Description:
Carlisle, Pennsylvania: South Mountain Press, Inc., Publishers, 1987. Octavo, red leatherette (hardcover), gilt letters, photo. illus. endpapers, xxi + 310 pp. Fine in a Fine, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: To understand the Battle of Antietam it is necessary to know the background conditions of both armies, the events immediately preceding “America’s bloodiest day,” and the thought processes of the leaders. As Professor Luvaas points out in his introduction, this book helps “to explain how the battle was fought” and “why leaders on both sides acted as they did.” The method here is similar to that used in the Gettysburg volume where the first-hand “after-action” reports coupled with maps and photos tell the story. One striking difference here, however, is geographic. The Maryland Campaign of which Antietam was the final event takes us through the operations of the opposing armies as they meet at the Battle of South Mountain. We follow the action through such…

Description:
Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, (1989). Revised printing. From Foreword to the Reprinted Edition: World War II was the text of fire that forged the modern Coast Guard. From the very beginning, Coast Guardsmen participated in almost every phase of the maritime war. The cutter Northland made the first naval capture in September 1941 when it intercepted a group of German radio operators off Greenland. The service’s first combat death occurred on board the transport Leonard Wood when the ship was attacked by Japanese planes at Singapore the day after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Coast Guardsmen were in every major amphibious assualt of the war. At the Normandy invasion Coast Guardsmen not only landed thousands of men on the beach, they rescued 1,500 who were stranded in the surf. In the Pacific, First Class Signalman Douglas Munro posthumously won a Congressional MEdal of Honor at Guadalcanal when he helped rescue three companies of Marines who were trapped on the beach. At sea, Coast…

Description:
The Bodley Head Ltd., (1989). Octavo, black boards (hardcover), gilt letters, 244 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Out of 820 U-boats that participated in the Battle of the Atlantic, 781 were destroyed in action; out of 40,000 men, more than 30,000 lost their lives. These horrifying statistics on the survival rate of the German wolf packs in World War II are at last given meaning in this true-life thriller by famed U-boat ace Peter “Ali” Cremer. One of just three senior submarine commands to survive, Cremer conveys the realities of the war as few writers can. The high losses experienced by the well-trained Untersee-Waffe are unique in the history of warfare. After the spring of 1943, when the tide of war in the Atlantic was dramatically reversed and these notorious hunters became the hunted, the life expectancy of a German submariner was estimated at no more than fifty days. But, as this book vividly shows, Cremer was clearly an exception. With the reputation of a cat…

Oxford: Osprey Publishing Limited, (2006). Octavo, softbound (stiff, slick, full-color illustrated white wrappers), 48 pp. From lower cover: Naval warfare in the Pacific changed completely with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The strategic emphasis shifted from battleships to much more lethal, far-ranging weapons systems; one of these was the submarine. This book details the design and development, classes, weapns and equipment, tactics, and operational history of the US submarine in World War II. Detailed tables, photographs, and superb color plates depict the force that had an effect far beyond its size -- the submarine accounted for 55% of all Japanese shipping losses, despite suffering the highest percentage loss of any unit of the United States Armed Forces in World War II.

He spoke in a tone of satisfaction, and hitched his trousers skilfully into place by their one suspender. His companion shifted his easel a little, squinting across the harbor at the changing light. There was a mysterious green in the water that he failed to find in his color-box. William Benslow watched him patiently. “Kind o’ trickish business, ain’t it?” he said. The artist admitted that it was. “I reckon I wound n’t ever ‘a’ done for a painter,” said the old man, readjusting his legs. “It’s settin’-work, and that’s good; but you have to keep at it steady-like -- keep a-daubin’ and a-scrapin’, day in and day out. I should n’t like it. Sailin’ ‘s more in my line,” he…

Description:
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1970. Octavo, burgundy cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, uncut, xxv, 148 pp + vi pp. Very Good, with light foxing; in a Good dust jacket with edgewear. From dust jacket: In The Unconscious Beethoven, the great English writer on music and musicians deals first with the discoverable realities -- as opposed to the persistent romantic misconceptions -- of the composer as a human being whose unyielding character troubled and distorted his personal relationships. In the second part of the book, the still-familiar portrait of Beethoven (and, by extension, any other composer) as “inspired” is reexamined. The popular misconception of “musical composition by divine revelation” is approached by way of a mastery comparison between the first movement of the “Eroica” Symphony and the early sketches for it that appear in Beethoven’s sketchbooks. Newman also shows that certain of Beethoven’s “fingerprints” (small musical units) are repeated again and again in his…
