11/23/2009 - The Battle of the Bulge: The Photographic History of an American Triumph
"The images in The Battle of the Bulge convey with stark honesty the brutality of war, along with the fraternity and solidarity it inspires. Along with the photographs, Bruning provides a detailed account of the battle, beginning with background discussion of the race to the Seigfried Line and analysis of Hitler’s plan. He then gives a detailed play-by-play of the action—the moves and countermoves on various sections of the battlefield. Stories are told on the division, regiment and individual levels; many officers and soldiers are mentioned by name—those whose heroic exploits and sacrifices would earn them the Medal of Honor, as well as those who buckled under pressure."

11/9/2009 - The Enemy I Knew: German Jews in the Allied Military in World War II
A book feature about veterans featured in The Enemy I Knew was run in the Sunday, November 8, 2009 edition of the Chicago Tribune. Read the article at chicagotribune.com

10/15/2009 - The Enemy I Knew "This is a collection of 27 first-person combat accounts, sought out by the author, from German and Austrian Jews who served in the Allied Armed Forces in North Africa and Europe. These men (and one woman) had emigrated as children or young adults to the United States or Great Britain between 1937 and 1941. All of them jumped at the chance to fight the Nazis, and all served in combat (the woman was an ambulance driver). One man served in both the European and the Pacific theaters and returned to Germany in 1946 for occupation duty. These accounts, all newly published, are filled with terror and a simple courage, with a feeling of a duty fulfilled. Recommended."—Library Journal

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.

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.

6/18/2009 - F6F Hellcat at War
"A new addition to Zenith’s outstanding ‘At War’ series, F6F Hellcat at War is bound to get any naval aviation buff’s blood stirring. Over 100 photos, many in color, present the complete history of this legendary carrier-launched warbird from its initial design and development in the mid-1940s by Grumman Aircraft Corporation at its Long Island factory to its successful combat career in the Pacific…
"Through compelling accounts, previously unpublished photos, and detailed engineering drawings, Graff does an excellent job of tracing the Hellcat’s lineage and manufacture, then its roles as one of the most feared fighters of the war." —WWII History, September 2009.

6/1/2009 - One Giant Leap: Apollo 11 Remembered
"The first two-thirds of this pictorial history of the Apollo 11 moon mission, which took place in July 1969, includes text by Bizony (The Man Who Ran the Moon: James E. Webb, NASA, and the Secret History of Project Apollo) and pictures from the mission. The final third is a selection of mostly color photos taken before, during, and after the flight. Via analytical and penetrating text, Bizony puts Apollo 11 and the entire space race in historical context. He compares the first moon mission to the United States’ current planned crusade and finds that the Apollo program was one of the greatest engineering achievements of all time. The new moon program will take much longer to complete, a demonstration of the space race urgency of the 1960s and NASA’s remarkable ability to fulfill its first moon landing. Engineers in the current program are examining hardware from the Apollo program to get design ideas. Verdict The selection of pictures is outstanding. Readers will recognize many of them yet will still be enthralled. Recommended for space buffs." —Library Journal, June 1, 2009.

6/1/2009 - Piercing the Fog of War: Recognizing Change on the Battlefield
"We don’t want to fight the last war again, so how do we meet the challenge of the new war? What is the balance between experience and innovation? Steed, a U.S. Army officer who has taught battlefield tactics, offers a template to recognize game-changing innovation and provides historical examples in which a commander altered the battlefield to defeat a superior, complacent enemy, e.g., at Little Bighorn and more recently at Grozny (1996). For serious readers in military history." —Library Journal, June 1, 2009.
