TRAFALGAR: COUNTDOWN TO BATTLE 1803-1805.
London: Penguin 1992. 421 pp 7 3/4" H. B&w illustrations. "In this panoramic account of events from the creation of Napoleon's menacing flotilla to Nelson's majestic funeral Schom tells the complete story for the first time. He describes in compelling detail - and usually in the words of contemporaries - Napoleon's coronation Prime Minister Pitt's robust response to the threat of invasion the breakneck build-up to battle and the crucial role of Admiral Cornwallis the 'unobtrusive hero' who ought to rank with Nelson as a national saviour. Trafalgar was a moment of almost unparalleled glory for Britain; this superb piece of historical detection and vivid story-telling does it full justice at last." Interior - very light browning to pages soft bump at bottom corner of first 125 pages otherwise clean and tight with no other ownership marks. Exterior - very light browning to edges of text block small crease/bump at bottom corner of front cover. Second Printing. Soft Cover. Very Good. Penguin Paperback

THE NAVY AND ITS CHAPLAINS IN THE DAYS OF SAIL.
Toronto: Ryerson Press 1961. 197 pp 8vo 8 5/8" H. "In the days of sail the sailor met his God upon the sea for it was here that he was most aware of Him as Ruler of the elements. Towards this God he showed respect. But religion was a limited force for those whose lives were hardend by discomfort exposure to cold and wet wretched food medical neglect and harsh discipline. Chaplains with insight came to understand the Navy's own moral code and used it to build upon. On some ships they were welcomed. On others they had to overcome indifference and sometimes open hostility. Waldo Smith recaptures here the flavour of this rugged bygone era."

"No espionage missions have been kept more secret than those involving American submarines. Only presidents and a select few have known the truth about the submarines that have for decades silently roamed the depths in a dangerous battle for information and advantage. Even the families of themen on board had no idea what their husbands sons and brothers were doing and anyone who went looking for the truth behind these mysterious missions found only a veil of silence. America's submarine espionage remained one of the last great secrets." -- from the dj. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. PublicAffairs Hardcover

Sweetman Bill.
US NAVAL AIRPOWER: SUPERCARRIER IN ACTION.
Osceola WI: Motorbooks International 1987. 128 pp square 9 1/4" H x 9 1/4" D. Profusely illustrated with color photographs. "The aircraft carrier is many things apart from a ship. It is a floating airbase a symbol of power and a seagoing home to more than 5000 men. In fact the crew complement of a carrier is three times that of the biggest battle-ship of the 1940s. Every member of the crew from the captain to the commander of the air wing to the first-cruise enlisted man is trained in and works in the culture of naval aviation a culture that addresses the demands of survival in the world's two most unforgiving professions: seamanship and aviation. Watching some of the inhabitants of this small city gives some idea of the challenges they routinely face in their day-to-day work. This is an outsider's look inside. Renowned 'Time' photographer Neil Leifer went onboard USS Carl Vinson America's largest nuclear-powered carrier to photograph 'a day in the life of' feature. This is what he saw. Aviation specialist Bill Sweetman saw these superb graphic photographs and captioned them with near classified detail. So that every enthusiast avid or simply passing could draw interest and knowledge from within." Bump to top of spine light edge wear. Dust jacket has light edge wrinkling/creasing - mainly at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds one small edge tear archivally taped. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.

Thomas Donald.
COCHRANE: BRITANNIA'S SEA WOLF.
London: Cassell 2002. 383 pp 7 3/4" H. "The life of Thomas Lord Cochrane was more extraordinary than that of Nelson and more than outshines his fictional counterparts Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey. He made his name battling Napoleon's Navy in a series of outstanding and heroic actions often fighting his ship against seemingly overwhelming odds. His life on land was equally dramatic. As a campaigner against corruption in the Admiralty he won himself many enemies and was later framed in a Stock Exchange fraud. Following his imprisonment he returned to the sea and in a series of dramatic actions again famous for their disregard of the most daunting risks helped liberate Brazil and Chile from colonial rule. In this fascinating biography Donald Thomas tells the astounding story of one of the most daring and successful real-life heroes the naval world has ever seen."

Exterior - minor browning to edges of text block one tiny corner crease soft crease on front cover. Reprint. Soft Cover. Very Good. Cassell Paperback
