British Destroyers, A History of Development, 1892-1953

By Edgar J. March. London: Seeley Ser­vice & Co., Ltd., 1966. 539 pages. 10 guineas (approximately $30.00).

REVIEWED by

Ensign Linton Wells II, U. S. Navy

(Ensign Wells, a recent graduate of the U. S. Naval Academy, is a partner in a naval research and data firm, and has had articles published on the subject of warships.)

In British Destroyers 1892-1953, Edgar March has created a volume which must rank as one of the finest naval studies of the Past decade. Working with full Admiralty co-operation, he has traced the development °f the destroyer in the Royal Navy from the 27-knot torpedo boat destroyers of 1892-93 through the Daring-class ships of 1944. The result is fully comparable to the standards ^set by Dr. Oscar Parkes in his classic British

Battleships.

March begins with a welcome improve­ment over the latter book by including several chapters on shipbuilding methods and termi­nology. Not only is this interesting reading, hut it increases the reader’s appreciation of the remainder of the text.

Each of the 56 classes of ships is considered in remarkable detail, particularly concerning trials performance and engineering char­acteristics. An interesting preface to each chapter is a discussion of the considerations that resulted in the design specifications of the class discussed therein. These give a unique insight into the naval climate of the times as well as providing an explanation for some of the curious features often found on these ships. The trials themselves are well docu­mented, based mainly on numerous excerpts incorporated from contemporary reports. The value of official co-operation here becomes ap­parent, as much of this information has here­tofore been unavilable, and several popular misconceptions are revealed. Perhaps the most prominent one is that the famous Swift

cruisers as Dr. Parkes pointed out—never reached anything close to the phenomenal speeds commonly attributed to her.

The 100 plans and 175 illustrations are excellent, particularly the former. The author has traced the original blueprints and in­cluded them on double foldout pages. A common key simplifies the interpretation and improves the esthetics of the plates.

Service careers of the ships are rather lightly covered; in most instances only the final dispositions are given. In the case of accidental loss, however, most of the cir­cumstances are described quite fully, particu­larly in such important instances as the Cobra and Viper accidents. A chapter touches on combat employments in each of the two World Wars.

The concluding chapters are especially appropriate. They summarize developments in armament, machinery, layout, and finally the ships’ over-all development throughout the years. It is, indeed, difficult not to marvel at the changes that came about in the 60 years

British Destroyers is o ne book in an historical series that covers that nation’s de­stroyers from 1892 to 1953 and "will serve as a standard for those who will one day write the story of their navy’s ships.” HMS Fury, shown here laying a smoke screen, was one of the Fear­less or "F”-class destroyers that were part of the 1932 building program.

covered by the book and to wonder what strange vessels will appear some day in a sequel to this volume, describing the next half-century of the destroyer’s life.

The ships’ data sections are very com­plete, although the reviewer feels that it would have been more useful to include com­missioning or acceptance dates in addition to, or in lieu of, the launching dates that are ac­tually given.

Perhaps the most fascinating facet of British Destroyers is the wealth of miscellane­ous information it contains. Scattered throughout the book are notes, many of them quoted from documents, on virtually every subject applicable to destroyers. There are the reports of a test on the effects of water depths on trials performance, the efforts of a skipper to save weight, and a recommenda­tion to improve bakery facilities, to name but a few. Although they are not written with the familiarity with which Dr. Parkes de­scribed his beloved battleships, these notes nevertheless add greatly to the interest of the study.

Despite the thoroughness of the treatment, there are two notable omissions. The first is the U. S. four-stackers which, although not British-built, served sufficiently long and well to warrant at least a mention. Secondly, the World War II Emergency Program destroy­ers, that were converted into frigates, are left somewhat at loose ends. Admittedly, complete information on these ships is not readily available for security reasons, but line drawings and more illustrations would have been well within the scope of the work.

In British Destroyers, the Royal Navy has the second volume in a series which, if con­tinued, promises to become the finest possible documentation of a nation’s warships. This book, with British Battleships, will serve as a standard for those who, in the future, will one day write the story of their navy’s ships.

The Uncommon Defense and Congress, 1945-63

By Edward A. Kolodziej. Columbus: Ohio State University Press, 1966. 550 pages. $7.50.

REVIEWED BY

John J. Ford

(Graduated with honors from George Washington Uni­versity, Mr. Ford served in the U. S. Navy, and was Con­gressional editor for the Army Times Publishing Com­pany. He is a professional staff member of the House Com­mittee on Armed Services, and co-author of The Ram­parts We Watch (7964).)

Edward Kolodziej, who is an assistant pro­fessor of government at the University of Virginia, attempts to determine how well Congress has carried out its Constitutional responsibilities to provide for the common defense in an era when the defense needs have been extraordinary. His method is limited almost solely to an analysis of the annual Defense Department appropriation bills and the hearings and reports of the Appropria­tions Committees of the Senate and the House. The study is a publication of the Mershon Center for Education in National

Book Reviews 115

Security, at Ohio State University, which provided Professor Kolodziej with a fellow­ship for the purpose.

The role of Congress in defense policy is worthy of more attention from scholars, particularly in an era when the philosophic battlelines have often been sharply drawn. Kolodziej’s study is the first to try to survey the whole postwar period. It is also novel to find someone who says Congress should take a greater part in national strategic planning. When a Congressman says that, he is usually lambasted in the press as a hidebound ob­structionist. In short, a book on this subject needs to be written. But Kolodziej has written it badly. And worse, he has written it Incorrectly.

He has all the labored mannerisms of the ^rigor mortis school of prose style. It is a style much in favor with authors of doctoral theses and other academicians of the publish- or-perish breed. It features windy and impre- ^C1se sentences, a love of polysyllables, a firm grasp of the superficial thought that bears °n the subject. Its great virtue is that it can make simple thoughts appear weighty and complex, and its author seem very learned. Hs great vice is that it loses the reader’s trust. This is a typical sentence: “The sub­committees are induced to collect only those Pieces and fragments of information that are mimediately relevant to the limited number of power calculations that bear on the achievement of the pinched and attenuated Program goals that they must normally set for themselves.” An endless parade of sen­tences like that cannot help but make one wonder if the author himself knows what he ^ls talking about. And a man who would in­vent words like “incrementalism” would cheat at Mah-Jongg.

Kolodziej has taken a dramatic period, With dramatic conflicts on great issues and Written a dull book.

His main judgment, repeated over and ^0ver, is that decision-making on defense in Congress is hopelessly fragmented and that Congress does not conduct an adequate over­all review of national strategic policy. He ^says that the organization of Congress is such that it creates incentives which “moti­vate members of Congress to emphasize . . . their personal interests and narrow view­points at the expense of executing Congress’ institutional duties.” The system, he says, encourages Congressmen to avoid conflict over “fundamental and long-range strategic issues that are not likely to result in immedi­ate personal and political gain.”

Kolodziej simply does not prove his point. In fact, as he reviews the whole postwar period, the Congress comes out looking very well in providing for defense needs and seeing future requirements. If anything, it was often ahead of the executive branch in anticipating long-range strategic requirements. If the na­tion was not ready for Korea or the space race or other contingencies, this reviewer submits it was the fault of the whole government, and not just the Congress. Kolodziej criticizes the Congress for not having seen through and re­vised President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s New Look, massive retaliation, defense strategy in the 1950s. But no amount of Congressional reorganization would put the Congress in position to overturn immediately the defense policy of a President having a great popular majority, who happened also to be a general who had recently won the biggest war in history.

Kolodziej ought not to have fallen for the old saw that personal political ambition must necessarily run completely counter to doing good. He is not confronted with political orga­nization there; he is confronted with human nature. The moral dilemma faced by a Congressman who wants to rise to a position of higher power, and also wants to run the country well, is no different than the moral position of a professor who wants sincerely to be a good teacher but who also wants to be head of the department, or the cleric who wants to save souls but would like to do it as a bishop.

By limiting himself to the appropriations committees, Kolodziej has failed to credit properly some of the achievements of Con­gress. To give just one example, the nuclear submarine and the Polaris program would not have become realities nearly as early but for the work of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy.

And the simple fact is that Congress engages in prolonged and difficult con­flicts over fundamental, long-range stra­tegic issues, although there is really little if

any political mileage to be gained by such battling. Few if any re-election votes are to be gained by fighting for a nuclear surface fleet, for example, but fight they do. And that battle is not over.

Finally, Kolodziej’s prescription for change is at best impractical. He advocates the estab­lishment in each house, of a national policy committee, chaired by the majority leader of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, respectively. The supercommittee would be composed of all committee chairmen, would clear all bills for floor action, and would, presumably, tie everything into national policy needs. It would have not only its own staff but liaison with other committee staffs, giving the Hill a little bureaucracy all its own. In effect, the professor’s proposal would centralize all authority in these two com­mittees, actually killing off what incentive now exists for all other members of Congress to take an interest in national defense. As to just how the Speaker of the House would carry out his duties and have time to develop expertise in all the subjects to be taken up by

the national policy committee, the author does not say.

Kolodziej conceded that “the likelihood that Congress will adopt some or all of [his] proposals is not great.” For once, he has been caught in an understatement.

Corregidor, The Saga of a Fortress

By James H. Belote and William M.

Belote. New York: Harper & Row, 1967

273 pages. $6.95.

REVIEWED BY

Lieutenant Colonel J. E. Greenwood,

U. S. Marine Corps

('Colonel Greenwood taught at the U. S. Naval Academy

from 1954-1957, served with Marine Corps units in

Vietnam in 1965, and is currently Aide-de-Camp to the

Commanding General, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific.)

Twice during World War II, Corregidor was the objective assigned to an assaulting force. After the fall of Bataan, the island be­came the final U. S. stronghold in the Philip­pines, and the Japanese seized it by amphib­ious assault. Less than three years later, the roles were reversed. Corregidor had become a final stronghold for the Japanese, and U. S. Army troops recaptured it with a co-ordinated airborne and amphibious attack.

These two set piece operations are the grist that went into the Belote book. With the battleground as their unifying theme, they have related the stories of these two cam­paigns in a small volume published on the 25th anniversary of Corregidor’s fall. It is a well written, often stirring book that lives up to the claim of careful and extensive research.

The style is essentially journalistic. Both battles are viewed primarily from the perspec­tive of the U. S. forces, and the reader finds himself oriented with the defenders in 1942 and with the assaulting forces in 1945. Throughout, the authors have sought to cap­ture the mood and pulse of the actions. With a series of vignettes, recollections of the par­ticipants, and brief accounts of individual’s experiences, the authors have built their pic­ture of the battles. The technique is good, and they successfully portray much of the hope­lessness, the bravery, the despair, and the dedication that characterized the operations.

Yet all of this, readable as it is, may not en­tirely satisfy the military reader. The placing

°f these two operations in juxtaposition gen­erates an obligation, or at least an invitation, for the authors to draw comparisons and con­clusions about the two parallel campaigns. They have done little to meet this obligation. The reader is left largely to his own devices ^ar>d often lacks the hard, factual evidence necessary to make the comparisons for him­self. The reader also will find some difficulty m analyzing tactical plans and in evaluating the effectiveness of bombardments, communi­cations and logistics procedures, counter­attack plans, and like subjects, as the au­thors’ purpose was not to treat such matters ^ln detailed, professional terms.

In balance, however, the book is a good one that will hold the reader’s interest and will entertain him.

Command at Sea

IIy Rear Admiral Harley F. Cope, U. S. Navy (Retired). Revised by Captain How­ard Bucknell, III, U. S. Navy, Annapolis, U- S. Naval Institute, 1966. 3rd Ed. 540 Pages. Appendixes and Index. $6.50.

Reviewed by

Tieutenant Commander William J. More- dock, U. S. Navy

(Commander Moredock served in the USS Harlan R. Dickson (DD-708), the staff of Escort Squadron Ten, Special Assistant to Chief of Naval Operations, Executive Officer of the USS Robison (DDG-12), and is presently Commanding Officer of the USS Lowe (DER- 325) off Vietnam.)

Whether they be arm chair captains, fledg- ^llng line ensigns, or commanding officers, few tnen can look at the title of this book without receiving a tingling sensation. Nor will the Repression be lessened after reading the massive amount of information, wit and wis­dom included in its pages.

For some who have read the earlier, second edition of the book, it should be noted that Captain Bucknell has accomplished a signifi­cant revision in this third edition. The book begins with Vice Admiral John S. McCain, Jr.’s “Four Ocean Challenge” foreword, stressing the need for U. S. naval officers who have a command at sea to develop an imagi­native approach to the use of the seas. Cap­tain Bucknell states in the preface ‘ that the comment made on the rules and regulations that govern command at sea are not made on an immodest personal testimonial to unbroken successions of errorless tours in command but are the product of hindsight and experience gained at a price, sometimes painfully. I he reader’s curiosity will be aroused by the mystery surrounding the absence of the story, cited in the preface, of the typhoon ordeal of the USS El Paso (PF-41) in November 1945. No further mention of the incident is found in the book.

The text moves quickly, and quite thor­oughly into the elements of taking command, buttressed by the references and quotes from Navy Regulations and other lesser authorities that make taking command a legal possibility. Sandwiched between discussions, of the legal aspects are the practical and philosophical ele­ments that are useful for all who aspire to command.

Six chapters contain hard information, the awareness of which is the responsibility of every commanding officer. They comprise a legal and practical review of the commanding officer’s position, in placing a ship in com­mission, either re-commissioning or new con­struction; the how-to of joining the Fleet;

practical problems of safety at sea; an over­view of the challenge of serving successfully on active duty with the Fleet, and the challenge of combat operations, with detailed considera­tions ranging from combat attitude to camou­flage painting.

Less glamorous, perhaps, but no less im­portant, are the paragraphs on Administra­tion of the Ship, not in great detail, but broad in scope; and Maintenance of the Ship, which contains many hints that will be espe­cially helpful to the new commanding officer who may not have had a vast experience in shipyard availabilities, dry-docking, or prep­aration for regular overhaul.

The author then takes a legal and person­nel management look at the executive officer, the ship’s officers, and the crew. Reference is made to nearly every Navy program that affects people, from moonlighting and ac­cessibility of the captain, to voting and taxes.

In the area of Navy personnel management, where changes occur at a very rapid rate, the author has managed to tie his comments to basic law and directive in such a way that they should provide a reliable and enduring reference. The reader may not agree with all of the philosophy in these chapters but this does not detract from the usefulness of facts.

Lastly, the chapter on Special Command Attention reviews for the reader many of the real problems the commanding officer faces, problems he must resolve himself. Among other considerations, matters of command dis­cretion, morale, disciplined silence, and com­mand atmosphere, are matters having per­sonal impact on the commanding officer and, therefore, it is only with great effort that he may perceive these matters clearly. Because this chapter is deeply rooted in personal phi­losophy and even personal prejudice, it is prob­ably the most important chapter in the book. It provides the reader with an occasion to re­consider some 15 subjects on which his mind may already be made up, and thereby, it may point to a change which will be both desirable

and acceptable to the reader.

The selection of articles for the appendices is excellent, because they concern matters for which references are difficult to obtain on short notice. Also they contain ideas which most commanding officers will want to review occasionally. Of particular interest is “A Sam­ple Memorandum to Officers on the Captain’s Policies” and “A Sample Statement of the Captain’s Policies for All Hands.” Another selection, impressive as a muzzle blast, concerns “Gunnery Safety Precautions, Their Origin and Necessity.”

Command at Sea has a complete index but the notes are included as a group in the back of the book, and this causes a certain dis­traction in leafing from the front to the back. The title of the book is somewhat misleading, since it would be of little value to other com­mands at sea that are not Navy oriented.

The young officer who looks forward to commanding a Navy ship must be introduced to nearly all the material in this book at one time or another, and for that reason, this one volume becomes “must” reading. The officer in command will always wonder “What am I not doing that I should be doing?” This book will be a valuable basis for resolving this question. To the officer whose sea command is now past, this volume will be a nostalgic reminder of his contribution. To all men who read or refer to it, Command at Sea will repre­sent a goal worthy of man’s best effort.

All officers who read Command at Sea will readily acknowledge a debt of gratitude to Admiral Cope and Captain Bucknell for un­dertaking the ambitious task of codifying the mass of law, fact, opinion, and experience which makes up a command at sea. The im­portance of experience, which leavens the tre­mendous scope of Command at Sea, is stated in Captain Bucknell’s dedication: “This edition of Command at Sea is dedicated to the ‘Old Timers,’ officer and enlisted, living and dead, who stand sponsor to every officer command­ing our ships at sea.”

Major William Stouppe, U. S. Air Force (Retired), Editor. Marceline, Mo.: Walsworth Publishers, ■967. 207 pp. Illus. $5.50.

A pictorial history of this major air command from its origins in 1916 as the First Yale Unit through three wars and on into the present conflict. This book’s dozens of photographs of planes, places, and person­alities make it an excellent graphic record of a half­century of service.

The New Tigers

Herbert Molloy Mason, Jr. New York: David McKay, 1967. 256 pp. Illus. $6.95.

A veteran aviation writer describes in detail the train- ^lr>g and daily life of the young men being prepared as Pilots in the U. S. Air Force today. In doing so, he reveals most effectively that the “black box” has by no means replaced human beings as the operators of the aircraft of today or the immediate future. Excellent photographs accompany Mason’s fine writing.

One of Our H-Bombs Is Missing

flora Lewis. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1967. 270 PP- Illus. $5.95.

Of the several accounts on the January 1966 loss of the H-bomb off Palomares, Spain, this work by one °f the Associated Press’s most respected reporters is the best. Her minute-by-minute chronicle of the accident and its nuclear-age consequences and ramifications is thorough and refreshingly clear.

Orbit of China

Harrison E. Salisbury. New York: Harper & Row, 1967. 204 pp. $4.95.

Late in 1966 this author, long associated with The New Tork Times, traveled some 30,000 miles around the periphery of Communist China and wrote this “chilling but rewarding” and informative report. Despite the controversy his reports from Saigon created during the winter of 1966—67, Salisbury must be regarded as one of the more astute observers of today’s world scene.

Peoples, Seas and Ships

Zvi Herman. London: J. M. Dent, 1966. 222 pp. Illus. 84 shillings.

A fascinating and colorful history of political and maritime events in the Eastern Mediterranean from earliest days until the end of the Phoenician era. The story opens with the Egyptians entering into overseas trade and deals extensively with ships, water routes, goods, sailing techniques, and the over-all role of the sea.

Russia 1917: The February Revolution

George Katkov. New York: Harper & Row, 1967. 489 pp. Illus. $8.50.

A detailed study of a major turning point in Russia’s history, the collapse of the “liberal” revolution and the rapid take-over of political power by the Bol­sheviks.

Sail and Power

Richard Henderson and Lieutenant Bardett S. Dunbar, U. S. Navy. Annapolis, Md: U. S. Naval Institute, 1967. 284 pp. Illus. $7.00.

A practical book with a soft cover written especially for sailors of the Naval Academy’s sailing vessels. Because of its unusual depth in all the facets of han­dling sail and power boats, it is a universal boating manual. Particularly helpful are chapters on: “Ele­mentary Seamanship,” “Theory of Sailing,” “Sail­boats Under Power,” “The Spinnaker,” and “Basic Racing.” Contains International and Inland Rules of the Road, together with yacht racing rules and excel­lent illustrations.

Sea Quest

Charles A. Borden. Philadelphia: Macrae Smith, 1967. 388 pp. $7.95.

A genuinely exciting volume devoted to “global blue- water adventuring in small craft” by one who, from personal experience, knows of what he writes and writes extremely well.

Small Boat Racing

James B. Moore. New Rochelle, N. Y.: Sportshelf, 1967. 190 pp. Illus. $6.75.

A comprehensive, first-step book on sailing with the ultimate goal of being the first at the finish line.

Secretary McNamara’s Congressional State­ment on the Budget

Washington, D. C.: U. S. Government Printing Office, 1967. 209 pp. $2.00.

This is Mr. McNamara’s full statement on the 1969­1972 Defense Budget and the 1968 Defense Budget. The Secretary testified early in 1967 before the House Armed Services Committee.

SOE in France

M. R. D. Foot. London: Her Majesty’s Stationery Office (U. S. distribution by British Information Services), 1966. 550 pp. Illus. 45 shillings.

The official account of the work of the British Special Operations Executive in France from 1940 to 1944. Most thorough and heavily documented.

Soldiering for Peace

Major General Carl von Horn, Swedish Army. New York: David McKay, 1967. 372 pp. $6.95.

A personal narrative of the problems, successes, and failures of the United Nations peace-keeping forces in Israel during the late 1950s and in the Congo and Yemen in the early 1960s. The author was Chief of Staff of the U.N. Truce Supervision Commission in Israel and commanded the U.N. troops in the Congo and Yemen. Critics of this controversial account have expressed regret that the author’s limited scope of vision and understanding hamper the book’s effec­tiveness; still it contains a goodly measure of worth­while material on a timely problem.

Venice and History—The Collected Papers of Frederic C. Lane

Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1966. 560 pp. $10.00.

The eminent Professor Lane of the Johns Hopkins History Faculty has long been recognized as a leading authority on medieval and early modern history of Venice, when that Italian city was at its peak of power. This volume consists of the numerous schol­arly papers which Professor Lane wrote during a career of research and teaching, and they constitute a valuable compilation of authoritative works on mari­time history.

War in the Deterrent Age

Major General D. K. Palit, Indian Army. London: Macdonald, 1966. 224 pp. 35 shillings.

A knowledgeable Indian Army officer re-examines the principles of war and then applies those principles to his own nation’s position and, to a lesser degree, to today’s entire Asiatic continent. Of particular value is the author’s careful analysis of the basic roles of the guerrilla whose most valuable weapon is time; for the true guerrilla is indifferent as to how long it will take to achieve victory.

The World Guide to Combat Planes,

Vol. 1 and 2

William Green. Garden City, New York: Double­day, 1967. 222 pp. (vol. 1) and 212 pp. (vol. 2). Illus. $4.95 per volume.

A leading British aviation writer provides dimensions, particulars, historic notes, and illustrations of all cur­rent combat aircraft and missiles. These pocket-size volumes also have excellent essays on: Airborne Armament, Bomber Development, Reconnaissance Aircraft Development, Combat Helicopter Develop­ment, Fighter Development, and a round-up of na­tional aircraft strength (before the last Middle East war); photographs, and three-view drawings.

1942: The Year That Doomed The Axis

Henry H. Adams. New York: David McKay, 1967. 544 pp. Illus. $8.95.

A stimulating narrative of the major battles and campaigns of 1942, with particular emphasis on those events that changed the tide of war in favor of the United States and its allies. The events range from Pearl Harbor and the broad Pacific theater to the Murmansk run, the siege of Stalingrad, and the surg­ing struggle at each end of North Africa’s Mediter­ranean shoreline. The author is a U. S. Naval Acad­emy Professor.
