Surface and Destroy: The Submarine Gun War in the Pacific
ISBN: 9780813129969 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. World War II submariners rarely experienced anything as exhilarating or horrifying as the surface gun attack. Between the ocean floor and the rolling whitecaps above, submarines patrolled a dark abyss in a fusion of silence, shadows, and steel, firing around eleven thousand torpedoes, sinking Japanese men-of-war and more than one thousand merchant ships.

As the submarine shot through the surface of the water, confined sailors... World War II submariners rarely experienced anything as exhilarating or horrifying as the surface gun attack.

Death at a Distance: The Loss of the Legendary USS Harder
ISBN: 9781591148456 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Only seven U.S. submariners earned the Medal of Honor in World War II. Sam Dealey, the USS Harder's commander, was one of them. His honor was awarded posthumously after the entire crew was lost off Bataan during a depth-charge attack in August 1944 by a Japanese convoy. The Harder's fighting spirit is legendary, and its record of sinking a total of eighteen enemy ships (with a tonnage in excess of 55,000) made Dealey one of the top five submarine skippers in the war. During a single patrol his crew sank five enemy destroyers in five short-range torpedo attacks - an unprecedented...

South Sea Maidens: Western Fantasy and Sexual Politics in the South Pacific
ISBN: 9780313316746 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From the first European contact with Tahiti in 1767, the myth of the South Sea maiden has endured through many incarnations. Although the maiden frequently provided an idealized antidote to Western women's self-assertion, the South Pacific also afforded a space where boundaries between the sexes could be relaxed and transgressed. From James Cook and Captain Bligh to James Michener and Margaret Mead, the Island girl has occupied a special place in the erotic imagination of the West. In a sweeping study that embraces history, literature, visual arts, anthropology and film, this study gives...
