Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 1992 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the great Pacific naval battles in the Coral Sea and off Midway Island. Occuring within a month of each other, these turning Point engagements brought an end to Japan's military expansion and six months of Allied defeat and retreat in the Pacific. Fought mostly over the ocean by airmen flying primarily from aircraft carriers, the battles were marked on both sides by courage and luck, forewarning and foreboding, skill and ineptitude. In this first book-length, partially-annotated bibliography, Smith provides more than 1,300 citations to the... 1992 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the great Pacific naval battles in the Coral Sea and off Midway Island.

Pearl Harbor, 1941: A Bibliography
ISBN: 9780313281211 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 1991 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, an event which plunged a basically self-absorbed United States directly into the world's worst conflagration. For years, the United States, which had become a Pacific power almost simultaneously with Japan at the turn of the century, mistrusted Tokyo's intentions in the Far East. Off the international stage, most Americans either ignored Japan or failed to understand the dynamics of a millenium-old culture in the throes of modernization. The almost orderly manner in which U.S.-Japanese relations fell terminally ill in 1941... 1991 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, an event which plunged a basically self-absorbed United States directly into the... |

The CSS Arkansas: A Confederate Ironclad on Western Waters
ISBN: 9780786447268 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While the Merrimack and Monitor are the most famous of the Civil War ironclads, the Confederacy had another ship in its flotilla that carried high hopes and a metal hull. The makeshift CSS Arkansas, completed by Lt. Isaac Newton Brown and manned by a mixed crew of volunteers, gave the South a surge of confidence when it launched in 1862. For 28 days of summer, the ship engaged in five battles with Union warships, falling victim in the end only to her own primitive engines. The saga of the CSS Arkansas represents the last significant Confederate naval activity in the war's Western theater.

The Fight for the Yazoo, August 1862-July 1864: Swamps, Forts and Fleets on Vicksburg's Northern Flank
ISBN: 9780786462810 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 462 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Following the loss of the CSS Arkansas in early August 1862, Union and Confederate eyes turned to the Yazoo River, which formed the developing northern flank for the South's fortress at Vicksburg, Mississippi. For much of the next year, Federal efforts to capture the citadel focused on possession of that stream. Huge battles and mighty expeditions were launched (Chickasaw Bayou, Yazoo Pass, Steele's Bayou) from that direction, but the city, guarded by stout defenses, swamps, and motivated defenders, could not be turned. Finally, Union troops ran down the Mississippi and came up from the south...

Tinclads in the Civil War: Union Light-Draught Gunboat Operations on Western Waters, 1862-1865
ISBN: 9780786435791 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 431 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Once the Union Army gained control of the upper rivers of the Mississippi Valley during the first half of 1862, slow and heavy ironclads proved ineffective in patrolling the waters. Hastily outfitted steamboats were covered with thin armor and pressed into duty. These "tinclads" fought Confederate forces attacking from the riverbanks, provided convoy for merchant steamers, enforced revenue measures, and offered tow, dispatch, and other fleet support services. This history documents the service records and duties of these little-known vessels of the Union fleet.

Joseph Brown and His Civil War Ironclads: The USS Chillicothe, Indianola and Tuscumbia
ISBN: 9780786495764 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A Scottish immigrant to Illinois, Joseph Brown made his pre-Civil War fortune as a miller and steamboat captain who dabbled in riverboat design and the politics of small towns. When war erupted, he used his connections (including a friendship with Abraham Lincoln) to obtain contracts to build three ironclad gunboats for the U.S. War Department--the Chillicothe, Indianola and Tuscumbia. Often described as failures, these vessels were active in some of the most ferocious river fighting of the 1863 Vicksburg campaign. After the war, "Captain Joe" became a railroad...
