Book excerpt: It is the first day of December, 1983. Ted 'Trigger' Ross is a very long way from his past as a World War II hero, as forty years later he travels aboard the steamer Sparta, through the Bering Sea. Then, as if from nowhere come Japanese aircraft, Zeros, World War II vintage - and nearly four decades after that war ended, they are heading straight for Sparta. As they undertake their strafing run, destroying the blood-soaked Sparta and killing most of her crew, Trigger Ross is hurled out of calm normality and back into the horrors of war. Because for the crew of the carrier Yonaga, World War II has not yet ended. The crew of the carrier Yonaga are samurai, and that means following orders, even to the death. And the crew of the Yonaga have orders to attack Pearl Harbor. Orders that have never been revoked, and which must therefore be carried out. As Ross, a prisoner on board the Yonaga, finds himself carried back towards his homeland, he draws upon all his inner strength and understanding - of Japanese culture, and of warfare - in a desperate bid to avert disaster. Meanwhile the American authorities, baffled by repeated reports of ships attacked by Zeros, search for answers. Brent Ross, Trigger's son, believes his father lost at sea. Having heard tales of Japanese 'holdouts' many years after World War II, Brent suspects that something similar may be afoot. Brent is right. But how long will it take his superiors to realise that? As the Americans seek answers, and Brent seeks support for his theory, the Yonaga travels on, relentlessly, getting ever closer to Pearl Harbor. The original attack on Pearl Harbor was made by six Japanese carriers: now the seventh is on her way. And the Americans, for whom World War II ended almost forty years previously, are completely unprepared for any attack. Will the Yonaga reach her destination? And if she does - what then? Peter Albano (1922-2006) was a US writer who served in the US Navy 1942-1946; he is known mainly for the nine-book Seventh Carrier sequence of military adventures staring the World War Two Japanese aircraft carrier Yonaga.

Book Synopsis Return of the Seventh Carrier (Seventh Carrier Series Book 2) by : Peter Albano
Download or read book Return of the Seventh Carrier (Seventh Carrier Series Book 2) written by Peter Albano and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unstoppable force... Hidden by a sliding glacier in a secret cove on Siberia's Chukchi Peninsula, the Imperial Japanese Navy's largest carrier Yonaga has been trapped in ice for the past 42 years. Manned by samurai and commanded by Admiral Hiroshi Fujita, the crew survived on fish and seaweed whilst ensuring the ship remained in top fighting form and staving off countless enemy advances. Although many crewmen died during their years in the icy Arctic graveyard, in 1983 the carrier broke loose and steamed south through the Bering Sea. Her crew were determined to carry out their orders to attack Pearl Harbor and they caught the US Navy by surprise, destroying a carrier and a battleship in the process. While a shocked world counted the dead, the normally full proof Chinese system of laser equipped satellites went into malfunction. Without warning, the skies all over the world were filled with deadly beams - every jet and rocket was instantly destroyed. Only reciprocating engines were able to function, leading to a mad global scramble for World War II ships and planes. Out of the ashes a brave new world arises. Libyan madman Kadafi seeks to become the most powerful man in the world, a leader at the heart of a fiendish plan for global domination. As not only the most powerful carrier of its time, but the only ship whose crew has always stalked her decks, Yonaga is the most formidable fighting force in the world. And with Admiral Fujita on the bridge, no force is too great to stop her brave and passionate samurai crew. Return of the Seventh Carrier is the second book in the Seventh Carrier series, following on from The Seventh Carrier. Peter Albano (1922-2006) was a US writer who served in the US Navy 1942-1946.

Book Synopsis Carrier Battles by : Douglas V Smith
Download or read book Carrier Battles written by Douglas V Smith and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-09-02 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A longtime professor at the Naval War College who once directed strategic and long-range planning for the Navy and Marine Corps in Europe considers the transformation of the U.S. Navy from a defensive-minded coastal defense force into an offensive risk-taking navy in the very early stages of World War II. Noting that none of the navy’s most significant World War II leaders were commissioned before the Spanish-American War and none participated in any important offensive operations in World War I, Douglas Smith examines the premise that education, rather than experience in battle, accounts for that transformation. In this book, Smith evaluates his premise by focusing on the five carrier battles of the second world war to determine the extent to which the inter-war education of the major operational commanders translated into their decision processes, and the extent to which their interaction during their educational experiences transformed them from risk-adverse to risk-accepting in their operational concepts. His book will interest students of the Pacific War, naval aviation, education, and leadership.
Book Synopsis Return to Midway by : Robert D. Ballard
Download or read book Return to Midway written by Robert D. Ballard and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 1999 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Robert Ballard's challenge for this work was to discover and photograph the ships sunk in the Battle of Midway, one of the most dramatic engagements of the Pacific War. After the bombing of Pearl Harbour in 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy seemed almost unstoppable, and a final strike in Midway Island was planned by Admiral Yamamoto for June 1942. But the Americans, aware of the plan, were prepared for the attack and in a great victory sank three of the four Japanese carriers, losing only one of their own. The battle was a turning point in the Pacific War and never again would Japan take the offensive. The story of this battle is illustrated using Ballard's underwater photographs of the ships' remains, and Ken Marschall's evocative paintings.

Download or read book Raid of No Return (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales #7) written by Nathan Hale and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In author-illustrator Nathan Hale’s Raid of No Return, go behind the scenes of World War II’s top-secret Doolittle Raid with the New York Times bestselling Hazardous Tales graphic novel series! “These books are, quite simply, brilliant. . . . Thrilling, bloody, action-packed stories from American history.” —New York Times Presented in the author’s instantly recognizable artistic and storytelling style, this colorful, exciting book of history for kids starts with a brief explanation of the events leading up to World War II and then describes the bombing of Pearl Harbor from both the Japanese and American points of view. The American response was a super-secret counterattack organized by stunt pilot Jimmy Doolittle. Just four months after Pearl Harbor, American crews would launch sixteen B-25 bombers from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet to drop bombs on the Japanese capital Tokyo and then fly to safety in China. Everything about the mission was as dangerous as it was secret. B-25s were not designed to take off from an aircraft carrier. Japan had formidable air defenses. There was no way to plan for landing in China or returning safely to America. The Doolittle Raid, as it became known, went down in military history as one of the most creative and harrowing missions of World War II. The pilots and crews became American heroes.

Book Synopsis This is Not the End of the Book by : Jean-Claude Carrière
Download or read book This is Not the End of the Book written by Jean-Claude Carrière and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The book is like the spoon: once invented, it cannot be bettered' Umberto Eco These days it is impossible to get away from discussions of whether the book will survive the digital revolution. Blogs, tweets and newspaper articles on the subject appear daily, many of them repetitive, most of them admitting ignorance of the future. Amidst the twittering, the thoughts of Jean-Claude Carri�re and Umberto Eco come as a breath of fresh air. This thought-provoking book takes the form of a conversation in which Carri�re and Eco discuss everything from how to define the first book to what is happening to knowledge now that infinite amounts of information are available at the click of a mouse. En route there are delightful digressions into personal anecdote. We find out about Eco's first computer and the book Carri�re is most sad to have sold. And while, as Carri�re says, the one certain thing about the future is that it is unpredictable, it is clear from this conversation that, in some form or other, the book will survive. 'A storming book. The next best thing to sitting in Umberto Eco's living room after dinner; a dream collection of lucid and fascinating discussions' Nick Harkaway 'Hurrah for philosopher and novelist Umberto Eco and playwright and screenwriter Jean-Claude Carri�re, who have come together to praise the medium... Fans of Eco and Carri�re will be charmed' Time Out 'An entertainingly free-range dialogue about writing past, present and future' Independent

Book Synopsis Pacific Payback by : Stephen L. Moore
Download or read book Pacific Payback written by Stephen L. Moore and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Deeply researched and well written....By far the most detailed account of USS Enterprise’s dive-bombers and their decisive role at the Battle of Midway.”* Sunday, December 7, 1941, dawned clear and bright over the Pacific.... But for the Dauntless dive-bomber crews of the USS Enterprise returning to their home base on Oahu, it was a morning from hell. Flying directly into the Japanese ambush at Pearl Harbor, they lost a third of their squadron and witnessed the heart of America’s Navy broken and smoldering on the oil-slicked waters below. The next six months, from Pearl Harbor to the Battle of Midway—a dark time during which the Japanese scored victory after victory—this small band of aviators saw almost constant deployment, intense carrier combat, and fearsome casualties. Many were killed by enemy Zero fighters, antiaircraft fire, or deadly crash landings in the Pacific, while others were captured and spent years in POW camps. Yet the Enterprise’s Dauntless crews would be the first to strike an offensive blow against Japanese installations in the Marshall Islands, would be the first to sink a Japanese warship, and would shepherd the Doolittle Raiders’ bombing of Tokyo. Not until Midway, though, would Dauntless crews get the chance to settle the score...and change the course of World War II. Drawing on dozens of new interviews and oral histories, author Stephen L. Moore brings to life inspiring stories of individual sacrifice and bravery—and the sweeping saga of one of America’s greatest triumphs. INCLUDES PHOTOS

Download or read book Leyte written by M. Hamlin Cannon and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Leyte Campaign the War in the Pacific entered a decisive stage. The period of limited offensives, bypassing, and island hopping was virtually over. American troops in greater numbers than ever before assembled in the Pacific Theater, supported by naval and air forces of corresponding size, fought and overcame Japanese forces of greater magnitude than any previously met. Though the spotlight is on the front-line fighting, the reader will find in this volume a faithful description of all arms and services performing their missions. The account is not exclusively an infantry story. It covers as well the support of ground fighting on Leyte by large-scale naval operations and by land-based air power under the most adverse conditions. In addition, careful attention to logistical matters, such as the movement of supplies and the evacuation of the wounded, gives the reader a picture of the less spectacular activities of an army in battle.
Download or read book The Long Flight Home written by Alan Hlad and published by A John Scognamiglio Book. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A USA Today Bestseller Inspired by fascinating, true, yet little-known events during World War II, The Long Flight Home is a testament to the power of courage in our darkest hours—a moving, masterfully written story of love and sacrifice. It is September 1940—a year into the war—and as German bombs fall on Britain, fears grow of an impending invasion. Enemy fighter planes blacken the sky around the Epping Forest home of Susan Shepherd and her grandfather, Bertie. After losing her parents to influenza as a child, Susan found comfort in raising homing pigeons with Bertie. All her birds are extraordinary to Susan—loyal, intelligent, beautiful—but none more so than Duchess. Hatched from an egg that Susan incubated in a bowl under her grandfather’s desk lamp, Duchess shares a special bond with Susan and an unusual curiosity about the human world. Thousands of miles away in Buxton, Maine, young crop-duster pilot Ollie Evans decides to join Britain’s Royal Air Force. His quest brings him to Epping and the National Pigeon Service, where Susan is involved in a new, covert mission to air-drop hundreds of homing pigeons in German-occupied France. Many will not survive. Those that do will bring home crucial information. Soon a friendship between Ollie and Susan deepens, but when his plane is downed behind enemy lines, both know how remote the chances of reunion must be. Yet Duchess will become an unexpected lifeline, relaying messages between Susan and Ollie as war rages on—and proving, at last, that hope is never truly lost. “Hlad adeptly drives home the devastating civilian cost of the war.” —Booklist
