Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brought to life by the personal accounts of six Navy pilots and one British POW, this is the history of the U.S. Navy airstrikes on Japanese-held Hong Kong. Commander John Lamade started the war in 1941 a nervous pilot of an antiquated biplane. Just over three years later he was in the cockpit of a cutting-edge Hellcat about to lead a strike force of 80 aircraft through the turbulent skies above the South China Sea. His target: Hong Kong. As a storm of antiaircraft fire darkened the sky, watching from below was POW Ray Jones. For three long years he and his fellow prisoners had endured near starvation conditions in a Japanese internment camp. Did these American aircraft, he wondered, herald freedom? Trawling through historic records, Steven K. Bailey discovered that the story of the U.S. Navy airstrikes on Japanese-held Hong Kong during the final year of World War II had never been told. Operation Gratitude involved nearly 100 U.S. Navy warships and close to a thousand planes. Target Hong Kong brings this massive operation down to a human scale by recounting the air raids through the experiences of seven men whose lives intersected at Hong Kong in January 1945: Commander John D. Lamade, five of his fellow U.S. Navy pilots and the POW Ray Jones. Drawing upon oral histories, diary transcripts, and U.S. Navy documents, this book expertly narrates the intertwined experiences of these servicemen to bring the history to life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In For Crew and Country, John Wukovits tells of the most dramatic naval battle of the Pacific War and the incredible sacrifice of the USS Samuel B. Roberts. On October 25, 1944, the Samuel B. Roberts, along with the other twelve vessels comprising its unit, stood between Japan's largest battleship force ever sent to sea and MacArthur’s transports inside Leyte Gulf. Faced with the surprise appearance of more than twenty Japanese battleships, cruisers, and destroyers, including the Yamato, at 70,000 tons the most potent battlewagon in the world, the 1,200-ton Samuel B. Roberts turned immediately into action with six other ships. Captain Copeland marked the occasion with one of the most poignant addresses ever given to men on the edge of battle: “Men,” he said over the intercom, “we are about to go into a fight against overwhelming odds from which survival cannot be expected.” The ship churned straight at the enemy in a near-suicidal attempt to deflect the more potent foe, allow the small aircraft carriers to escape, and buy time for MacArthur’s forces. Of 563 destroyers constructed during World War II, the Samuel B. Roberts was the only one sunk, going down with guns blazing in a duel reminiscent of the Spartans at Thermopylae or Davy Crockett’s Alamo defenders. The men who survived faced a horrifying three-day nightmare in the sea, where they battled a lack of food and water, scorching sun and numbing nighttime cold, and nature’s most feared adversary—sharks. The battle would go down as history's greatest sea clash, the Battle of Samar—the dramatic climax of the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

Book excerpt: In the early morning darkness of July 18th, 1965, a U.S. Navy warship returning from combat operations off the coast of Vietnam ran aground on a reef in the South China Sea. For the next 38 days, the officers and men of the USS Frank Knox (DDR-742), supported by salvage teams and assisting ships from the Pacific Fleet, worked against the clock to save their wounded ship. They battled a monstrous typhoon and solved an endless string of engineering challenges to achieve what Pacific Stars and Stripes called "the greatest salvage operation ever attempted in the Pacific." It was a maritime disaster that became part of naval mythology. In this gripping first-hand account, retired U.S. Navy Commander Lionel F. Price, the junior officer on watch at the time of the incident, documents the harrowing story of the grounding and salvage of the USS Frank Knox. This historical account describes life aboard a 1960s warship, with exotic ports of call across the Pacific and battle action in the early days of the Vietnam escalation. The book delivers expert analysis of the events that led up to the grounding, supported by extensive research and official documents secured under the Freedom of Information Act. Frankie Maru is both military history and personal memoir, a window into world events of the 1960s and a love letter to life at sea in the U.S. Navy. Frankie Maru offers the definitive study of events that led to the grounding, why it happened, and the leadership lessons that are relevant today. This is the true story of triumph, disaster, and redemption of a famed U.S. Navy ship. Frankie Maru is a must read for any student of military history, naval tradition, and seafaring adventure.
