispute. By exploring the international dimensions of this regional hotspot, Gordon Chang, Bernard Cole, James Fanell, Bill Hayton, and others examine how the military, diplomatic, and economic strategies of the major global actors have both contributed to solutions and exacerbated the potential for conflict. As editor of this volume, Anders Corr seeks to juxtapose the grand strategies of the great powers to determine the likely outcomes of the South China Sea dispute, as well as evaluate the ways to possibly defuse tensions in the region. ANDERS CORR is the publisher of the Journal of Political Risk. In addition to visiting all South China Sea claimant countries, he has undertaken field research in Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Brunei. Dr. Corr conducted analysis for USPACOM, CENTCOM, EUCOM, SOCPAC, and NATO, including work in Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Ukraine.

“As with most primary sources, the journal of William Speiden is full of unanswered questions, partial observations and tantalizing hints of larger issues. But readers, whether those interested the maritime world of the mid-nineteenth century or in the history of US-Japanese diplomatic history, will find many nuggets in the work.”

The only comparative analysis available of the great navies of World War I, this work studies the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom, the German Kaiserliche Marine, the U.S. Navy, the French Marine Nationale, the Italian Regia Marina, the Austro-Hungarian Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine, and the Imperial Russian Navy to demonstrate why the war was won not in the trenches, but upon the waves. It explains why these seven fleets fought the way they did and why the war at sea did not develop as the admiralties and politicians of 1914 expected. After discussing each navy’s goals and circumstances and how their individual characteristics impacted the way they fought, the authors deliver a side-by-side analysis of the conflict’s fleets, with each chapter covering a single navy. Parallel chapter structures assure consistent coverage of each fleet—history, training, organization, doctrine, matériel, and operations—and allow readers to easily compare information among the various navies. Such a study has special relevance today as twentieth-century navies struggle to adapt to twenty-first-century technologies. VINCENT P. O’HARA is the author of several works of naval history, most recently, Six Victories: North Africa, Malta, and the Mediterranean Convoy War November 1941–March 1942. He was the Naval Institute Press Author of the Year for 2015 and holds a history degree from the University of California, Berkeley. W. DAVID DICKSON is the author of The Battle of the Philippine Sea and lives in Hernando, MS. RICHARD WORTH is the author of Fleets of World War II, In the Shadow of the Battleship, and Raising the Red Banner.

A Quiet Cadence A Novel

BY MARK TREANOR "An extraordinary story about the Vietnam War . . . and post traumatic stress . . . You won't be able to put it down." —Adm. Mike Mullen, USN (Ret.), 17th Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Sometimes it takes years for a combat vet to understand what war did to him when he was nineteen. With the perception and reflection of a man on the cusp of retirement from a career teaching high school kids, Marty McClure recalls the relentless intensity of prolonged combat as a teenaged Marine machine gunner facing booby traps and battles in a war with few boundaries.

Family and friends know Marty as a kind, peaceful man. They aren’t aware that when he was young, he plumbed the depths of terror, hatred, and despair with no assurance he’d ever surface again. Now he needs to reveal what happened in Vietnam and how, with the help of Patti, his wife, Corrie Corrigan, a disabled vet, and Doc Matheson, a corpsman turned trauma surgeon, he works to become a good husband, father, and teacher while he fights to bury the war. Only if he accepts help from his wife and his friends will he find real peace. MARK TREANOR, a Naval Academy graduate, was a Marine rifle platoon leader in Vietnam, an artillery battery commander, and leadership instructor and later served on the boards of the National Defense University and the Naval Academy. A lawyer, corporate executive, and leadership coach, he has participated in national security fact-finding missions in Iraq, Yemen, Africa, and the Caucasus. He lives in Maryland and Vermont.

“Battle Line masterfully evokes the interwar Navy and explains how it carried the seeds of World War II victory—and, for that matter, the seeds of the current Navy, too.”

“Despite the many books that have been written on the subject, Pearl Harbor continues to be of great interest to Americans, and this book adds significant information to the literature.” —Paul Stillwell, editor of Air Raid: Pearl Harbor! Recollections of a Day of Infamy

—NORMAN FRIEDMAN, author of U.S. Battleships: An Illustrated Design History

Hone and Hone

“Tom and Trent Hone bring new and deeper understanding of the U.S. Navy’s preparations for World War II in technology, tactics, and training.”

“The authors have faithfully reported what should be the final investigation of the Kimmel-Short case. Their perceptions, coupled with the Dorn Report, should end all controversy on this issue.” —Norman Polmar, naval analyst and historian

—CAPT. WAYNE P. HUGHES JR., USN (RET.), author of Fleet Tactics and Naval Operations, Third Edition

In late 1995 amid heated debate over the blame placed on Rear Adm. Husband E. Kimmel and Maj. Gen. Walter C. Short for the devastation of the attack on Pearl Harbor and their subsequent demotions, the Department of Defense ordered its own investigation into the matter. This investigation was the only official inquiry made into the appropriateness of posthumously promoting Kimmel and Short to the ranks they held prior to the attack.

Battle Line examines the twenty-year period that saw the U.S. fleet shrink under the pressure of arms limitation treaties and government economy and then grow again to a world-class force. The authors trace the Navy’s evolution from a fleet centered around slow battleships to one that deployed most of the warship types that proved so essential in World War II. Based on years of study of official Navy department records, this book presents a comprehensive view of the foundations of a navy that would become the world’s largest and most formidable. At the same time, the heart of the work draws on memoirs, novels, and oral histories to reveal the efforts and the skills of the sailors and officers who contributed to successes in World War II. This combination of popular history and archival history will appeal to a general audience of naval enthusiasts.

This book reproduces the complete report issued by the investigators with added commentary and an explanation of what it all means by coauthors Fred Borch and Daniel Martinez. Borch was the Army’s representative on the team conducting the investigation, and Martinez, an acknowledged expert on the attack, gives an important historical perspective to the study. A foreword by Donald Goldstein gives further insight into what happened and why on that fateful December day.

Thomas C. Hone is a former senior executive in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and a former member of the faculty of the Naval War College. He is an award-winning author of many books, articles, and essays on naval and military affairs.

Fred Borch is a retired Army colonel whose last assignment on active duty was as the Chief Prosecutor for Military Commissions at GTMO. At present, he is the Regimental Historian for the Army JAG Corps and the Professor of Legal History and Leadership at The JAG Legal Center and School.

Trent Hone is an authority on the U.S. Navy of the early twentieth century and a leader in the application of complexity science to organizational design. He writes and speaks about tactical doctrine, organizational learning, and complexity and is the author of Learning War: The Evolution of Fighting Doctrine in the U.S. Navy, 1898–1945.

“In 2004, James Hornfischer’s book on the gallantry of U.S. warships’ crews in the Battle of Leyte Gulf burst onto the scene as a supernova. It was the equivalent of a baseball player hitting a grand-slam home run in his first time at bat. His vivid word pictures conjured up a variety of scenes in the minds of readers. Now a team of skilled professionals has brought those words to life in another medium, thus providing visual images of the actions that Hornfischer described so well.” —Paul Stillwell, author of Battleship Commander: The Life of Vice Admiral Willis A. Lee Jr.
