The Devil Boats
PT boats loom large in the popular imagination of World War II. In March 1942, a PT boat evacuated Gen. Douglas MacArthur, his family, and top staff from the Philippines, which inspired the war movie They Were Expendable, directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne. John F. Kennedy became a war hero while commanding PT-109, which collided with a Japanese destroyer and was sunk in August 1943. But the story of PT boats has never been told in the depth and detail that their exemplary service deserves. Naval historian C. J. Skamarakas uses one Pacific PT boat squadron to tell the story of PT boats in action in World War II. Eighty feet long, PT boats were designed to launch torpedoes against ...

Naval Warfare 1919-45
Naval Warfare 1919–45 is a comprehensive history of the war at sea from the end of the Great War to the end of World War Two. Showing the bewildering nature and complexity of the war facing those charged with fighting it around the world, this book ranges far and wide: sweeping across all naval theatres and those powers performing major, as well as minor, roles within them. Armed with the latest material from an extensive set of sources, Malcolm H. Murfett has written an absorbing as well as a comprehensive reference work. He demonstrates that superior equipment and the best intelligence, ominous power and systematic planning, vast finance and suitable training are often simply not enough in themselves to guarantee the successful outcome of a particular encounter at sea. Sometimes the narrow difference between victory and defeat hinges on those infinite variables: the individual’s performance under acute pressure and sheer luck. Naval Warfare 1919–45 is an analytical and interpretive study which is an accessible and fascinating read both for students and for interested members of the general public.
Failure Matters
Dr. Curtis L. Nelson III's "Failure Matters," a memoir, is a series of movements involving a visionless youth and his family and struggles in this, "Coming of age rock bottom," period that led to enlightenment. I realized that without some real personal character change, I was going to be a failure and not live up to my potential. It was having to get into yet another fight that was symbolic of a greater point that I was not getting ahead. I was in a place of existence that was marred by fighting, both internally and externally. I was a sophomore in high school and lost. At a minimum, this book is a testament to unconditional hope for oneself, others and life. At its best, though, this book is a blueprint for achieving something of immeasurably great worth: self-actualization. I hope that a reader's time spent traveling these pages will move you to a place of more wisdom and inspiration.
