Book excerpt: This is a story of the sea training and service during World War II of two Cadet Midshipmen of the United States Merchant Marine Corps. Only about six thousand cadets were trained during the war, a situation which left these men largely unknown and unidentifiable when on leave. The uniform was much the same as a navy midshipmans uniform and was marked with a USNR emblem. The cadet was, in fact, a midshipman in the U.S. Navy Reserve. The purpose of the corps was to supply officers for the merchant ships being built at a rapid rate for the war effort. There was a danger of there being more ships than there were crews to sail them. The accelerated curriculum undergone by these men was designed for three months basic training, six months sea duty and six months at the Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York. Upon graduation, a third mate or third engineers license was issued. Near the end of the war the final training at the academy was extended to one year. After the war, this became a full-time four-year program similar to that at Annapolis. This is a story typical of that of any U.S. merchant ship during wartime. It explores the problems caused by untrained crews, disregarded safety rules, boredom, danger, and storms. However, the men of the Yamhill lead something of a renegade life not usually experienced in running in convoy across the Atlantic. The fact that this voyage lasted nearly a year, traveling halfway around the world alone, operating in all the war zones, visiting seventeen foreign ports, and undergoing several thrilling adventures gives this story perhaps a little extra vitality. For example, there is a day-long battle with a Japanese submarine. The spectacle of a slow, plodding merchant tanker out-dueling a Japanese man o war in a one-on-one engagement puts it high in the chronicles of merchant marine battles with the enemy. For present-day sailors who may wonder about life at sea on board a merchant ship during World War II, this book gives a look into the past and an acquaintance with the wartime merchant marine. For those who were there, it will bring back the memories that may be fast fading away.

Book excerpt: Grinolssons World War 3 - The Night, The Angels Cry predicted and warned of a sneak arab attack on New York City and Washington D.C. This prophetic fictional account of future war where ultimately, the United Nations is led by a Chinese coalition, united with the worlds other nations, in a confrontation with the United States through the use of a worldwide quarantine and naval blockade, caused by American human rights violations in the name of fanaticism for law and order. The ending is shocking, as the story shows a warning of just exactly how vulnerable the United States really is. The use of foreign assymetrical warfare and other high tech warfare technolgies the U.S. has refused to incorporate in its military arsenal is shown how these developments can be used against a highly technical militaristic nation with possitive results. The book also contains a new theoretical form of government and the alternatives the United States of America has to ensure Peace or potentially be destroyed as we know its form of government exists today. This book also incorporates new theories of blames against the United States for destruction of the ozone by its 10,000 oceanic nuclear blasts in the South Pacific and an American cover up suggesting other sources of pollution, as the cause, to avoid liability to the world. Many new and simple factual technologies and military armament now exisiting by the worlds armies, which the United States refused to incorporate in its defense, may also leads to its downfall in the greatest bluff the world has every seen! And, this is what the book is about! Barnes and Noble reviews rate this book 5 stars and describe the story as a classic, brilliant and a stroke of genius as written.
