Challenge of the Seven Seas
By Senator Claiborne Pell and Harold
Leland Goodwin. New York: William
Morrow and Company, 1966. 306 pp.
Illustrated. $6.95.
REVIEWED BY
Captain Joseph K. Taussig, Jr., U. S.
Navy, (Retired)
(iCaptain Taussig was graduated from the Naval Academy and later was an instructor there in Military Law.
He now heads his own consulting firm, specializing in
oceanography.)
Few books on what might be styled “nontechnical oceanography” will be able to command the interest of the professional man devoted to working on the oceans, as well as the layman simply intrigued by the seas around him.
This text covers a fascinating spectrum, commencing with an extrapolated scenario dated 16 September 1996, in which an orbiting satellite named Seascan plays chess, observes icebergs, and gripes about the control and administrative problems generated by the National Ocean Agency Headquarters (NOAH)—naturally housed in “The Ark” —and ending with a real-time, up-to-date discussion of such matters as the Sea Grant College Program and the Organization for Challenge. The latter are two very lively topics in which Senator Pell is deeply involved in the Congress.
Between the 1996 episode and the 1966 realities, the book contains remarkably well documented chapters dealing with the scientific, engineering, mineral, transport, and military aspects and uses of the seas. This documentation is interesting in that the use of statistics is never dry, and the bibliography given for each chapter is definitely taken from the authoritative texts of the day.
Comparing the effort going into both outer space-inner space and the expected benefits from each, there is a great imbalance, since the oceans contain vast resources "lying in only 600 feet of water off our continental shelves.” The USNS Lynch (AGOR-7) is assigned to the Naval Oceanographic Office for ocean exploration.
The style is light and readable. Stories and
legends are interspersed throughout the text as illustrative examples of fact or fiction. The use of pictures, scattered among the pages, brought joy to my heart.
One cannot avoid the feeling of frustration when reading of the specific aspects of value promised us in the vast wastes of “inner space” and in comparing our oceanographic efforts with those being made in outer space. The mind turns to the billions being spent to explore empty space, attain national prestige by being first on the Moon, and establish defensive (offensive) ability to rain ultimate destruction from the skies. One can appreciate the benefits to mankind, and to tactical warfare from the weather satellites and navigational satellites which are used by men on the earth and sea. When considering comparable expenditures, however, of money and effort in an environment where man has yet to survey even more than a minute part of the 930,000-square-mile sea bottom lying in only 600 feet of water off our continental shelves— an area of proven wealth and much known but unexploitable wealth—one is left with a professional sense of dismay as to our utter stupidity.
For the organizational buff or the frustrated commercial entrepreneur of the oceans, Senator Pell notes repeatedly that federal assistance must be rendered to public and private institutions in developing these vast resources. At the same time, he delineates the 27 federal agencies involved in bits and pieces of this problem, and indicates, by his exposition, a further remarkable segmentation by dismissing the entire U. S. Navy as but one of the 27 agencies. With 43 Congressional committees authorizing or appropriating funds, it is no wonder that the effort that is being made can bear so little fruit. We who are intimately connected with oceanography know only too well the problems encountered because of inadequate budgets spread around inadequately co-ordinated budget centers in government agencies, and being used to duplicate discoveries being made elsewhere. For a tiny example, the Navy, the Coast Guard, the Geological Survey, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Bureau of Mines, the Corps of Engineers, and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries have a direct interest in only the “first things first” phase of the continental shelves—surveying them!
Senator Pell is an experienced mariner and a devoted public servant. Though still a first- term Senator, he has already displayed a remarkable insight into our national oceanographic problem, and his Challenge of the Seven Seas, aside from its discursive interest, bodes well to be the blueprint of a national organization to co-ordinate the present segmented efforts.
United States Merchant Shipping Policies and Politics
By Samuel A. Lawrence, Washington, D. C.: Brookings Institution, 1966. 405 pp. $8.75.
REVIEWED BY
Captain Ira Dye, U. S. Navy
{Captain Dye is a graduate of the University of Washington and holds a master’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh. He has dealt with maritime matters on the staff of the Chief of Naval Operations, the Joint Staff, and in his present assignment as Chief of the Office of Program Planning, U. S. Maritime Administration.)
There has recently been a revival of interest in merchant shipping on the part of the Navy and naval officers. Most of this apparently stems from the shipping problems of the Vietnam War and a personal or official re-examination by naval officers of old concepts and long cherished cliches concerning the utility and responsiveness of privately owned merchant shipping to meet adequately defense sealift needs in the wars of the 1960s and 1970s. For most readers, the interest should and does go beyond this: trade and its concomitant, international shipping, seem destined to be linked much more closely to international political activity than in the past. The directions that American merchant shipping policies should take in this changing and highly sophisticated arena where trade, international politics, and national economic power come together are not clear. Our prop-
129
er course may very well not be the often- recommended one of building a greatly larger merchant fleet within the present policy framework.
This is what Mr. Lawrence’s study is all about, and it is the definitive book in this area. He examines the American shipping industry and the government’s involvement in clear, objective terms. He follows the development of American maritime policies and shows how these policies have all too frequently failed to change to meet developing needs. As he proceeds, he examines most of the myths about the American merchant marine that are so firmly held by the maritime industry and its lobbyists.
Mr. Lawrence has written lucidly, and Proceedings readers will find the book to be absorbing and not difficult, in spite of the specialized nature of the materials. The first section, describing the international shipping industry, placing U. S. merchant shipping and our historical shipping policies into perspective, will be of particular interest. The same is true of the chapter dealing with “The U. S. Fleet’s Changing Role,” which, in the reviewer’s opinion, contains the clearest and most balanced treatment of defense requirements for shipping that is publicly available, and the chapter on “Extension of the Government Role” (in the post-World War II period) . The concluding chapter on “Problems, Proposals and Prospects” is also a must.
Students at the service colleges, who are planning a thesis or paper on merchant shipping, will find that they will want to read the book from cover to cover, then retain it as a reference. It is well set-up for this purpose; chapters can be read out of sequence if desired, and the book is extensively footnoted and indexed. At the end of the book are several appendices of useful statistical information, plus a good bibliography.
Another group of readers who should find the book useful as a continuing reference are persons in the maritime industry who have a need to understand the nature and degree of the government’s involvement in American shipping.
Throughout the book, the reader will find balanced, objective treatment of most of the controversial maritime issues: flags of convenience, maritime labor relations, subsidies here and abroad, etc. One comment by Lawrence on subsidy: “Subsidy programs appear to create a suction which draws government ever deeper into the affairs of the subsidized industry.” There is an excellent brief description of the shipping crisis surrounding the Russian wheat sales of 1963-1964. The material dealing with the impact of the industry power structure and its lobbyists upon American maritime policy is disturbing and is of interest to any citizen and taxpayer. There is much more.
In summary, this book has a great deal to interest any person interested in “America at sea” and will be a well-worn reference to those who have more direct concern with shipping and maritime problems. It is likely to remain a landmark work in this field.

In the inter-war years, the basic issues of military policy, national strategy, and tactics were debated in Great Britain with an intellectual depth and scholarship, as well as an immediate background of war experience, that did not characterize the polemical journalism which made up most of what Americans gave to such matters at the time.

their
chard, by virtue of his long tenure as Chief of the Air Staff, probably did more than any other man to set the mold in which American, British, and many other enthusiasts of air power shaped the doctrines they were to bring to World War II. If his own contribution to the theory of war is still largely buried in the secret files, there were others with access to the public media who argued the strategic issues presented by the airplane with skill and considerable insight. It is fair to group them all as “military intellectuals,” and this review of their combined work and its results cannot fail to reward any thoughtful military or naval officer.
As the author observes, “the Second World War both justified and exposed the military intellectuals in a way that seldom happens to those whose grappling with eternal truths is all imaginary.” Other philosophers are rarely called so nakedly to account for the practical consequences of their teaching. I confess to a certain disappointment in learning from this analysis how cloudy most of their crystal balls turned out to be. Every great practitioner of the art of war has insisted that a thorough grounding in military history is essential to success. Only two of the men here considered—F uller and Hart—were or became military historians of stature; but I think only Hart really derived much insight from his studies. And with him, as with the others, it was less his knowledge of military history than an intuitive reaction to the futile slaughters of World War I that shaped his ideas and his teaching.
All of the men examined here thought and worked under the grim shadow of World War I; all were inspired by the hope of finding better military-political solutions for Britain. The Royal Navy, to be sure, was not much given to theory in the inter-war years; and it is difficult to take Sir Herbert Richmond, here described as the chief “pundit of seapower,” Very seriously. The author cites his insistence °n large numbers of small ships without noting the fallacy of absolute “national needs” 0r the fact that the argument was mainly a Part of the absurd Anglo-American hassle over cruiser tonnages in the mid-1950s.

tection and initiative in the event of another war like the previous one, they were clearly proved right. But who knew, when they were writing, that there would be another war or that it would follow the 1914-1918 pattern? Neither, I think, solved the political problem which always lies behind the strategic problem in war.
Fuller, who clung to the offensive a outrance and who joined Moseley’s Fascists because he thought that the “discipline” necessary to offensive war could not be instilled by democratic methods, had a plainly imperfect sense of the basic political problem.
Although Hart was a sounder thinker, perhaps even he failed to make an adequate synthesis between politics and war. His theory of non-involvement and the “indirect approach” from behind Britain’s shield of sea- power fell into disfavor when World War II showed, too, that isolation was impossible. But when the war itself demonstrated the soundness of his strategic principles—in that kind of war, at least—he rose to first rank among military theorists; and his postwar Strategy, in the author’s view, may well place him beside if not above Clausewitz.
The last half of the book goes to the “air- power philosophers,” who hoped that World War II would not be that kind of war at all. The air power problem was argued more soberly in Britain in the inter-war years than it was in the United States, but perhaps no more realistically. Trenchard, in this view, committed the Royal Air Force to the theory of the bombing deterrent, but failed,—again the political factor in all war planning—to provide it with the weapons that could make the theory effective. When the air deterrent failed to deter, its philosophers could only try to win the war with it. They piled up heaps of corpses and burned up and blasted enormous quantities of wealth in the experiment, only to end finally with the nuclear bombs. And these have raised the question of whether war will ever again serve the human purposes to which the strategists and military historians have devoted themselves.
This is a provocative book from which the thoughtful officer can draw many varying conclusions. To me it suggests that military history, operations analysis, strategic theory, military intellectualism, even at their best, can provide only an uncertain guide for us through the complexities of today. Others may differ.
Soviet Military Policy:
A Historical Analysis
By Raymond L. Garthoff. New York: Praeger, 1966. 276 pp. $6.50.
REVIEWED BY
Captain Paul Schratz, U. S. Navy
(Captain Schratz, a graduate of the Naval Academy, has served on the staff of the Chief of Naval Operations. He was the Joint Chiefs of Staff Representative at the Eighteen-Nation Disarmament Conference. He is now on the faculty of the National War College.)
Time and again Soviet leaders and spokesmen have said that any attack on a socialist state would bring a crushing retaliatory blow. Yet the Vietnam War waxes hotter and hotter, with increasingly heavy attacks on Communist North Vietnam, and still the Soviet Union avoids a direct confrontation with the United States. Fresh in the public mind also is the memory of the Russian backdown to U. S. demands in Cuba in 1962. Now for perhaps the first time such apparent changes in Communist strategy have been analyzed in an up-to-date and comprehensive picture of the relationship of war and peace, revolution and disarmament in Soviet policy.
Soviet Military Policy represents the culmination of most of Dr. Garthoff’s earlier studies of Soviet military doctrine and Soviet strategy in the nuclear age. In a broader frame of reference, military power enters Soviet society, ideology, foreign, and domestic policy in many ways. The relevancy of military power to Communism has changed from the past and will continue to change in the future. Dr. Garthoff has made a broad historical analysis of that change in much of his recent writings, with this as the ultimate study generally in mind. As an expert Kremlinologist, combining also broad policy experience in the Politico-Military Affairs Division, Department of State, he is uniquely qualified for the task. The result is an interesting, highly readable and unusually informative text.
Dr. Garthoff offers a clear and factual recapitulation of the Chinese and Soviet ideological differences and their positions on war
and revolution. The problems presented to the Soviet Union by industrialization have forced her abandonment of the principles of Marxism-Leninism as the Chinese know it; the unsophisticated and largely primitive Chinese have been able to retain the essential doctrinal purity. The Soviets can support revolutionary internal wars which promise political gain, but can no longer foresee revolutionary wars with the advanced countries; the Chinese can afford to be considerably more adventuresome with either.
The failure of Communist appeal and the lack of political leverage in the advanced countries has been reflected in a 60 per cent loss of party membership since 1946. The remaining strength, now largely “satisfied,” has largely lost its past revolutionary zeal. The blurred focus on the role of revolution leaves unclear the Communist view of the final stages toward world victory. “In time they may well come to recognize that the reality of the twentieth century bears little resemblance to the notions of Marx ...”

(4 graduate of Duke and Harvard Universities, Dr. Lundeberg has taught history at the U. S. Naval Academy and presently serves as Curator of Naval History at the Museum of History and Technology of the Smithsonian Institution.)
“Submarine warfare is war against enemy merchant shipping.” “. . . We must sink ships wherever the greatest number of them can be sunk at lowest cost to us. . . Thus spoke Admiral Karl Donitz in 1942 in defining the doctrine of tonnage warfare as conducted by erman U-boats against Allied merchantmen m two World Wars. Acting upon the related, albeit debatable, premise that merchant tonnage sunk constitutes the prime criteria in evaluating a submariner’s record, Bodo erzog and Gunter Schomaekers have provided within this massive, well-researched v°lume a vivid portrait gallery of the “the
Book Reviews 133
world’s twelve most successful submarine commanders.”
Based on this characteristically Teutonic premise, Ritter der Tieje predictably is heavily ballasted with biographies of two generations of German U-boat aces, led inevitably by that scourge of the Mediterranean Kapitan- leutnant Lothar von Arnauld de la Periere, who claimed an unrivaled total of 453,718 gross tons of shipping during 1915-1917. Vital as such records of destruction appeared to the U-boat command in either conflict, the criteria of merchant tonnage sunk may strike many American readers—particularly those with a recollection of the havoc wrought upon the Imperial Japanese Navy by U. S. submarines—as an insufficient basis for balanced evaluation of relative achievement among the world’s notable submariners. Historical perspective may suggest more complex critera.
Perhaps most conspicuously absent from the authors’ “twelve most successful submarine commanders”—understandably . all German on the basis of the merchant tonnage yardstick—is the name of Rudolph Hers- ing, that intrepid warship tonnage king who practically singlehandedly disrupted British naval support of the Gallipoli beachheads in 1915, thereby powerfully contributing to the fateful maritime isolation of Tsarist Russia.
The foregoing caveat notwithstanding, naval historians are indebted to Herzog and Schomaekers for their definitive enumeration of the world’s ranking merchant tonnage aces, in order: von Arnauld, Forstmann, Valen- tiner, Kretschmer, Steinbrinck, Liith, Rose, Siess, Topp, Rucker, Schwieger, and Merten, each of whose careers is delineated with perception. Happily the authors have provided in the second half of this volume equally comprehensive biographies of such outstanding submariners as Weddigen, Hersing, Prien, Har- tenstein and Hessler (German), von Trapp (Austrian), Horton and Wanklyn (British), Gazzana (Italian), and O’Kane (American). One may hope that readers of Ritter der Tiefe will be drawn to the richly-informative volumes of Konteradmiral Arno Spindler’s recently completed official history, Der Handel- skrieg mit U-Booten, for an even more comprehensive insight into German submarine operations against shipping in World War I.

Armed Force as Power
brigadier General Wendell J. Coats, U. S. Army. New York: Exposition Press, 1967. 432 pp. $10.00.
Currently attached to the U. S. European Command Headquarters, General Coats has written this philosophical treatment with the aim of examining “selected critical conceptual mechanisms that have been operative in the inter-relation of military force and Political power.” This is no re-coverage of military history; rather it is a “thought” book centering on the role of battle in history.”
The Art of Counter-Revolutionary War
Lieutenant Colonel John J. McCuen, U. S. Army. Harrisburg, Pa.: Stackpole, 1967. 349 pp. $8.50.
A rather successful attempt to cover the subject of counter-revolutionary war comprehensively in its psychological, political and military aspects. The au- t lor divides the work into the two themes. “Theorv and Practice”; then he offers cogent ideas in his eys to Victory” section. He draws heavily on examp es from the past decade or so—Indochina, Ma- aya, Algeria, and Greece—and reveals what in- ormed observers realize, that this is a new type of War- Contains maps and index but no bibliography.
battle of the Monsoon
1/' “L Marshall. New York: Morrow, 1967. 384 PP- $6.00.
A prominent American military historian’s account of in6 Cf?mpaign in the central Vietnam highlands dur- J5 1 e summer of 1966. As was characteristic of k arshaU’s superb reporting on Korea, this work is ased on his actual participation, this time in the II
Corps Zone’s Operation Crazy Horse and Trail to Toumarong. This is far from an over-all coverage of the Vietnam struggle; rather it is an intensive analysis of a single campaign.
The Broken Seal
Ladislas Farago. New York: Random House, 1967.
439 pp. $6.95.
An experienced and successful author (Patton: The Tenth Fleet) here relates the first full published account of Operation Magic, and the war of wits between American and Japanese code breakers, a struggle which reached its climax with Pearl Harbor. Since the close of World War II, countless references and allegations have been made concerning Magic, the generic name for the entire operation involving all of Japan’s diplomatic systems—which were successfully cracked by the U. S. Navy and Army. Farago characteristically relates a fascinating tale of intrigue and action.
Canada and "Imperial Defense”
Richard A. Preston. Durham, N. C.: Duke University Press, 1967. 576 pp. $12.50.
This impressive volume is a study of the origins of the British Commonwealth’s Defense Organization from 1867 to the end of World War II. The distinguished author has long been recognized as a leading authority on Canadian and British military history and is currently Professor of History at Duke. In this profound work he probes deeply into Canada’s pre-1867 era to obtain a sound footing for his foundation of British defense policy that incorporated definite contributions from Canada and the later dominions as they emerged. Naval matters are extensively covered. A major work in the field of military history.
The Chemical Warfare Service:
Chemicals in Combat
Brooks E. Kleber and Dale Birdsell. Washington, D. C.: Government Printing Office, 1966. 697 pp. Illus. $5.25.
This Technical Services volume in the multi-part U. S. Army in World War II series encompasses the full story of the U. S. Army’s preparations for gas warfare from 1920 through 1945. Also covered is the development of related weapons which were actually used: the flame thrower, mortar smoke shells, and incendiary bombs.
Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin: The War They Waged and the Peace They Sought
Herbert Feis. Princeton, N. J.: Princeton University Press, 1966. 672 pp. $3.45 (paper).
A most welcome paper edition, unabridged, of this highly significant work which first appeared in 1957.
China’s Struggle for Naval Development 1839-1895
John \V. Rawlinson. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1967, 318 pp. $6.50.
This scholarly monograph is an unusual analysis of one of history’s important failures; for with the coming of the Opium War in 1839, the Chinese realized that their future was tied to their sea power capacities, and they falteringly undertook the establishment of a navy. By the end of the century and the coming of the Sino-Japanese War, many foreign observers estimated that China was materially able to meet and defeat Japan at sea. The outcome of that war, and particularly its Battle of the Yalu, demonstrated how fala- cious those assumptions were. Historian Rawlinson heavily bases his detailed work on hitherto untapped Chinese sources, and has produced a significant study both in Naval History and Far Eastern History.
Command at Sea
Rear Admiral Harley F. Cope, U. S. Navy (Retired); revised by Captain Howard Bucknell, III, U. S. Navy. Annapolis, Md.: U. S. Naval Institute, 1966. 574 pp. $6.50 ($5.20 to members).
In this third edition of Admiral Cope’s original work, Captain Bucknell has reoriented the approach toward “the needs of officers assuming their first command— presumably of one of the smaller units of our fleets.” This is “a book about small ships written for the younger officers who will command them.”
The Corps of Engineers:
The War Against Japan
Karl C. Dod. Washington, D. C.: Government Printing Office, 1966. 759 pp. Ulus. $5.50.
This volume in the U. S. Army in World War II series covers Engineer operations in support of the U. S.
Army in the Pacific War, and as such the account extends from the 1939 defense build-up through the surrender of Japan. Geographically, the operations extended from the Panama Canal to India and from Australia to Alaska. Far from being a mere technical account, this book provides highly useful and somewhat unique information showing how the Corps’ role served materially to implement Allied strategy. Every serious student of the Pacific War will need to use the resources of this study, for the Corps’ influence is seen the length and breadth of that war.
Diary of the Discovery Expedition to the Antarctica, 1901-1904
E. Wilson. New York: Humanities Press, 1967. 416 pp. Illus. $22.50.
Edward Wilson was a zoologist and physician aboard the Discovery, explorer Robert Scott’s stalwart ship in the Antarctic, 1901-1094. This book consists of his meticulous diary of that expedition. Of special interest are the 47 reproductions of his own watercolor paintings of the polar region—also many of his pencil drawings. Wilson remained close to Scott during much of the latter’s Antarctic experiences and perished with that great explorer on their return from the South Pole in 1912. This is a handsome book of interest to general readers as well as to experts.

The latest of this series, issued annually since 1960, containing basic documents on disarmament, arms control, and related matters. Also contained is the 1965 Annual Report, summarizing the Agency’s international negotiations and activities for that year. A bibliography of current official publications and a detailed index enhance this reference work’s value.
The Exploration of the Pacific
J. C. Beaglehole. Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 1966. 346 pp. $7.50.
The third edition of this Australian scholar’s outstanding work which first appeared in 1934 and covers the subject from Magellan through Cook. For this edition, the author has thoroughly revised the entire text and added many new extracts from primary sources that have come to light since the previous edition of 1945. This work remains the unquestioned leader in its field.
Fighter Aircraft of the United States
Terry Morgan. New York: Arco, 1966. 96 pp. Ulus. $1,95 (paper).

Department of State. Washington, D. C.: Government Printing Office, 1966. 1,473 pp. $4.75.
This most recent number of the century-old Foreign Relations series presents hundreds of documents of both foreign and U. S. origin, shedding light on a number of the major diplomatic problems of 1944. Particularly important are the documents related to Soviet-American relations; of next importance is the evidence showing how the United States was at that time intensifying its pressure on the neutrals to “join up.”
The Great Dreadnought
Richard Hough. New York: Harper & Row, 1967. 193 pp. iiius. $4 95.
A British writer of naval works (The Fleet that Had to ,e, Dreadnought, etc.) here relates in full the strange story of H.M.S. Agincourt, the “mightiest battleship of the World War I era.” Originally contracted for y the Turks, this giant was later taken over by the oyal Navy. The author provides evidence to sustain ls P°int that this ship’s “armament, size, and cost toppled governments.” Portions of this volume appeared in the New Yorker in August 1966.

Home of the Commandants
Karl Schuon. Washington, D. C.: Leatherneck Association, 1966. 208 pp. Illus. $4.50.
A handsome little book which describes, with excellent illustrations, the 150-year-old Home of the Commandant of the U. S. Marine Corps, located at Marine Barracks in Washington, D. C. Also narrated is the century of occupancy by the Corps’ chiefs and a brief sketch and portrait of each of the Corps’ 23 Commandants.
The House of Krupp
Peter Batty. New York: Stein and Day, 1967. 333 pp. Illus. $7.95.
A British journalist has sketched briefly the struggles, misfortunes, and successes of the great German industrial family whose very name is synonomous with German armaments. The author is often hyper-critical of the Krupps even though he relates a well-told story of this family, whose fate has been closely linked to that of Germany for the past century.
I Was a Yeoman (F)
Mrs. Henry F. Butler. Washington, D. C.: Naval Historical Foundation, 1967. 14 pp. Illus. $1.00.
A brief pamphlet containing autobiographical glimpses of the World War I career of a Yeomanette.
Jane’s Fighting Ships 1966-1967
Raymond V. B. Blackman, Compiler and Editor. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1966. 468 pp. Illus. $45.00.
The latest in the most respected and best known naval annuals. In his excellent Foreword, Editor Blackman asserts that such new prominence has been given to submarines during the past year that “this issue might well be called a submarine edition.” As evidence of his views, the Editor has moved submarines forward in position of presentation so that they now occupy the number two spot, immediately following aircraft carriers and preceeding cruisers, destroyers, and frigates. This volume also contains more new photographs than ever appeared in any other edition. Some 2,100 illustrations are contained therein.
Japan’s Decision for War
Nobutaka Ike, Translator and Editor. Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 1966. 336 pp. $8.50.
Translations, with editorial comment, of major documents revealing the thinking and planning of Japan’s highest leaders as they prepared for war in 1941. Recorded are 57 Liaison Conferences among Cabinet, Army, and Navy officials to decide on foreign policy moves; also five Imperial Conferences where the Emperor ratified key decisions. A significant primary source collection on the diplomatic and military background on Pearl Harbor.
The Jellicoe Papers Vol. I (1893-1916)
Edited by A. Temple Patterson. London; Navy Records Society, 1966. 315 pp. 50 shillings.
The first of two volumes which will constitute a major collection of published source materials relating to the career of the top British commander at Jutland. All but four or five of the more than 200 documents in this volume pertain to World War I and its approach. As is true of this Society’s vast outpourings (more than 100 volumes), the editorial notes are especially enlightening. This volume closes with Jellicoe’s dispatch describing the Battle of Jutland.

Approximately 85,000 cards dealing with naval matters, general history, and geographical subjects are therein reproduced. Also included are references and descriptions of numerous old and rare charts and maps.
Naval Review 1967
Frank Uhlig, Jr., Editor. Annapolis, Md.: U. S. Naval Institute, 1966. 336 pp. SI2.50 (SI0.00 to members).
This fifth issue of an annual which has steadily grown in prestige contains twelve excellent essays of which the following are particularly outstanding: “Deep Submergence and the Navy,” “Strategy and Oil,” “Educating Future Naval Officers,” and “A View of Soviet Naval Strategy.” Also included are several useful appendixes of which Admiral John Hayes’ “Sea Power” July 1965-June 1966 is most worthwhile. The annual feature of including most of Secretary McNamara’s military posture report to Congress is also much appreciated.
The Ocean Adventure
Gardner Soule. New York: Appleton-Century, 1966. 278 pp. Ulus. $5.95.
A well-written and authentic oceanographic account °f the latest undersea discoveries and of their military, commercial, and scientific applications. The author, 311 experienced science writer, describes current sea gadgetry and offers his authoritative views of the equipment of the future that will enable man to broaden appreciably his knowledge of the oceans.

Kip Wagner and L. B. Taylor, Jr. New York: Dutton, 1966. 220 pp. Illus. $7.50.
A fascinating tale of underwater sleuthing which has netted a Florida group some three million dollars in Spanish treasure ship loot.
Retreat from China
Nicholas R. Clifford. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1967. 400 pp. $7.50.
An analytical study of Britain’s Far Eastern policy, 1937—1941. Its central theme is Britain’s response to Japan’s undeclared war against China and to Japan’s proposed Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. A vital chapter in the fateful diplomatic events of the late 1930s and early 1940s.
The St. Pierre and Miquelon Affair of 1941
Douglas G. Anglin. Toronto, Canada: University of Toronto Press, 1966. 219 pp. $6.00.

by Grand Admiral Erich Raeder
The autobiography of the Commander-inChief of the German Navy from 1934 to 1943. The book emphasizes Admiral Rae- der’s activities in both World Wars.
List Price $6.00
The full story of the significance of the Free French Christmas Eve, 1941, seizure of France’s two vestigial fishing islands off the southern coast of Newfoundland. The islands’ potential strategic role as a Nazi outpost plus basic nationalistic tendencies prompted DeGaulle to effect their seizure, an event which severely aroused Secretary of State Hull to the point
where he uttered official statements which served to antagonize relations between DeGaulle and Washington. A scholarly, readable work based on extensive use of primary source materials.
The Sandino Affair
Neill MacAulay. Chicago: Quadrangle, 1967. 319 pp. Illus. $6.95.
Augusto Sandino was the highly elusive and clever guerrilla leader of Nicaragua in the 1927—1933 era, which saw the United States dispatch Marines, Army, and Navy forces to restore peace to that Central American region. This author, an American history professor who served with Castro in the late Batista period, narrates in full detail the efforts to eliminate Sandino, and he sees in this episode of four decades ago a parallel to U. S. counterinsurgency problems of today.
The Search for Life on Other Worlds
Captain David C. Holmes, U. S. Navy. New York: Sterling, 1966. 240 pp. Illus. $3.95.
The author, one of the first members of the government space programs—even predating NASA—answers numerous questions and discusses differing viewpoints on this question which has caused speculation throughout the ages. The reader of the brief study is not expected to bring it to a detailed or highly specialized knowledge of the subject. A keen interest will be justly rewarded.
The Secret Surrender
Allen Dulles. New York: Harper & Row, 1966. 268 pp. Illus. $5.95.
America’s most experienced intelligence expert relates the intriguing details of how Operation Sunrise, the surrender of a million German and Italian troops late in April, 1945, was achieved. Dulles, who served as CIA Head from 1953 to 1962, was the prime director behind this episode which has all the features of the best spy thrillers.
Small Unit Action in Vietnam: Summer 1966
Captain Francis J. West, Jr., U. S. Marine Corps Reserve. Washington, D. C.: Historical Branch, Headquarters, U. S. Marine Corps, 1967. 123 pp. Limited quantity available on request.
A series of nine short, factual narratives of small unit actions, stories which have basic lessons revealed in them. The author, a trained historian, went into the action area armed with a tape recorder, camera, and note pad. These action-packed accounts are based on the fresh, unrehearsed interviews which he adroitly managed to obtain and preserve. The method is almost as interesting as the results.
The Sons of Martha and Other Stories
Richard McKenna. New York: Harper & Row, 1967. 221 pp. $4.95.
The late author of the highly successful novel, The Sand Pebbles, was working on his second novel, The Sons of Martha, when he died in 1964. This small volume contains that portion—about a third—he had finished plus several U. S. Navy stories McKenna had written through the years. The U. S. Navy is featured in all of McKenna’s writings, for he wrote about what he himself knew, based on a 21-year career as an enlisted man. Sand Pebbles admirers will definitely enjoy this final contribution.
The Spanish Seaborne Empire
J. H. Parry. New York: Knopf, 1966. 416 pp. Illus. $6.95.
An admirably conceived and executed broad-brush treatment of the role of oceanic trade in the founding and evolution of Spain’s overseas empire. Particular attention is devoted to the economic and strategic significance of the sea routes to the New World and the Philippines. The author is Harvard’s Professor of Oceanic History.
Yachting World Annual 1967
Edited by D. Phillips-Birt and Anthony Clark. New York: St. Martin’s, 1967. 144 pp. Illus. $15.00.
This 16th edition of a British annual contains 29 articles, many of them illustrated with sketches or excellent photographs, ranging from accounts of major British regattas and racing events to yacht building and canal cruising. A handsome production which may be rather limited interest to the average American yachtsman.
