ARIZONA MOON A Novel of Vietnam

By J. M. Graham

In 1967, the inamous Arizona erritory o Vietnam’s An Hoa basin was a cru-cible that orged the souls o men. Trough the booby-trapped trails o one othe conflict’s most hotly contested ree-fire zones, thousands o Vietnamese andAmericans ought and died while others learned what it means to finally l ive.

Arizona Moon binds together the ates o three men who went to war to findmeaning, but ound only Vietnam. Cpl. Raymond Strader is a Marine Corpssquad leader and designated platoon sniper who is counting down the daysbeore he can return to Pennsylvania. LCpl. Noche Gonshayee is an ApacheIndian eared by his ellow Marines and who sees any non-Apache as a potentialenemy. ruong Nghi is a North Vietnamese Army (NVA) student volunteercaught up in patriotic ervor and is helping an NVA unit move munitionssouth in anticipation o the et Offensive.

Blood is shed when Nghi’s NVA unit silently eliminates a listening post com-manded by Gonshayee and disappears into the night. What the Marine platoonfinds in the morning doesn’t look like an NVA action, but murder. Te comatoseGonshayee is the only suspect.

Fresh rom the Arizona erritory, Corporal Strader has only two days and a wakeup remaining o his time in country when bureaucratic expedience ripshim away rom finalizing his departure paperwork and throws him back intothe line o fire. His assignment was supposed to be a simple escort mission tobring a prisoner back to An Hoa. But when the NVA shoot down the helicoptercarrying Strader and Gonshayee, a deadly game o cat and mouse breaks outacross the ace o the Ong u Mountains as the NVA desperately try to protecttheir cargo and the Marines try to save their comrades.

Compelling and relentless, Arizona Moon presents two sides o a conflict that epitomizes esprit de corps and leaves no one unscathed.

“Te Arizona was scarred with trails that went in every direction, but to use them meant death. Tis was the mostheavily mined landscape in Vietnam, where the booby trappers and mine layers had ree rein to ply their deadlycraf, some even raising it to a high art. Every bit o unexploded U.S. ordnance in the An Hoa basin ound its wayinto the Arizona, creatively transormed into some horrific surprise or the unwary, the careless, or the unlucky.From Go Noi Island all the way south until the Song u Bon twisted around the ue Son Mountains, every steptaken was a gamble unless the boot print of the man ahead tested the spot, proving it was reliable. You only trustedthe ground you stood on. And even then, you weren’t completely sure.” —From Arizona Moon: A Novel o Vietnam

China’s Quest for Great Power Ships, Oil, and Foreign Policy

By Bernard D. Cole

In Bernard Cole’s most recent work, he examines China’s national securitystrategy by exploring the three major elements—oreign policy, energy security,and naval power—that interact and influence China’s uture and its relations

with the United States.

A decade and a hal into the twenty-first century, Beijing requires reliableaccess to energy resources, the navy to deend that access, and oreign policiesto navigate saely toward its goals. Most importantly, the People’s LiberationArmy-Navy (PLAN) must be able to saeguard China’s regional maritimeinterests, especially the sovereignty disputes involving aiwan and the Yellow,East China, and South China Seas. Many Chinese naval officers and analyststhink the United States is determined to contain China and prevent it romachieving the dominant historical position to which it is entitled. Tis view

has been strengthened by Washington’s shif to Asia, transer o naval units tothe Pacific, and the March 2015 Maritime Strategy released by the U.S. Navy,Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.

China’s relationship with the United States is vital to both countries and to the world. Te relationship is based on both common and divergent interests ineconomics, military operations, and political goals and methods. China’s inter-national trading economy and ambition or a world-class navy require effectiveoreign diplomacy and participation in global affairs. Tis policy triecta inlarge part defines China’s posture to the world. Beijing is approximately halwaytoward its mid-century goal o deploying a navy capable o deending China’s

perceived maritime interests. China’s priorities ollow President Xi Jinping’sdefinition o national security as “comprehensive, encompassing politics, the

military, the economy, technology, the environment and culture.” As navalmodernization and energy security concerns enable different courses o action, Cole considers uture Chinese oreign policy choices.

CAPT. BERNARD D. COLE, USN (RET.), is proessor emeritus at the National War College. During his Navy career, he commanded the USS Rathburn(FF 1057) and Destroyer Squadron 35, and served as a naval gunfire liaison officer with the 3d Marine Division in Vietnam rom June 1967 to

FIGHTERS OVER THE FLEETBy Norman Friedman Fighters over the Fleet is an account o the parallel evolution o navalfighters or fleet air deense and the ships they sought to deend. Tis

volume concentrates on the three main pioneers o carrier warare:the Royal Navy, the U.S. Navy, and the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Because radar was not invented until the mid-1930s, fleet air deense was a primitive effort or flyers during the 1920s. Once the inno- vative system was developed and utilized, organized air deensebecame viable. Tus major naval-air battles o World War II—such asMidway, the “Pedestal” convoy, the Philippine Sea and Okinawa—are

portrayed as tests o the new technolog y. However, even radar wasultimately ound wanting during the kamikaze onslaught, which ledto postwar moves toward computer control and new kinds o fighters.

Afer 1945, the novel threats o nuclear weapons and stand-off mis-siles compounded the difficulties o naval air deense. Te second halo Fighters over the Fleet covers the U.S. and Royal Navies’ attempts toresolve these problems by examining the U.S. experience in Vietnamand British operations during the Falklands War. Te book then turnsto the U.S. development o techniques and technology to fight theOuter Air Battle in the 1980s beore concluding with the currentstate o technology-supported carrier fighters.

NORMAN FRIEDMAN is one o America’s best-known naval analysts

and historians, the author o more than orty books, and a regularcommentator on television and in the press.

with creating the groundbreaking Field Manual 3-24/Marine CorpWarfighting Publication 3-33.5 Counterinsurgency, the very counterinsurgency doctrine he had pleaded or. A unique blend o traditional and modern theory, this manual would prove to be essentiato the success o the Surge in Iraq that changed the course o the war

Crane’s account o the creation and implementation o the manuaaddresses its many criticisms, details what went wrong in Iraqand explains how the new doctrine was never properly applied inAghanistan. From the debates over the content to the ways it waused in the field, Cassandra in Oz covers lessons that should begleaned rom years o global war and displays the American militaryas a learning organization at its best.

DAZZLEDisguise and Disruption in War and ArtBy James Taylor

While it is a constant throughout history that conflict has inspiredand engendered great art, it is a much rarer event or art to impactdirectly upon the vicissitudes o war. Yet, in the course o World War I,a collision o naval strategy and the nascent modern art movement ledto some two thousand British ships going to sea as the largest paintedmodernist “canvases” in the world. Tey were covered in abstract, clash-ing, decorative, and geometric designs in a myriad o colors. Dazzlecamouflage had arrived.

Heavily inspired by the Cubism and British Vorticism art movements,dazzle was conceived and developed by celebrated artist and thennaval commander Norman Wilkinson. Dazzle camouflage rejectsconcealment in avor o disruption. It seeks to break up a ship’s sil-houette with brightly contrasting geometric designs to make a vessel’sspeed and direction incredibly difficult to discern. False paintedbow-waves and sterns were used to conuse and throw off the deadlyU-boat captains. Te high contrast shapes and colors urther made it

very difficult to match up a ship in the two halves o an optical navalrangefinder. Tis new book traces the development o the dazzleaesthetic rom theory into practice and beyond.

JAMES TAYLOR is a ormer curator o paintings at the National Mar-

itime Museum, Greenwich. His most recent books includes YourCountry Needs You: Te Secret History of the Propaganda Poster , Marine Painting and Careless alk Costs Lives.

RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP By Edward L. BeachIntroduction by Edward P. Stafford

“Tis is quite simply HE American submarine novel o WWII . . . writtenby a man who made eleven Pacific patrols, in the course o which he rose fomwatch officer through navigator and XO to captain, winning the Navy Crossin the process. Te background o this extensive personal experience permittedhim to invest his novel with absolute technical accuracy and verisimilitude.” —Edward P. Stafford, author of Te Big E: Te Story o the USS Enterprise

Universally praised or its powerully authentic depiction o submarine warare, Run Silent, Run Deep was an immediate success when published in 1955 andshot to the top o best-seller lists nationwide. In 1958, Hollywood adaptedthe novel or the big screen starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. Te NewYork imes said o the novel, “I ever a book had a ring o reality, this is it . . .combat passages rank with the most exciting written about any branch o the

service.” Te Saturday Review called the book “a classic,” and many reviewerscompared its author to such greats as C. S. Forester and Erich Maria Remarque.oday these accolades still ring true or Edward L. Beach’s gripping first novelo American submariners conronting a ormidable Japanese navy in a viciousbattle to control the Pacific. Beach’s taut and dramatic narrative, told with theintimacy o a conession, deals with two strong-willed men, Edward Richardson,the commander o the USS Walrus, and his executive officer, Jim Bledsoe.Bound together by wartime duty, the two are divided by jealousy, pride, andlove or a beautiul woman. But long afer the details o this amous novel aderom memory, what remains with us is a startling realization o the way it was,really was, in the silent service during World War II.

Unlike many war novels, here is a story that deals with war rom the perspective

o command. With fidelity, Beach creates the anguish, agony, and triumphso command decisions. Commander Richardson embodies all that is fine and human in an excellent naval officer. Tis is a monument, not to themisfits and the mistakes, but to those men who rose to greatness under the sometimes unbearable tensions o combat.

EDWARD L. BEACH (1918–2002) graduated rom the U. S. Naval Academy in 1939 and became a decorated submariner and best-selling author.

Tis signifies the first timethe U.S. Navy contributed to peacetime efforts, setting a precedencontinues today.

Congressional appropriations handicapped this deployment by demobilization, general naval policy and postwar personnel, and operatingunds reductions. Tough reluctant to allocate postwar assets intoseemingly unimportant European and Near Eastern waters, the Navy

was pressured by the State Department and the American RelieAdministration’s leader, Herbert Hoover, to deploy necessary orcesMost o these were withdrawn by 1924 and the European Stationassumed the traditional policy o showing the flag.

WINGS OF VALORHonoring America’s Fighter Aces

By Nick Del Calzo and Peter Collier

A hero’s action is always extraordinary because it is so contrary to the basichuman instincts o sel-preservation and survival. For the fighter ace, it is ofen“kill or be killed”. Te men whose stories are told in Wings o Valor reflect thecourage and determination it takes to get no less than five “kills” in aerialcombat and return rom each mission alive. Tey distinguished themselves asNavy, Marine, U.S. Army Air Corps, and Air Force pilots who had the courageto pursue their enemy with aggression, agility, and precision. o fly in combatis extremely dangerous. All fighter pilots, regardless o their personal victorytallies, are deserving o great respect and credit or what they endure.

It is difficult to pinpoint the exact qualities that separate a good fighter pilotrom a great fighter pilot. However, they consist o an indomitable inner spirit,a fierce determination to survive and succeed, and a measure o opportunity

and luck added to the mix. Wings o Valor immortalizes eighty-two men ortheir bravery during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Teir images andstories, collected on these pages, are as diverse as America itsel. oday, thesemen assert that they are proud Americans who are caretakers o reedom. Teyhave been to the edge and have lived to tell their story.

At one time there were over 1,400 fighter aces. Because o the changing tech-nology o combat and the shifing nature o war itsel, these men o Wingso Valor are considered the last o the traditional aces. Tis book honors thecontent o their character via ormal photographs o these valiant men, thelast o their breed.

Norman Ough is considered by many as the greatest ship modelero the twentieth century. His exquisite drawings and meticulousmodels have come to be regarded as masterpieces o drafsmanship,

workmanship and realism; more than technically accomplished shipmodels, they are truly works o art.

Tis new book is both a tribute to Ough’s lonely genius and a practicaltreatise or model shipwrights. Ough lived most o his adult lie ar

rom the sea in an apartment in London, where his rugal existenceand total absorption in his work led to hospitalization on at least twooccasions. He was an eccentric in the truest sense but he also becameone o the most sought-afer masters o his craf. Earl Mountbatten hadhim model the ships he had served on and film production companiescommissioned models or effects in several films.

Incorporating many o his original articles rom Model Maker Mag- azine, his detailed line drawings o ships now held by the BrunelInstitute, and photographs o his models displayed in museums andat Mountbatten’s home in Hampshire, this book presents an extraor-dinary level o practical inormation as well as an inspiring panoramao perhaps the most perect warship models ever made.

ALISTAIR ROACH has published articles in Te Mariner’s Mirror , Te International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, Marine Modelling International and Model Boats Magazine. He is a ship modeler himseland brings a practical slant to his writing.

Addleton’s writing is at its most vivid in his firsthand account othe April 2013 suicide bombing outside a Zabul school that killedhis translator, a ellow Foreign Service officer, and three Americansoldiers. Te memory o this tragedy lingers over Addleton’s journal

ELEVEN MONTHS TO FREEDOM A German POW’s Unlikely Escape from Siberia in 1915By Dwight R. Messimer

Eleven Months to Freedom recounts the daring World War I escapeo German midshipman Erich Killinger. Falsely accused o bombing a railway station afer crashing his plane at sea, he was sentencedto lie in the Sakhalin coal mines.

Shipped by rail with several other POWs across Russia, Killinger wadetermined to return home. In order to do this, though, he neededto jump rom the train, cross Siberia, and make it to a German-runescape pipeline in China—all while braving bandits, subzero tem-

peratures, threats o starvation, the risk o capture by Japanese andRussian troops, and possible internment by the Chinese. Once hemade it to China, Killinger used money and ake identity papers tosurvive along the eight hundred miles to Shanghai.

Improbably playing the role o a dashing French blade, Killingerlived the high lie on one ship, then later served as a humble deckhand on another. Risking discovery by the British, he made a boldand risky move as his final destination neared.

stice; the struggle to prevent a renewed naval arms race, despite thechallenge rom the United States and Japan, which culminated in the

Washington Naval reaty; and the broader attempts at peacekeepingthrough diplomacy and the ragile vehicle o the League o Nations.On a technical level, the primacy o big-gun battleships was increas-ingly challenged by air power, and the Royal Navy ought an internalbattle with the Royal Air Force to obtain sufficient aviation assetsor the fleet.

CAPT. STEPHEN ROSKILL, RN was a naval officer turned historian who was commissioned to write the official British naval history o the Second World War. He went on to produce many other important works, including a biography o Beatty and a study o Churchill and his admirals.

First published in 1968 and 1976, the two volumes o this work still constitute the only authoritative study o the broad geo-political, economicand strategic actors behind the inter-war development o the Royal Navy and, to a great extent, that o its principal rival, the United StatesNavy. Stephen Roskill conceived Naval Policy Between the Wars as a peacetime equivalent o the official naval histories, filling the gap betweenthe World War I volumes and his own study o the Navy in World War II. As such, it is marked by the extensive use o British and Americansources, rom which Roskill extracted shrewd and balanced conclusions that have stood the test o time.

By Paul Malmassari

Completely revised and expanded since its French publication, Armouredrains: An Illustrated Encyclopedia 1826–2016 is the first English-lan-guage edition o the authoritative work on the subject.

Military orces around the world were quick to see the advantages orailways in warare, whether or the rapid deployment o men or themovement o heavy equipment such as artillery. From this realization,it was a short step to making the train a potent weapon in its ownright—a mobile ort or a battleship on rails. Armed and armored, theybecame the first practical sel-propelled war machines. As demonstratedin the American Civil War, these trains were able to make a significantcontribution to battlefield success.

Tereafer, almost every belligerent nation with a railway system madesome use o armored rolling stock, ranging rom low-intensity colonial policing to the massive employment o armored trains during the RussianCivil War. Although they were somewhat eclipsed as rontline weaponsby the development o the tank and other armored fighting vehicles,armored trains retained a role as late as the civil wars in the ormerrepublic o Yugoslavia.

Tis truly encyclopedic book covers, country by country, the rangeo fighting equipment that rode the rails over nearly two centuries.

While this work outlines the place o armored trains in the evolutiono warare, it concentrates on details o their design through a vast arrayo photographs and the author’s meticulous drawings.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL PAUL MALMASSARI served with distinction in theFrench army, eventually commanding a tank regiment. He has written extensively about the history o tanks and mechanized warare, but Armouredrains is considered his master work.
