2/2/2010 - Operation Phantom Fury: The Assault and Capture of Fallujah, Iraq
"Marine master historian and author Dick Camp has written the definitive account of the two major battles for the city of Fallujah and a "spot-on" historical account of one of our Marines’ hardest fights since the Vietnam-era ended. The book is exquisite to hold in your hands; beautifully bound, it contains more than 150 color photos set on high-quality manuscript paper."—Leatherneck Magazine, February 2010.

1/29/2010 - Boeing 787 Dreamliner
"Combining the writing of Norris, a senior editor with Aviation Week & Space Technology, and Wagner’s professional photography, this is a good pre-flight history of the airliner’s troubled but also path-breaking development. Briefly tracing the 787’s forebears, the authors related the brief and sad story of the mis-conceived ‘Sonic Cruiser’ that fell flat with customers. Moving on to the 787, we see how early artist renderings bore little relationship to the final airplane; that handsome shark-like fin, for example, eventually became just another jetliner tail in the end. But the real stories here—and why the airplane is important, as well as why it is late—are its extensive use of composite materials and the global outsourcing of component design… Norris tells the story straight—as one of breakthroughs and breakdowns, while Wagner’s often striking photos bring the text to life."—Airways, March 2010.
12/30/2009 - Operation Phantom Fury: The Assault and Capture of Fallujah, Iraq
"The Second Battle for Fallujah, dubbed Operation Phantom Fury, took place over an almost two-month period, from Nov. 7 to Dec. 23, 2004. The Marine Corps’ biggest battle in Iraq to date, it was so prolonged and fierce that it has entered the pantheon of USMC battles alongside Iwo Jima, Inchon, and Hue City. This book offers an in-depth, intimate look into Operation Phantom Fury, the single most significant battle undertaken during the occupation of Iraq. It is a rare firsthand account of the brutal reality of the war in Iraq, how this battle for a key city was fought, and how such a crucial battle looks from positions of command and from the thick of the fight."—Military Officer, March 2010.
