HMS Leviathan
By John Winton. New York: Coward McCann, 1967. 331 pages. $5.95.
REVIEWED BY
Captain George C. Talley, Jr., U.S. Navy
(Captain Talley, a World War II graduate of the Naval Academy, was an air group commander in the aircrajt carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1961-2; Jour years later he commanded the carrier on a deployment to Vietnam. He is now Head, Aviation Plans Branch of the office of the Chief of Naval Operations.)
F1MS Leviathan is a highly entertaining novel which centers about the dedicated efforts of the Executive Officer, Commander Bob Markready, to mold a huge new aircraft carrier and her disinterested crew into an integrated, smooth-running team.
The reader follows Commander Mark- ready’s progress through exciting accounts of evolutions and experiences, which will be familiar to carrier officers of any navy. Bob Markready brushes aside the cautions of the Leviathan's other senior officers not to get personally involved, and completely submerges himself in his task. He is confronted with the attitudes of the “new” Navy, and the crew’s lack of team spirit and command loyalty makes his conquest doubly challenging. He finally achieves a high degree of success, though he personally suffers great humiliation while achieving this end.
The story carries the exciting flavor of the sea which is typical of the well-written, British Navy novel. Author John Winton has used his 14 years of experience as an officer in the Royal Navy to good advantage. His characters and their reactions to various situations, will undoubtedly strike a familiar response with any reader who has ever deployed on a major combatant. Professional carrier aviators will be especially interested by the marked parallels in terms, techniques, and tools of the trade as they read and compare the British carrier operations with our own. The same problems and stresses which affect man and machine are there, expressed only in slightly different terms.
U. S. Navy officers will find a few parts of | the book difficult to accept. It is hard to imagine, for example, a ship’s secretary on a first-name basis with the Captain, Tosser McTigue; or the fact that, in the eyes of the Navy, the Executive Officer, not the Captain! is responsible for the performance and rep' , utation of the ship.
In addition to its technical and professional tone, there is a full measure of human interest in the story. Written with realism, sensitivity! and humor, there is ample suspense and ac' | tion to hold the reader’s interest to the end-

Accepting the foregoing as correct, the fixation *s> h°w much of The New Legions did ’'■Sergeant Duncan really write?
slides into indistinguishable passages which turn out, on closer inspection, to be not autobiographic at all, but apocryphal. Two such sequences, grisly and revolting in their description of asserted U.S. and South Vietnamese “atrocities” (pp. 162-170 and 178182) not only give no sources, but don’t even say that Duncan was there or how he heard of these episodes. Nor are misstatements of fact lacking. On page 257 Duncan, evidently out t° raise civilian hackles, says military people didn’t even pay income tax until the mid- 1950s. Earlier, on page 255, he says that the defense Department—this in the starving hnies before the Korean War—had a strength °f five million in 1950.
Planted at intervals in Duncan’s text are divisive incitements to special-interest or Minority groups ranging from Negroes to animal-lovers, the latter being abraded by ac- ^°unts of brutalities purportedly perpetrated Y the Special Forces on dogs in Army lab- stories.

Consider Duncan’s stated personal history: office clerk, lumberjack, foundry worker, part-time private eye, and tree topper, drafted in 1954 (age 24) after having sat out the Korean War in private employ. Then, despite his characterization of the draft as an “obscenity,” Duncan re-enlists, stays in the Army for 11 years, and makes master sergeant.
In what foundry, lumber camp or squad- bay did Duncan achieve his erudition and hard-hitting professional style of writing? When and where did he learn his high-flown quotations from Woodrow Wilson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Samuel Adams, George Orwell, let alone Karl Mannheim, the recondite Budapest sociologist? Although Duncan now lists himself as “military editor” of the New Left’s Ramparts, and therefore, by inference, a professional writer, the reader must be forgiven a certain skepticism. The New Legions is just not the kind of book, a first book incidentally, that could be expected to spring from the background to which its author admits.
Until we can be sure who really wrote the book, and with what explicit motives, The New Legions should be accepted very warily.

With the publication of the 48th edition, the first one in the English language, of Weyer’s Warships of the World (in German it is Weyer’s Flottentaschenbuch), the U. S.

step after the Institute’s 1965 printing of Fahey’s The Ships and Aircraft of the U. S. Fleet. It is to be hoped that other volumes of this type will be added to the list in future years.
The Weyer handbook started in 1900 as a compendium of data on the German Fleet only, but in 1953, when it resumed publication after a World War II hiatus, it adopted the present name and style. The Naval Institute’s service in providing an English edition will be particularly appreciated by students of naval affairs and ship buffs whose German may never have been adequate to permit a comfortable use of the volumes in that language. Considering the amount of detailed information to be translated, the unnamed translator [Klaus Grube] have done an amazingly accurate job, with only a few scattered misprints of a trivial nature evident to this reviewer.
Readers familiar with such well-known manuals as Jane's Fighting Ships and Fahey’s condensed U. S. handbook will find many differences in the Weyer's approach. The new edition is unique in comparison to any other
English language publication with similar objectives of presenting a large amount of statistical information in a volume of reasonable size. This is neither an American Jane's nor a Fahey’s on a world-wide scale, but if anything it is closer to the latter than the former- The manual relies heavily on standardization of presentation and abbreviated notation to pack so much data into a book only 5X^ inches in size and less than 3/4 inch thick- Into this handy package have been fitted 414 pages of detailed information covering practically every ship, combat or auxiliary, in every navy of the world, from the giant fleet5 of the United States and the U.S.S.R. to such minor maritime powers as Brunei, Gabon, Guatemala, and Mauretania, each with but a single ship listed.
The statistical section presents information in columnar format, mostly spread across tW° facing pages. Ships of any given navy are grouped by 11 categories and 40 sub-groups and are listed, warships first, more or less111 order of their fighting power. The arrange ment makes comparison much easier than the inconsistent pattern unfortunately followed 1,1 Jane's. Those accustomed to U.S.-type not3' tion will find the Weyer code of warsUP classification a bit strange, but easy to catc onto because of its mnemonic quality.
ably the greatest difficulty is encountered 1,1
the category called F-frigates, in which are i'1 eluded guided missile frigates, fast frigate?’ escort frigates, and corvettes. Weyer’s defi1^ tion of a frigate is thus close to the 6- ’ definition of an escort, but not the U.S. c°^ ccption of a frigate. Weyer’s puts the destroy‘d leader under D-destroyers. The probleiu listing the U.S. DL and DLG types is appa**/1 ’ but the editor has neatly avoided it by shin)1 to a modified grouping for the U.S. p°rtl, of the handbook. Here frigates (U.S. sty® and destroyers are combined under the / stroyer” list and the “Frigate” list is the subtitle of “Escorts.” It should also

and neatly avoid the annoyance of having to turn back constantly to an explanation page. Dates of authorization, keel-laying, and completion are given in terms of the year only, Much is quite adequate for assessing the relative merits of different ships but a bit of a disappointment to anyone looking for detailed historical information.
In addition to the tabular data, the compiler of the manual, Gerhard Albrecht, has deluded 269 photos and 1,244 line drawings. The photos are all small and often lacking *U clarity, as might be expected. For this very reason, editor Alexander Bredt points out, ^Veyer’s has traditionally relied on drawings to bring out significant details. Meticulously rendered to scale, the drawings follow the characteristic style introduced by the late Trich Groner in 1934. It is unfortunate, although probably unavoidable, that the statical data and the illustrations are grouped 'u separate sections, thus necessitating a bit of thumbing back and forth to get all the in- Ormation on a particular ship or class. Boats 'those craft less than 164 feet in length) are tustrated in still another section where a arger scale is used for the drawings. There are also adequate sections covering aircraft

Chinese ships should be a matter of doubt.
In glancing through the lists of the smaller navies, one cannot avoid noticing their widespread dependence on U.S., British, and Russian craft of World War II vintage. With few exceptions, more modern ships are to be found only in the small patrol and minecraft categories. If mass obsolescence is a disease threatening the U.S. Fleet, its germs have also been spread widely around the world. The appearance of French Daphne-type submarines in the projected fists of Pakistan, Portugal, South Africa, and Spain provides tangible evidence of President Charles de Gaulle’s persistence, not only in rebuilding his own Fleet in French shipyards, but also in competing aggressively with the Big Three in supplying warcraft to other nations.
The passing of the battleship hardly needs further proof, but in all the pages of this book only the French Jean Bart, fisted as a training hulk, can be found to keep the four U.S. /ozea-class ships company. Perhaps less widely heralded has been the virtual disappearance of the big gun. Aside from the remaining U.S. 8-inch-gun cruisers, one must look closely to find anything bigger than a 6-inch bore anywhere in the world’s fleets. The Russian Viborg (originally the Finnish coast defence ship Vainamoinen) is the only ship in the book with 10-inch guns, and she is probably little more than a hulk today. Outside the U.S. Fleet, 8-inch guns exist only on the antiquated Spanish cruiser Canarias and the Thai coast defense relic Dhonburi, while the three old Soviet cruisers of the Kirov class may still have their 7.1-inchers. And that is all there are.
The continued existence of the Egyptian training ship (former royal yacht) El Horria should be a matter of some amazement. Even the matter-of-fact compilers of the manual were impelled to make special note of the fact that the ship was “completed 100 years ago.” That’s right, she was built in 1865 as the Mahroussa, but still looks spruce and shipshape after many a face-lifting.
The Naval Institute undertook this English edition of Weyer’s because it considered this standard naval annual unsurpassed for completeness, accuracy, and handiness, all at a reasonable price. With this assessment, this reviewer believes, few readers will disagree.

The 9th Air Force in World War II
Kenn C. Rust. Fallbrook, Calif.: Aero Publishers, 1967. 245 pp. Illus. $10.00.
Born in the North African desert in 1942, this tactical Air Force helped sweep the western desert, bombed the Ploesti oil refineries and supplied air cover for the invasion of Italy. Subsequently, it moved to England where it provided hard-won support experience to Operation Overlord and escorted the heavy bombers of the 8th Air Force as they smashed at German industry. While the writing style is journalistic, various tables, appendixes, and the index—along with the many photographs and drawings of aircraft, complete with details as to markings, insignia, and colorings— make this a reference book useful to model builders and illustrators, as well as historians.

The Triumphant Empire: the Empire beyond the Storm, 1770-1776
Lawrence Henry Gipson New York: Knopf, 1967 454 pp. Illus. $10.00.
A fine volume by a distinguished historian closes an honored series, this being the 13th volume of The British Empire before the American Revolution. Inasmuch as the next volume will be the history’s bibliography, this volume, which concludes the main text, is divided into three major sections: Part one illuminates developments in those parts of the Empire which did not revolt; Part 2 summarizes the entire series and analyzes the more significant trends within the Empire between the years 1748-1776; and Part 3 presents a group of historiographical sketches dealing with pertinent writings of a number of British, Canadian, and American historians.
Vinland Voyage
John R. L. Anderson. New York: Funk & Wag- nails, 1967. 278 pp. Illus. $6.95.
In the spirit of Kon-Tiki, the author with 5 others in a 44-foot cutter, retraced the Norsemen’s possible route, via the Faeroes, Iceland, and Greenland, to Martha’s Vineyard. The impetus for this voyage came from the discovery of Yale University’s Vinland map which shows a recognizable outline of North America, drawn 50 years before Columbus sailed, and which has given a new authenticity to the Icelandic Sagas. While the book could have been shorter, and while the evidence as presented does not prove conclusively that Vinland was Martha’s Vineyard, it does make interesting reading.

The use of scientific gobbledygook ruins what could have been a highly readable and otherwise rewarding book that attempts to predict wide patterns of social change. Undoubtedly the acknowledged stature of the authors will over-awe many readers.
