9/30/2009 - How America Saved the World: The Untold Story of U.S. Preparedness Between the World Wars
"Hammel’s well-written, orderly narrative explains clearly how the U.S. military geared itself up for the biggest, widest ranging fight in the nation’s history long before the first bombs fell on Pearl Harbor, and thus how America saved the world. Highly
recommended.—WWII History, November 2009.
9/30/2009 - A Hundred Feet Over Hell: Flying With the Men of the 220th Recon Airplane Company Over I Corps and the DMZ, Vietnam 1968-1969
"Hooper examines various combat encounters from many points of view to build detailed composite pictures of events. And he delves deeply into the emotions and bonds that held the unit together, recounting amusing after-hours high jinks, the grim humor of wartime, and the washing away of a day’s stress in that universal solvent, alcohol.
"The best thing about the book is that—conversational re-creations notwithstanding—every page rings true, and with very rare exception, names are named. Writing fearlessly and with an artfulness that few others have managed, Hooper has captured the ironies, the buccaneer’s ethos, and the rhythms of men at war.
"Thirty years ago, Robert Mason published Chickenhawk, a classic personal account of Vietnam helicopter operations that is still as potent as a satchel charge. I’d rank A Hundred Feet Over Hell right up there with it. —Air & Space Magazine, October 2009.
9/30/2009 - A Blue Sea of Blood: Deciphering the Mysterious Fate of the USS Edsall "Reading much like a true mystery novel with a lot of tension and suspense built into each page, A Blue Sea of Blood is a welcome addition to a period of the Pacific War which the Navy is still loathe to talk about." —Sea Classics, October 2009.
9/30/2009 - The Bloody Triangle: The Defeat of Soviet Armor in the Ukraine, June 1941 "The author has performed an excellent job in the complex task of reconstructing events and explaining the defeat of the Red tank force. Kamenir has used many sources long neglected in the West…this book is well worth the time of the general reading audience and senior military leaders. The Bloody Triangle is not just a contribution to the growing revisionist literature concerning
the Soviet-German conflict; it is also a parable of the difficulties that military organizations suffer when they are caught in transition from one doctrine and force structure to another." —Parameters, Summer 2009.
9/30/2009 - A Blue Sea of Blood: Deciphering the Mysterious Fate of the USS Edsall "In A Blue Sea of Blood, his first book, author Kehn does a masterful detective job in delving into long-sealed Japanese records, previously unknown material from crewmembers' families, and U.S. Dutch, and Japanese documents to reveal, as completely as possible, what happened to the Edsall and her crew...With the publication of the riveting A Blue Sea of Blood, it is unlikely that the Edsall and her crew will be forgotten any time soon." —WWII History, September 2009.
