Canada and "Imperial Defense”
By Richard A. Preston. Durham, N. C.: Duke University Press, 1967, 576 pp. $12.50.
REVIEWED BY
Captain Paul B. Ryan, U. S. Navy (Retired)
('Captain Ryan, a graduate oj the U. S. Naval Academy, was Naval Attache at Ottawa from 1956 to 1959, and served m the Western Hemisphere division oj the Office of International Security Affairs, Department of Defense. He wrote “ Unification in Canada: The World Watches,” published in the March 1967 U. S. Naval Institute Proceedings.)
In the last decades of the 19th century, Canada and other British colonial governments were plagued with the problem: How does a self-governing dominion come to terms with the mother country when the dominion has no voice in shaping foreign policy, yet is expected to bear the military consequences of that policy? This theme constantly threads through Canada and “Imperial Defense": A Study of the Origins of the Commonwealth's Defense Organization, 1867-1910.
This scholarly account with an excellent index and bibliography, published on the centennial celebration of Canada’s Confederation, tells of the vast and complicated history of the Commonwealth’s defense “system.” The split personality of Canadian nationalism and the view that changed relationships cause changed attitudes are important elements in the story.
Richard A. Preston, a Canadian, is a faculty member at Duke University. In this well-researched study, he proves that “imperial defense,” in the sense that it may have been a well-defined plan backed up by men, money, and armament, was simply a myth. Sporadic British efforts to persuade her colonies to improve their militia, to contribute troops for imperial operations, and to provide naval forces for local defense, usually failed for three reasons: the British wanted full operational control, the colonial nationalists quite naturally wanted to direct their own defense policy, and the British or colonial taxpayers were unwilling to shoulder the cost.
From this discouraging beginning, Preston shows how after 40 years Empire defense planners reached general agreement to continue on a voluntary basis a standardized system of training, armament, and administration throughout the Empire. It was this system of defense co-operation, reinforced by ties of Anglo-Saxon tradition and a common danger, which proved so effective in two world wars.
In his account of several Commonwealth conferences, Preston illustrates the basic disagreement wherein the colonies argued that they should not be required to provide troops for wars emanating from British foreign policy. It was one thing for British Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain to beat the drums for colonial defense contributions, but something else again to gain concurrence from tough-minded French-Canadian Prime Minister Sir Wilfred Laurier, faced with the need to maintain political power with Quebec voters. The point, as Laurier made clear, was that until Canada could control its own foreign policy, it was not likely to respond to a British appeal to strengthen the imperial defense generally.
Underlying all Canadian-British relationships was the authoritarian spirit of the Empire, personified in the austere figure of Queen Victoria, and reflected in the desire of Whitehall to control colonial arms. Some British officers in the military missions sent to Canada assumed the same majestic stance. Most of them could never understand that Canadian militiamen were not auxiliaries in the British Army, but troops subject to Canadian procedures. Predictably, dissension arose over military policy and programs, and disgruntled generals usually returned to England on “extended leave.”
Yet, in Canada, there were positive steps. The Royal Military College was established in 1871. A Militia Act was passed in 1883 that set the framework for the Canadian Army of the future. British instructors, arms, regulations and uniforms were procured. Individual Canadians fought in the Boer War and helped
to build a military tradition. The Naval Service Act of 1910 proposed a navy controlled by Canada.
This latter development immediately preceded an Imperial Conference in 1911 that revealed the dangerous state of world affairs and the threat posed by Germany. Its effect vvas to spur the dominions into making military preparations they had ignored before. As the danger mounted, defense co-operation heightened. The outbreak of World War I found the colonies contributing troops and ships in overwhelming measure, proving that the ties of Empire could be strong if the common danger were clear. Eventually, Canada sent 700,000 persons to the armed forces, out °f a population of 7.2 million, proving that voluntary contributions produced more generous support than did mandatory assessments. A strong incentive to the Canadian participation was the realization that its Army and Navy served with their British counterparts and not in them.
In the end, the Canadians who had successfully resisted efforts to place them into British units, proved themselves to be elite troops. As Preston notes,
Their achievements and their potentialities in war were the basis of their future political claims. The independent status of the dominions was born not in the halls of Versailles, but on the beaches at Gallipoli and in the mud of France and Flanders.
Equally important, Preston demonstrates

that the Commonwealth military system as developed and perfected in World War I paved the way for similar success in World War II. Its essence was the fullest possible decentralization in peace, yet fostering maximum co-operation in war.
Preston’s assessment of how Canada in its early years resolved its defense policy with Britain will be instructive to U. S. defense officials in understanding Canadian sensitivity to its role as a junior partner in the Permanent Joint Board of Defense (PJBD) and the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD). Today, at joint meetings, articulate, knowledgeable, and assured Pentagon representatives overawe listeners with unassailable facts and figures. When compared to descriptions of 19th century imperial defense meetings, where polished British officials argued persuasively for the best options (as seen by London) open to the colonies, present day meetings have an air of dejd vu. For the same Canadian skepticism occasionally prevails in Washington, D. C., as was evident in
London, England, 60 years ago.
While it may not have been Dr. Preston’s intent, he has capsuled the dilemma faced by smaller nations seeking alliances. The anxiety experienced by Canadians in their defense relations, first with Britain and now the United States, is part of the price paid by the junior partner, whose interests are linked both economically and ideologically to those of a more powerful nation. If a common danger exists, the alliance is firm, but if the danger lessens and their respective aims diverge, then agreement becomes difficult and even impossible. This may be the fundamental lesson in Dr. Preston’s monumental study.
Men, Machines and Modern Times
By Elting E. Morison. Cambridge: The M.I.T. Press, 1966. 235 pp. $5.95.
REVIEWED BY
Lieutenant Commander Robert J. Massey, U. S. Navy (Retired)
{Commander Massey was editor and project leader for the Department of the Navy RDT&E Management Guide {NAVSO P-2457). Since his retirement in 1964, he has been engaged in research and a consultant on the management 0/ RDT&E and institutional progress.)
Elting Morison’s Men, Machines and Modern Times has something of the character of Alice in Wonderland, in that it can be read profitably by different people for entirely different purposes. From one facet, the book is a highly readable collection of case studies of change in the Navy and other organizations. From another facet, it is a major contribution to scholarly literature on organizational change.
Morison is a professor of history at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a naval officer who served in World War II, a naval historian, and author of Admiral Sims and the Modern American Navy.
Morison develops his argument by presenting historical cases, over half from the Navy; then discusses the principles which apply to them. He devotes far more space to the interesting and well written anecdotes than to theoretical editorializing. The opening study, “Gunfire at Sea: A Case Study in Innovation,” was first presented as a lecture at California Institute of Technology in 1950, and is well known among naval officers. “Gunfire at Sea” is a study of the introduction of con-
tinuous aim firing in the Navy. William S. Sims, a 44-year old lieutenant learned of continuous aim firing from Percy Scott, a British officer, who had developed it in HMS Scylla in 1898. Sims adopted Scott’s methods and achieved results which were found to be unbelievable” in the Bureau where Sims’ letters and recommendations were first ignored and then challenged. After his battle with the Washington bureaucracy had degenerated into name calling and mutual questioning of competence and integrity, Sims bundled up his recommendations and evidence, and sent them directly to President Theodore Roosevelt. The improvement in Fleet gunnery resulting from the chain of events triggered by that act is reflected in the following passage from the book:
In 1899 five ships of the North Atlantic Squadron fired five minutes each at a lightship hulk at the conventional range of 1600 yards. After twenty-five minutes of banging away, two hits had been made on the sails of the elderly vessel. Six years later one naval gunner made fifteen hits in one minute on a target 75 by 25 feet at the same range—1600 yards; half of them hit the bull’s eye 50 inches square.
Morison’s central concern in the research a,'d study behind this book was the process of change, and particularly the phenomenon of resistance to change. He makes it clear that he does not believe that resistance to change is a Problem peculiar to the Navy. On the contrary, he contends that “no one has been able to solve the problem of easy and rapid transi- tlon, for those immediately concerned, from the old to the new.”
Morison wrote that he based so much of his study of the process of innovation on the Navy because:
A Navy is not unlike a society that has been placed under laboratory conditions. Its dimensions are severely limited; it is beautifully ordered and articulated; it is relatively isolated from random influences. For these reasons the impact of change can be clearly discerned, the resulting dislocations in the structure easily discovered and marked out.
In his analysis of the gunnery case, Morison holds that both sides in the controversy were victims of what he terms “limited identifications.” The Bureau people identified with the current hardware systems for which they were responsible and the insurgents with “scalps and blood.” He said the way Sims and his allies presented their case “created an atmosphere in which self-respecting men could not capitulate without appearing either weak or wrong or both.”
To avoid such cul-de-sacs, so destructive of the best interests of the Navy, Morison recommends the following measures:
I would suggest that in studying innovation, we look further into this possibility: the possibility that any group . . . might begin by defining for itself its grand objective and see to it that that grand objective is communicated to every member of the group. Thus defined and communicated, it might serve as a unifying agent against the disruptive local allegiances of the inevitable smaller elements that compose any group. It may also serve as a means to increase the acceptability of any change that would assist in the more efficient achievement of the grand object.
The book is simply written and interesting. If purchased merely for the entertainment of its anecdotes of naval history, it is well worth the price. It is also an important and valuable book for the insights it provides to those who are striving to help the Navy ride the waves of change, rather than be swept over by them. It should be purchased by every library in the Navy, and by every naval officer who prizes a collection of professional books.
The Marine Officer’s Guide
By General Gerald C. Thomas, U. S. Marine Corps (Retired), Rear Admiral Arthur A. Ageton, U. S. Navy (Retired) and Colonel Robert D. Heinl, U. S. Marine Corps (Retired). Annapolis: U. S. Naval Institute, 1967. 3rd ed. 625 pages. Illustrated. $7.50.
REVIEWED BY
Colonel Bevan G. Cass, U. S. Marine Corps
(Colonel Cass is Commanding Officer of The Basic School, Marine Corps Schools at Quantico, Virginia.)
In his foreword to the third edition of The Marine Officer's Guide, the Commandant, General Wallace M. Greene, Jr., U. S. Marine Corps, points out that “one function
of this unofficial guidebook is to provide a trafficable bridge between the individual officer and the mass of regulations, directives, instructions, customs, and usages and traditions which form the cement of the Marine Corps structure.” The 24 wide-ranging chapters and seven appendixes testify to the authors’ encyclopedic efforts to leave absolutely nothing to the newly commissioned officer’s imagination, oY, for that matter, to permit much forgetfulness on the part of us older Marines.
As with the first and second editions, the essential purpose of the Guide is to introduce the Marine Corps to potential officers and to provide a stockpile of information for the new and inexperienced lieutenant. In accomplishing these two aims, the volume has also become a generous reference library for everyone, regular or reserve, soldier or civilian. This new edition has been revised to reflect the continuing change in the defense organization at all levels. It also updates the thoroughly complete and competent chapter “Personal Affairs.” The edition is responsive to the fact that the Third Marine Amphibious Force is in Vietnam, but aside from the flyleaf photograph of the Marine lieutenant and his platoon sergeant standing knee deep in a rice paddy and a brief paragraph about the Third MAF in the history chapter, it is unfortunately perfunctory. As an example, the first two editions tell us of the attributes that “shaped the Corps since 1775, from Princeton to Belleau Wood, from Trenton to Chosin
Reservoir,” and the Third Edition merely tacks onto that sentence “and Danang.”
In the first chapter explaining what the Marine Corps really is, the authors do not fall back on statute and the rationale of official definition to establish the legality of the Marine Corps in our country’s organization for national defense, but rather admit to the importance of indefinable image; “the Marines have landed, and the situation is well in hand. . . .” The universality of this image is the foundation of the Corps’ state as a national institution.
The next three or four chapters, revised to make them current with changes in the Defense Establishment during the past several years, are a solid reference to the Marine’s defense organization for national security. This is supported by a particularly thorough and informative chapter on the “Organization of the Marine Corps” itself. For the new officer who finds diagrams of command and administrative channels less than instructional, this chapter will give him better understanding of how the organization of our land combat arms, security and service forces, aviation, and reserve components support the Marine Corps’ role as the national force in readiness. The authors’ talents are evident in the clarity with which the responsibilities of the various levels of command are presented and the functions of the staff within those commands are discussed. Complementing this discussion of the structure of the Corps are chapters on the “Posts and Stations” of
the Corps, “The Marine Corps Reserve,” and a word for the “Women Marines.” Readers under permanent change of station orders, or just off to a TAD school, will find a capsule account of the Corps’ installations quite informative. It explains how to get there, whether or not you will find quarters once you are there, what exists there in dependents’ schools, recreation facilities, and the fact that at every Marine Corps post both the commissary and exchanges are “excellent.” It may be a strange thing to say about something so sanitary as a Guide, but I find throughout the volume the inescapable theme of pride ln our Marine Corps. Even the very carefully selected and pertinent photographs support the thesis of the greatness of the Corps. In the two chapters on history and traditions one can teel the authors’ delight in talking about their antecedents, and their pleasure in being able to pass on to the reader the heritage of history and traditions that are rightly the pride of every American. They make it very personal when responsibility is placed in the hands of the reader with the charge “whenever the Marine Corps is impoverished by the death of tradition, you are generally to blame. Traditions are not preserved by books and museums, but by faithful adherence on the part of all hands—-you especiallyIf you don’t know the basis for such notable quotes as “First to Fight,” “Leathernecks,” “The President’s Own,” “Tell it to the Marines,” or if you Would like to find out the history of the Marine Corps emblem, the officer’s Mameluke ■''Word, or should you have need to know anything at all about colors, flags, standards, and battle honors, the Guide provides all these answers.
The real substance of The Marine Officer's Guide is in the do-it-yourself sections of the volume; the chapters of invaluable information of personal and career matters affecting the individual officer. How many of us know how our individual records are maintained at Marine Corps Headquarters, or what constitutes the “Selection Board Jacket” that contains all our personnel records and accomplishments to be considered by selection boards? Do you know how those same selection boards work, or how precedence and officer distribution is going to affect your career? Understanding all the refinements of the military pay system may be as complex as understanding Federal tax forms. The Guide, however, very thoroughly reviews pay and allowance procedures, transportation, allotments, taxes and tax exemptions, per diem, expenses and “hostile fire pay.”
Particularly fascinating are the sections of hints for the new officers, designed to smooth entry into the “oldest and most honorable profession.” The authors leave no doubt that their “hints” are designed to perpetuate the Corps as they know it, for they make it eminently clear that any transgression of good manners, sound judgment or discretion on the part of an individual officer is a transgression on the officer corps as a whole. New officers and old should listen well to the direct advice on personal appearance, dress, and the manners and courtesies expected of officers.
Some of the helpful hints of the authors have fallen into semi-disuse today, but this surely is not fatal to their desire to perpetuate the customs and traditions as they knew them: “Aye, Aye, Sir” is not truly in common Corps usage today as the acknowledgement of receipt of an order; neither is “bend on a knot” or “reeve a line” a part of our daily jargon. We can only regret the strange look we get when excusing ourselves from the young officer in order to “pump ship”; and we applaud the authors’ stand against the unfortunate practice of referring to Marines as “troopers.”
However wise and sensible the advice may be not to marry, at least until Basic School has been completed, we find that more than 30 per cent of the officers reporting as students to Basic School are married, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We recommend The Marine Officer's Guide as a primer for the Basic School lieutenant’s wife, too.
In the parenthetic introduction to Appendix VII, “Special Trust and Confidence,” the editors state that the article on the respect an officer holds today had received “unparalleled reader reaction.” The fourth edition would do well to eliminate such a negative discussion of the distinguished privilege of being an officer in the Marine Corps in a Guide so replete with sound positive advice.

This is an analytical bibliographic survey comprised °f some 900 unclassified items taken from documents, hooks and periodicals about the problems facing Africa. There are 16 appendixes, consisting of maps, tables, and a wall-size “African Fact Sheet” that S'ves the essential basic facts about individual countries as of March 1967.
American Badges and Insignia
Evans E. Kerrigan. New York: Viking, 1967. 286 PP- Illus. $6.95.
Over 1,100 illustrations by the author,” and the use °t plain rather than heraldic language, “make this volume not only a valuable reference work for collectors and veterans, but fascinating reading for all those interested in the diverse facets of military history.” Unfortunately, none of the designs are in color.
The Armed Forces of Canada 1867-1967
D- J. Goodspeed (ed.). Ottawa: Queen’s Printer, *967. 289 pp. Illus. $6.00.
^ lavishly illustrated volume which describes the ori- Slns and development of Canada’s three armed Services. The appendixes and index are an excellent gateway for anyone, especially non-Canadians, wish- lng to enter into the field of Canadian military history. Certainly a timely book for their centennial, but neds little light on the current drive for organic unity °f the armed forces.
behind the Lines—Hanoi
garrison E. Salisbury. New York: Harper & Row 1967. 243 pp. Illus. $4.95.
^egardless of your own feelings about the author’s arUi-Administration observations, this book is required reading for anyone trying to wade through the intricacies of the Vietnamese War.
British Sea Power: Naval Policy in the Twentieth Century *
B. B. Schofield. London: B. T. Batsford, Ltd., 1967. 271 pp. Illus. $9.00.
For a nation which depends upon the sea for survival, England has, in the 20th century, treated her vaunted Royal Navy badly, and, in the light of recent developments in naval policies there, this is a very timely book. The author, a retired vice admiral of the Royal Navy, has an obvious bias, but this bias is well stated in trying to provide an “historical perspective’ behind the reasoning for current defense thinking in Great Britain, which is not as he would have it.
The Charles W. Morgan: the Last Wooden Whale Ship
Edward A. Stackpole. New York: Appleton, 1967. 192 pp. Illus. $10.00.
The story of the last of the great whalers, this one being the fully restored major attraction at Mystic Seaport, Connecticut. Built in 1841, the Morgan's crews survived storms, shoals, South Sea cannibals, and even World War I submarines before her retirement in 1921 and her “rescue” on the eve of Pearl Harbor. The author was the curator at the Mystic Seaport.

UNITED STATES NAVAL INSTITUTE
Annapolis, Maryland 21402
The Codebreakers
David Kahn. New York: Macmillan, 1967. 1,164 pp. Illus. $14.95.
A truly mammoth piece of research which “seeks to cover the entire history of cryptology.” While the author has sincerely tried to keep his book simple, and to a great extent he succeeds, nevertheless this book will be very slow reading unless one has more than a passing interest in the subject.
Congress and the Citizen-Soldier
William F. Levantrosser. Columbus: Ohio State University Press, 1967. 267 pp. $6.00.
This is an “ . . . examination of the role played by the Congress in the past 20 years in the determination of those policies that have come to govern the operation of the reserve components of the United States armed forces, and demonstrates that the concept of the citizen-soldier has exhibited a remarkable durability to the nuclear age.”
The Correspondent’s War
Charles H. Brown. New York: Charles Scribners Sons, 1967. 478 pp. Illus. $8.95.
A well-documented history of the role played by newspaper correspondents in the Spanish-American War. While it may not be true that newspaper publishers got this country into the war, there is no doubt that the correspondents went to any length to satisfy their readers and “acted as if the war was theirs.”
The C.S.S. Florida: Her Building and Operations
Frank Lawrence Owsley, Jr. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1967. 208 pp. Illus. $6.00.
A former Naval Academy professor of history, through the use of heretofore neglected original sources, has provided a comprehensive narrative of this Confederate commerce raider. In telling the story of the Florida, he brings new emphasis to the effectiveness of commerce raiding as a naval application of guerrilla warfare by a weaker naval power and points out that the significance of this weapon in the Civil War has been overlooked because the Union survived.
The First Marine Division in Vietnam
Edward HymofT. New York: M. W. Lads Publishing Co., 1967. 130 pp. Illus. $10.00.
A most worthwhile pictorial coverage of the First Marines’ campaigns in Vietnam written by a veteran news correspondent. This is one of a series by the same author and provides a highly effective survey of the men, their equipment, and the problems encountered.
France, Germany and the Western Alliance
Karl W. Deutsch; Lewis J. Edinger; Roy C. Ma- cridis; Richard L. Merritt. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1967. 324 pp. $6.95.
A History of Canadian Naval Aviation
J- D. F. Kealy and E. C. Russell. Ottawa: Queen’s Printer, 1967. 164 pp. Illus. $5.00.
This book presents the results of a study of foreign policy problems through the use of sociological techniques. “Elite” groups in France and West Germany Were interviewed in the hopes of finding certain “constant factors” which in time could help predict future developments in the Western Alliance. For a sociology tract, the prose is not too turgid; there are the usual statistical tables; the actual questionnaires form an appendix and there is an index.
Helicopters and Autogiros
Charles Gablehouse. Philadelphia: Lippincott, ■967. 254 pp. Illus. $4.95.
■5 much needed account of a type of aircraft whose use becomes more important each day. The first three chapters trace the helicopter’s history from ancient times to the present; the remaining six describe its uses and deal with technical considerations as well. The straightforward narration is helped by a fine selection of photographs and drawings of the various Craft described.
Historic Ships Afloat
Phyllis Flanders Dorset. New York: Macmillan, 1967. 167 pp. Illus. $4.50.
A guide to 33 ships, from the Mayflower to modem warships, that can be visited by the public. A good, quick reference source as well as a fine vacation planning aid f°r those interested in maritime history.
Few are aware that Canada was one of the first to form a separate naval air arm. This is a record of the evolution of that force over a period of 44 years, '918-1962. Tables show specifications for carriers ^od details of aircraft; a chronology of major events ls also included. No details are given, or hinted at, concerning the service unification currendy in prog- ,f'ss in Canada.
Hydrofoils
Christopher Hook and A. C. Kermode. London: Pitman, 1967. 218 pp. Illus. 32 shillings 6 pence.
pioneer in hydrofoils tells of the struggles common to many inventors, while discussing the present and future aspects of this technology as well as its checkered history.
Illusion of Power: American Policy Toward Viet-Nam 1954-1966
Joseph E. McCarthy. New York: Carlton Press, !967. 267 pp. Illus. $5.00.
J^hile most of the recent best-sellers about Vietnam "ave concerned themselves with the violence of the War itself, the author in this case is attempting to provide some order to the diplomatic chaos behind the American commitment there. This will hardly be in the best-seller class, but it is an over-all, solid piece of research.
Incredible Victory
Walter Lord. New York: Harper & Row, 1967. 337 pp. Illus. $5.95.
A detailed account of the history of the battle of Midway viewed from all possible angles. After the battle of the Coral Sea, which the Japanese considered a victory, they were even more confident of winning at Midway—mail was to be forwarded there and the new name for the islands was to be “Glorious Month of June.” Only Admiral Yamamoto, who devised the Midway operation, had any doubts.
In Defense of Neutral Rights
Edward Baxter Billingsley. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1967. 266 pp. $6.00.
This is a study of the U. S. Navyls difficulties in protecting neutral shipping during the final years of the Wars of Independence in Chile and Peru. Definitely an important contribution to our understanding of South American history, both then and today, as well as the problems of a neutral with important commercial interests.
Insurgent Era
Richard H. Sanger. Washington, D. C.: Potomac Books Inc., 1967. 231 pp. Illus. $6.95.
This deceptively well-written book concerns itself with the social-political-economic causes, the tactics, and the goals of nine 20th century insurgencies. Before going into the details of any specific revolution, the author has provided a concise, yet detailed, chapter on “The Life Cycle of a Revolt.” Many of the incidents described are from the author’s on-the-spot experiences as a career U. S. Foreign Service Officer.
The Intermediaries: Third Parties in International Crises
Oran R. Young. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1967. 427 pp. $10.00.
The author proposes a general theory of third-party intervention “aimed at facilitating the non-violent termination of international crises.” He feels that the “people” should be prepared to face new doctrines of peace-keeping which would come about through increasing the United Nations capabilities, especially “to act in the role of a third party in future superpower crises.”
International Law Studies 1961
Joseph M. Snee (ed.). Washington, D. C.: Government Printing Office, 1966. 696 pp. $3.00.
This particular volume of the Naval War College’s “Blue Book” study series since 1901, entitled “NATO
Agreements on Status: Travaux Preparations,”
represents an annotated compilation of the documents and memoranda concerned with the negotiation and operation of the NATO Status of Forces Agreements.
Jackson’s War
Ray Rigby. Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1967. 254 pp. $4.95.
A novel about the British in the North African campaigns during World War II. If you are a reader of dust-cover flaps, you will have read the best part of this book.
Juggernaut
Malcolm Mackintosh. New York: Macmillan, 1967. 320 pp. Illus. $6.95.
This solidly researched book is more of a history of the Red Army than of the Soviet armed forces, but that is a minor defect when compared to the over-all effort of tracing 48 years (1918-1966) of military history within a nation not known for its ease in releasing information. A wealth of detail, much of it gathered first-hand and from original sources, is amassed in a volume which progresses as smoothly as did the military machine from which the title is taken.
Kendall Whaling Museum Paintings
M. V. and Dorothy Brewington. Sharon, Mass.: Kendall Whaling Museum, 1965. 137 pp. Illus.
A catalog of the paintings and drawings held by the museum. Graphically the book is well done, the reproductions are quite clear and each plate has a very brief annotation. The unfortunate or disappointing aspect is that so few of the reproductions are in color.
Knots & Lines
Paul and Arthur Snyder. Princeton: Van Nostrand, 1967. 91 pp. Illus. $4.50.
The art of nautical knot-tying is clearly explained through the use of “action photographs” keyed to an explanatory text. An added feature is the nautical terms glossary.
The Mantons: Gunmakers
W. Keith Neal and D. H. L. Back. New York: Walker, 1967. 300 pp. Illus. $25.00.

Here is the Naval Institute’s series of books about the war as it appeared to the navies which fought against, or alongside, our own.
UNITED STATES NAVAL INSTITUTE
Annapolis, Md. 21402
During the late 18th and first third of the 19th centuries some of the finest hand guns ever produced came from the gunmakers John and Joseph Manton
°f London. These two master craftsmen and their superb productions are the subjects of this handsome volume, which must be regarded as virtually definitive. More than 160 illustrations, many in color, combined with a most readable text to make this an unusual reference work and collector’s treasure.
The NATO International Staff/
Secretariat, 1952-1957
Robert S. Jordan. London: Oxford University press, 1967. 307 pp. $9.60.
Phis closely documented work studies the creation, development and functioning of the NATO Staff/ Secretariat under its first Secretary-General, Lord Ismay. While doing this, the author considers both the problems and the achievements of NATO while comparing it with other international organizations.
The New Legions
Donald Duncan. New York: Random House, !967. 275 pp. $5.95.
Phe author, a much decorated former master sergeant in the Special Forces, has something to say and says it in an honest, forthright manner. Unfortunately, what might be considered raw truth is left to fend for itself in an atrocious editorial effort by the Publisher. Despite its obvious shortcomings, this book will be read—the biggest sales will be in Saigon. Definitely controversial; definitely recommended.
The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant,
Volume I: 1837-1861
John Y. Simon (ed.). Carbondale, 111.: Southern Illinois University Press, 1967. 458 pp. $5.00.
This compilation, which is the first of a projected 15- volume series, presents a man rather than an historical image. Most of what is known about Grant during the period covered is revealed by letters to his wife as he was trying to build an army career. Whatever else can be said of Grant’s “forty years of failure” prior to the Civil War, no one can read his letters and not agree with Bruce Catton that “Grant was one of the most articulate of American soldiers.” A promising and excellent source for Grant historians.
Philippine Collaboration in World War II
David Joel Steinberg. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1967. 235 pp. $7.50.
A University of Michigan historian narrates and analyzes in full the often misunderstood story of how and why some Philippine citizens collaborated with the conquering Japanese while others opposed them. Covers the post-liberation trials and their influence on the future of the Republic of the Philippines.
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
by Cdr. Marc'Antonio Bragadin
The only complete, authoritative history of the Italian Navy 19391945. It presents an account that never before has been available to English-speaking readers.
List Price $5.75 by Mitsuo Fuchida andMasatakeOkumiya
A complete account of the naval battle that doomed Japan. By former Japanese officers who were in staff capacities with units engaged.
List Price $7.50
THE HUNTERS AND THE HUNTED
by RAdm. Aldo Cocchia
An exciting account of the varied adventures of Italian submarines from fleet actions to human “torpedoes” during World War II.
List Price $3.50
Presidential Seizure in Labor Disputes
John L. Blackman, Jr. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1967. 351 pp. $10.00.
A thorough analytical study of the subject based on published and unpublished sources, some of which are from Defense and other government agencies. The focus is on presidential policy and its effect during government operations. It also includes an examination, and studies the effectiveness, of other coercive measures used by presidents to force uninterrupted production when stoppages were threatened, especially during times of war.
Primer of Navigation
George W. Mixter. Revised by Captain Donald McClench, USNR (Retired). Princeton: Van Nostrand, 1967. Fifth Edition. 551 pp. Illus. $12.50.
“Completely revised,” the basic text now contains U. S. and British “Sight Reduction Tables for Marine Navigation, the new International Rules of the Road and information on the latest navigation equipment, charts, and techniques. The fourth edition (1960) of this standard work was also revised by Captain McClench.
Principles of Naval Architecture
John P. Comstock (ed.). New York: The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, 74 Trinity Place, 1967. 827 pp. Illus. $40.00.
A long-awaited revision of this standard text on ship construction; the original was published in 1939. The preface provides a note to the volume’s significant changes and to those areas which were broadened in scope, as in its discussion on the stability and strength of submarines and a chapter on hull vibrations.
The Sea and the States
Samuel W. Bryant. New York: Crowell, 1967. 613 pp. Illus. $2.95.
Arpapcrback reprint of the 1947 edition which is subtitled “A maritime history of the American people” that begins with the Spanish explorations and ends with World War II. A compendium of ten pages covers the years between 1947-1967. A good supplementary text for a college course.
The Sea in Modern Strategy
L. W. Martin. New York: Praeger, 1967. 190 pp. $5.00.
This volume, which is part of the series “Studies in International Security,” is not about naval strategy and tactics. It is “an analysis of the role sea power plays in modern diplomacy” and discusses the “growing economic importance of the sea and the legal changes that seem likely to occur as a result” of
. international politics. Blockade policy and the use of the sea in general and limited wars are also discussed.
Sea Warfare 1939-1945
John Creswell. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1967. 3rd ed. 343 pp. Illus. $7.95.
This is the third edition, the first being in 1950, which in a single volume deals with the entire war at sea by all principal navies and analyzes their tactics, strategy, single actions, campaigns and weapons developments. This revision takes advantage of new information on wartime operations made available in the last 17 years.
Shipping Practice
Edward F. Stevens. London: Pitman, 1967. 172 pp. Illus. $6.00.
This standard work on the subject of cargo shipping and its legal aspects has been revised to bring it in line with current practices. Copies of legal documents, such as Lloyd’s Average Bond, are included as pullouts in their original size and format.
Slipstream
Eugene E. Wilson. Palm Beach: Literary Investors Guild, 1967. 3rd ed. 366 pp. $5.00. ($1.00 paper.)
The first-hand story of the coming of age of the airplane. It also traces the rise and fall of U. S. air doctrine, written by a man who, both as a naval aviator and civilian industrialist, was intimately connected with it from 1924 to 1949. Reprint of 1950 edition.
Space Frontier
Wernher von Braun. New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1967. 216 pp. Illus. $4.95.
The author “answers questions on many phases of space exploration” but the answers are really a collection of articles written since 1963 for Popular Science magazine. Too bad the writing style is not better than the illustrations, which range in quality from fair to crude.
The Supermarine Walrus
Lieutenant Commander G. W. R. Nicholl, Royal Navy (Retired). London: Foulis, 1967. 212 pp- Illus. 36 shillings.
The “biography” of one of Britain’s most distinguished naval aircraft which played a major role in World War II.
The Swastika and the Eagle
James V. Compton. Boston: Houghton-Mifflin, 1967. 297 pp. Illus. $5.95.
A thoroughly researched volume which explores the shortsighted manner in which the German leadership viewed the United States in the years before World War II. The inconsistencies and irrationalities of a foreign policy manipulated by a dictator who wished
to keep this country out of a European war, but blundered into just the opposite, are examined.
Tojo: The Last Banzai
Courtney Browne. New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1967. 260 pp. Illus. $6.95.
A somewhat superficial, journalistic, yet sympathetic biography of Hideki Tojo.
Trafalgar
Stuart Legg (ed. and comp). New York: John Day, 1967. 133 pp. Illus. $4.50.
A splendid compilation of personal letters, ships’ logs and observations by the officers and men on both sides of this momentous sea battle. The well-assembled Material speaks for itself, requiring a minimum of annotation. Thoroughly engrossing; a good source.
Victorian Military Campaigns
Brian Bond (ed.). New York: Praeger, 1967. 328 Pp. Illus. $7.95. ’
A much needed account of eight minor, in a relative sense, campaigns fought by Britain from 1845 to 1899. Campaigns described are: the Sikh
Wars, Third China War, Abyssinian Expedition, Ashanti Campaign, South African War, Egyptian Campaign, and reconquest of the Sudan. Line maps, excellent photographs, source notes and a comprehensive index all add to the utility of this well-written compilation. Recommended to general readers and military historians alike.
Wordsworth’s Mariner Brother
Frank Prentice Rand. Amherst, Mass.: The Newell Press, 1966. 138 pp. Illus. $4.95.
The biography of John Wordsworth, younger brother of William the poet, as told through “fifty revealing letters.” This is more of a literary study rather than a seaman’s history in that the book tries to evaluate the effect of John’s early death on his brother’s poetry.
Your Boat and the Law
Martin J. Norris. Rochester, New York: The Lawyers Cooperative Publishing Co., 1965. 389 Pp. Illus. $5.95.
A leading commentator on United States maritime law has presented—in simple-as-possible, layman’s terms—boating laws as they apply especially to the recreational mariner. Keep a copy handy.
