Cover art of the new book “Cushing, The Navy’s First Seal” by Naval
Historical Center (NHC) historian Dr. Robert J. Schneller Jr. William
Barker Cushing (1842-74) was one of the most daring men in American
Naval history. As a Union Naval officer Cushing excelled at raids
behind enemy lines, fighting all manner of rebel forces from regulars
to guerrillas. These actions, similar to those performed by modern
Navy SEALs (Sea, Air, and Land), earned the twenty-two year old
Cushing, four commendations from the Navy Department and the thanks of
Congress and President Abraham Lincoln by the end of the Civil War.

Cover art for the new book "USS Ranger, The Navy's First Flattop From
Keel To Mast, 1934-1946" by Naval Historical Center historian Robert
J. Cressman. Ranger was the first American aircraft carrier to be
designed and built as such, but it was determined to be too small for
the U.S.'s emerging large carrier doctrine of the early 1940's.
However, it was one of the few American aircraft carriers to operate
in the European Theater of Operations during World War II,
participating in the 1942 Invasion of North Africa and air strikes
against German shipping in the Arctic Ocean and Norway during 1943.

The cover art to the new Naval Historical Center (NHC) booklet, “Sea
Raiders of the American Revolution, The Continental Navy in European
Waters,” by E. Gordon Bowen-Hassel, Dennis M. Conrad, and Mark L.
Hayes. This booklet is about three captains of the Continental Navy:
Lambert Wicks ,Gustavus Conyngham, and John Paul Jones. It highlights
the difficult circumstances that each man faced operating in seas
dominated by the British Navy and emphasizes that the outcome of the
American War for Independence was far from certain. Like Navy leaders
today, these Continental Navy officers faced tough choices and were
forced to live with the consequences, for good or ill.

“The War of 1812, A Documentary History,” edited by Michael Crawford,
has just published the third volume of the Naval Historical Center’s
(NHC) projected four volume set of period documents chronicling the
War of 1812. An ongoing project for the NHC since 1985, these volumes
blend historic documentation from the participants with synthesizing
essays written by the Center’s Early History Branch historians.
Arising from issues concerning neutral rights and the impressments of
American seaman, this war with Great Britain extended from 1812 to
1815. Naval duty at that time ranged the spectrum from an American
frigate attempting a daring escape from a blockaded harbor in a
foreign port, to two fleets battling it out in a lake, and even to a
motley crew of American barges taking on the British Navy in a creek.
This book can be purchased through the Government Printing Office.

"Centennial Edition" - In 1902 when Lt. Ridley McLean first wrote this "sailor's bible," he
described it as a manual for every person in the naval service. One
hundred years later, it continues to serve as a primer for newly
enlisted sailors and as a basic reference for all naval
personnel--from seaman to admiral. New technology is artfully blended
with ancient heritage, facts and figures are augmented by helpful
advice, and the mysterious language of the sea is preserved and
deciphered in a volume that has served the United States Navy for an
entire century. Updated throughout, the book provides the latest Navy
ratings, uniforms, ships, aircraft, and weapons as well as current
Navy policies on hazing, fraternization, education, and physical
fitness, and a completely new chapter explaining the Navy's mission in
terms of its rich heritage. |

services play significant roles, and this comprehensive volume gives a
valuable overview of each force and provides details of their ships,
aircraft, weapons, and people. New to this eighteenth edition are
chapters on the Navy’s littoral combat ships and the unmanned aerial
vehicles being flown by all three services.

The proud and the few come to life in words and images in this new
history of the U. S. Marine Corps. Based on extensive research and
filled with more than two hundred illustrations, the book provides a
comprehensive warts-and-all study and a celebration of the exploits of
a colorfully unique armed service. A retired Marine lieutenant colonel
and a well-known scholar--both accomplished authors and former history
professors at the U.S. Naval Academy--have teamed up to create this
carefully balanced account. The work covers in detail not only the
epic battles of the world wars and harrowing struggles in Vietnam and
Korea, but the formative years of the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. |

Making the Corps visits the front lines of boot camp, Parris Island,
South Carolina. Here, old values are stripped away and new, Marine
Corps values are forged. Acclaimed military journalist Thomas E. Ricks
follows these men from their hometowns, through boot camp, and into
their first year as Marines. As three fierce drill instructors fight a
battle for the hearts and minds of this unforgettable group of young
men, a larger picture emerges, brilliantly painted, of the growing
gulf that divides the military from the rest of America. |
