Nothing Friendly In The Vicinity
by Claude C. Conner
Nothing Friendly in the Vicinity is the remarkable autobiography of an enlisted submariner and his harrowing experiences as a crew member of the submarine USS Guardfish (SS-217) during World War II. Conner's memoir highlights Guardfish's exciting early operations and documents deeply the four war patrols in which he personally participated. The Guardfish's history is marred with a horrendous "friendly-fire" tragedy, when the Guardfish's skipper misidentified and sunk USS Extractor (ARS-15) in a torpedo attack.

Mountbatten
by Philip Ziegler
The official life of the soldier and statesman killed by the IRA in 1979 paints a rounded, sympathetic, and yet undeceived portrait of Mountbatten's character. From his christening (attended by Queen Victoria) to his days as Supreme Commander in Southeast Asia during World War II, to India where he oversaw the move to independence to the Suez crisis, we meet a figure who was profoundly human. "Lucid, stylish, perfectly organized and immaculately presented, it has all Mountbatten's best qualities."--John Keegan, Sunday Times.

And I Was There: Pearl Harbor and Midway-Breaking the Secrets
Layton, Edwin T
William Morrow & Co, January, 1987. First Quill Edition. Trade Paperback. Good. Lightly aged pages, faint smudging on edges, no markings in text. Shelf wear, spine creases & a few bends on cover. From Library Journal: According to Admiral Layton, the Japanese succeeded at Pearl Harbor because of audacious planning plus a dramatic breakdown in our intelligence service. This failure was caused by feuding among high-level officers for control of the intelligence and radio intercept divisions. Six months after Pearl Harbor, self-serving petty jealousy at naval headquarters almost caused us to lose the decisive battle of Midway. Layton reveals the full details of this deplorable situation and vigorously defends Admiral H.E. Kimmel, naval commander at Pearl Harbor, who was blamed for the disasters. Layton accuses instead some high-ranking naval officers in Washington who failed to pass along the latest intelligence intercepts. There is much new information here. Primarily for specialists with some knowledge of cryptography and intelligence operations, this is essential for comprehensive World War II collections. Stanley Itkin, Hillside P.L., New Hyde Park, N.Y. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc. Admiral Arleigh Burke, U.S.N. (Ret.) Eddie Layotn's story could be one of the most important to come out of World War II ISBN: 0688069681. ( more information) Offered by Bizarre Books & Music (United States)
