critical examination of warship designs. Dr. Friedman's principal sources of information were the design histories of U. S. naval ships found in the National Archives and in the records of the Navy s General Board in the Naval Historical Center. Since these tend to concentrate on the earliest phases of battleship design, the author barely touches on two other important phases: an intermediate step (called the contract design phase by the U. S. Navy) wherein specific technical directives to shipbuilders were developed to assure achievement of desired ship characteristics; and the final stage, the preparation by the shipbuilder of the detailed working plans and supporting data from which the ships were actually built. As a result, the author’s treatment of battleship design and his expressed intent to use mathematical scaling laws lead to concentration on the more apparent aspects—notably, armament and ship protection where, in the case of these big ships, the weights involved are particularly large and readily manipulated. The more subtle aspects of battleship design and development of equal importance to survivability, performance, and excellent service reputation are not given proper recognition.
The book is divided into seven chapters and two appendices. The individual chapters deal with logical major ship design areas such as hull, machinery, and the two just mentioned, as well as with basic ship design concepts. Dr. Friedman’s book is crammed with facts, both major and minor, ship photographs, plans, diagrams, opinions, and misconceptions. He mentions, in one form or another and with widely varying emphasis, most of the important elements of battleship design, particularly the compromises inherent in its successful production. The author’s problem lies in his convoluted style of writing. This produces wordy and far too de

tailed discussions of the design aspects he chooses to emphasize.
The format of the book, typographical errors, confusing usage of English and metric measurements, and other symptoms of inattentive editing make its reading difficult. The book s 140 photographs seem somewhat haphazardly chosen, are too often indistinct, and have captions, applying either to single or multiple pictures, that run in length from 13 to 560 words. Of these captions, 75% are, in effect, mini-essays on minor aspects of the ships portrayed. They frequently are not pertinent to the text of adjacent pages, are at times repetitive or contradictory of other parts of the book, and are prone to error. Three-quarters of the photographs and captions are jammed into three chapters, so completely overwhelming the basic text as to make its perusal most disjointed. Indeed, the best way to maintain the thread of the author’s discourse is to read these chapters twice—once for the text and once for the varied messages of the captions!
It is not to be expected that a book as full of information and assertions could be completely indexed. It should, however, have more than the minimum facilities provided if the book s use by historians and warship buffs is to be realized. The table of contents is restricted to single-line chapter titles although all but one have from 3 to 15 designated subheads. The index is merely a list of ship names and classes. And, finally, a brief and rather general "Notes On Sources” replaces a bibliography.
This lack of ready access to specific details of the author’s information and its sources decreases the overall utility of his book. The number of obvious errors it contains inevitably leads to doubts concerning the complete accuracy of Dr. Friedman’s conclusions and opinions. A reader might want more help in checking their validity.
U. S. Marines in Vietnam: The Landing and Buildup, 1965

Reviewed by Major Merrill L. Bartlett U. S. Marine Corps
Major Bartlett served in Vietnam in 1965 and 1968-69. Currently a history instructor at the Naval Academy, he is a doctoral student at the University of Maryland.
Prepared by the Marine Corps Historical Center (MCHC), this work is the second of nine volumes on the history of Marine Corps activities in Vietnam. The first volume covering the advisory effort, 1954-64, appeared in 1977. Shulimson is a professional historian who, since 1965, has worked on the project of “Marines in Vietnam.” Johnson spent a year writing this volume, consistent with the MCHC’s policy of teaming an officer with operational experience in Vietnam with a civilian historian.
Reading or viewing anything about this tragic conflict is more and more presaged by trepidation. Films on the Vietnam conflict are especially specious as James Webb, the author of the best-selling Fields of Fire (Prentice-Hall, 1978), noted recently. The distorted view emanating from Hollywood is more revealing of sniggering pseudo-intellectual bias than of the war itself. Some nonfiction works, such as Joseph Caputo s A Rumor of War (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1977), provide their share of distortion and accompanying mental indigestion. Even official histories prepared by the armed services are often suspect because they may be less than candid. And all too often, these Government Printing Office-produced volumes are dreary litanies of personal and service aggrandizement.
Marines, 1965, however, passes the tests of frankness, objectivity, and readability. The authors have been remarkably dispassionate in their presentation of the frustrations and confusion of that first year of Marine Corps operations in Vietnam. Successes and failures receive equal attention. One photograph in particular underscores this openness. When the marines stormed ashore at Danang in March 1965 after a night dreaming of Tarawa, they were met not by the
Vietcong but by Vietnamese schoolgirls armed with flower garlands. The picture of Brigadier General Frederick J. Karch, the Marine Corps Commander (wearing, unforgivably, a green ascot), adorned with flowers and a dour expression, made the newspapers back home and was roundly criticized for falling short of the traditional marine image. Anything less than a desire for complete candor would have seen such embarrassing material discarded.
The first 146 pages of Marines, 1965 is a record of Marine Corps operations from the formation of the Ninth Marine Expeditionary Brigade (“expeditionary” was changed to “amphibious” because the former term smacked of the French experience) and the initial landings at Danang, Phu Bai, and Chu Lai until the end of 1965. The first two of the numerous multi-battalion operations, "Starlight”
and “Harvest Moon,” are treated in detail in terms of both results and valuable lessons learned.
At this point, the casual reader could easily lay the text aside and leave with a thorough understanding of Marine Corps activities in Vietnam during 1965. The remaining 65 pages of text are devoted to discussions more specialized in nature, such as Marine Corps air, fire support, reconnaissance, logistical support, the special landing force, and advisory activities.
In general, the text is readable and effectively illustrated. The propensity to clutter the verbiage with ranks and full names, a characteristic of official histories, appears less frequently- Notes with citations appear at the en of the volume; while explanatory notes appear at the bottom of the page- Thus, the reader is spared the lengthy citations while getting at material not directly included in the text. Six ap pendices provide further information-
Along with commendable objectivity and readability of this volume *s painstaking accuracy. Remaining in this volume is the incredible enthu siasm and euphoria of 1965 exuded by those of us who sought to prevent the yoke of international Communism from enslaving the brave Vietnamese people. Exclusion of this high principled optimism would detract from the freshness of the book. (Ir lS to the authors’ credit that it remains- Only after the 1968 Tet Offensive di Americans begin to suspect we 'veI’e tilting at windmills.) .
But at the same time, keeping the*r history focused on what was happe° ing on the battlefield provides t only criticism of this work. Events 1,1 Hanoi, Saigon, and Washington fluenced Marine Corps activities an need to be mentioned. In April 19° ’ for example, the United States calle^ for a negotiated solution to the con flict even as more American cornh ^ troops spilled into Vietnam. Hanoi fe sponded with a list of four points, 0 of which called for the unilate1^ withdrawal of American forces be*0 any international conference would ^ convened. Furthermore, no outside 1 ^ terference would be allowed in sup vising reunification elections. Th°s while the marines were pacify1 patches of Vietnamese landscape in I Corps, the North Vietnamese still considered the revolutionary situation under their control. External events uiust be considered in order to place arine Corps activities in proper context; otherwise, it is like the infantry commander devising an elaborate ma- oeuver and then asking his intelligence officer to prepare an estimate of e enemy situation to support the Scheme.
Marines, 1965 is a well-written and remarkably accurate account of an ^gonizing period of American history.
arine participants and general eatlers alike should find value in its Pages.

courts-martial jurisdiction. Charges were dismissed in some instances, individuals admonished in lieu of trial in others and, where possible, tried, acquitted, or convicted (and, in the single example of the latter, briefly incarcerated).
To many, this should be enough. My Lai, like the Vietnam War, was an aberration. Its perpetuation serves no purpose. The author, who directed the Army’s investigation, believes otherwise, and does an outstanding job in presenting his case.
This is an excellent account of the My Lai incident, its investigation by the Peers Committee, and the subsequent disposition of the charges against the various accused. It breathes life into the myriad documents relating to My Lai. It identifies those who made up the blue ribbon committee assembled to investigate the massacre and its cover-up, and relates the details of the highly commendable job done by that committee within the brief time afforded it. General Peers’ narrative goes beyond the official report and explains how and why the Peers Committee arrived at its findings, conclusions, and recommendations. His book is mainly the subjective filler for the objective results of the Peers Committee.
But The My Lai Inquiry does not stop there. General Peers, a veteran of three wars including Vietnam, traces the post-investigation handling of the cases of those against whom charges were preferred, and is candid in his critique of the disposition of those cases. Similarly, he follows up on steps taken by the Army to rectify shortcomings in training, personnel management, and operational procedures identified during the investigation. Most important, however, a chapter regarding factors contributing to the tragedy of My Lai is related to today’s all-volunteer environment. Recent proposals by opponents of the draft to solve present recruiting shortfalls by lowering current recruiting standards, for example, should be examined in light of the My Lai experience and the diminution of personnel standards which preceded that event.
My Lai was the result of a series of mistakes at all levels of responsibility,
not only during the Vietnam War but in its antecedent peacetime planning. The reader will readily ascertain that while My Lai may have been an aberration, unless we learn from our mistakes, we are bound to repeat them. That is General Peers’ reason for writing, and it is a valuable one.

Strategy and Security in Northeast Asia is a collection of papers delivered
at three symposia. All three editor- contributors are well qualified for the work by virtue of their academic experience and as associates of the Stanford Research Institute’s Strategic Studies Center. The backgrounds of the other 14 contributors include work in government and academia in the United States, Japan, and South Korea. This limited base gives the book its predictable slant in favor of a firmer U. S. policy in Northeast Asia than the one followed since President Nixon’s proclamation at Guam in 1969. From this, one of the main themes of Strategy and Security in Northeast Asia centers around the unwise decision to remove U. S. ground forces from South Korea—a decision now regretted, as shown by President Carter’s recent halt of the drawdown.
The collective thrust of the book’s articles is that Northeast Asia has enjoyed a remarkable political stability since 1953. Many of the authors argue that this stability has been founded on the deterrence inherent in the presence of the U. S. 2nd Division in Korea and that the fine economic performances of Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are dependent upon that stability. Ultimately, they say, this economic progress will so overwhelm the Communists that Japan, Taiwan, and the Republic of Korea will be able to sustain a prosperous, democratic way of life without the U. S. Army if North Korea does not in the meantime transfer the struggle into the political arena through infiltration, subversion, or even military action. For the next few years, then, the U. S. ground forces in Korea can deter such a transfer. According to several of the authors, other dimensions of the problem include the possibility of Japanese rearmament, additional nuclear proliferation, and the destabilization of the Sino-Soviet relationship in the region—all possibly leading to World War III. They argue that all these things can be avoided if we will keep our troops in Korea a while longer.
Strategy and Security presents convincing arguments even though they
have been partially overtaken by events. The articles vary widely in quality, are often redundant, and do not explore the subject in much depth. Strategic articles are abundant, few of the pieces are devoted to economics. One of the best chapters lS Sang-Woo Rhee’s "North Korean Politics: Present and Future.” ProfeS" sor Rhee’s picture is fairly optimistic (from the West’s point of view) an suggests that North Korean economic and political limitations will ultimately make the world safe for South Korea—provided we enjoy another ten years of peace. At the other end o the book’s spectrum is “Japan as Per' ceived by South Korea and Other Asian Nations.” Though it, too, ,s written by a professor, it appears to be a hurried job that relies too heavily °n quotes from other authorities and c°n tributes little that is new.
All in all, convincing as it is, Strat egy and Security in Northeast Asia lS somewhat outdated and is too shall0'*’' to be recommended to the professions officer.
