The Enola Gay: The B-29 That Dropped the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima from Brassey's Inc Price: $16.95 Customer Review: Plenty of titles have mentioned the Enola Gay and its pivotal role in dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Norman Polmar's The Enola Gay: The B-29 That Dropped the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima goes a step further, telling the story of the plane, the B-29 program, and its combat operations in general.... |

Spy Book: The Encyclopedia of Espionage from Random House Reference Publishing Price: $18.95 Customer Review: This book was written with the cooperation of the establishment. As a result it is somewhat biased. For instance we are not told in the article about Angelton that he was kicked out for being a failure at his job. During the last 10 years of his career, every Soviet defector that he claimed was... |

If you are an experienced reader of battleship books and have many like me, then skip this book. You won't find anything new here. The text and most of the pictures are not new. Contrary... |

Spyplane: The U-2 History Declassified from Motorbooks International Price: $21.95 Customer Review: Caution: large portions of this book are virtually identical to the declassified CIA history "The CIA and the U-2 Program, 1954-74" by Gregory W. Pedlow and Donald Welzenbach, CIA Center for the Study of Intelligence, 1998. See for example pp62-65 in Pedlow's Book and pp62-64 in Polmar. This CIA... |

One Hundred Years of World Military Aircraft from Naval Institute Press Price: $23.06 Customer Review: Polmar and Bell have done a masterful job of covering a century's worth of military aircraft. (Make that "unmanned military aircraft"--the V-1 buzz bomb and the Predator don't make the cut.) There's material here for at least 100 arguments, but the selections are always interesting and the logic is... |

Defenseless: Command Failure at Pearl Harbor from MBI Publishing Price: $19.01 Customer Review: Of all the books on the subject, this one presents the most reasoned case yet as to why Kimmel and Short were rightly accused of derelection of duty. If there wasn't already the Clinton book by the same name, that would have been the appropriate title. It is hard to disagree with the facts presented... |

As I have said on several occasions that I believe we have at least 500-750 additional cases of espionage to discover, at least half of them... |

Submarines of the Russian and Soviet Navies, 1718-1990 from Naval Institute Press Price: $67.50 Customer Review: At the time this book was written it surely would have been the best source of information on Russian submarines. The book covers in depth every class of Russian submarine; included are long narratives, specifications, line drawings and photos you will not find anywhere else. About 2/3 of the book... |

World War II: America at War 1941-1945 from Random House Inc Price: $35.00 Customer Review: The Second World War was the defining event that shaped the 20th century. Every major world power of the day participated, some siding with the Axis powers, most others taking up the Allied cause and a few even switched sides as the fortunes of war first favored one band, then the other. Over 50... |

What I do know comes from numerous conversations with my father in law who served aboard submarines in the 50's, 60's and 70's. It's interesting to see the antithetical reviews of the two... |
