Book Description
Readers can relive the true golden age of high-performance classic speedboats in this book that covers these mighty wooden-hulled craft from around World War I until just before the second World War. This was an era when speed was still a new plaything, and speedboats and aircraft were raced as passionately as were automobiles; when massive mahogany speedboats powered by engines from suppliers such as Rolls-Royce competed fiercely against rivals from around the world. Classic speedboat enthusiasts will relish the cutaway drawings of these craft, as well as the choice archival photography and the modern color photography of these now-impeccably restored beauties.

Book Description
Excerpt from Ascent Perhaps the fact that this is a last vantage point makes more poignant one's sense of a wider and darker country beyond. The summit itself, with its split rocks and its faint show of a stunted underbrush, is the first to show the complete immunity of a region which is still a wilderness. The last farm runs out into stubble three miles back and the last road ends at its base. The glimpses of habitation, in the country immediately below, are reminders that the progression of the seasons, in the valley which must deepen to green and redden to brown under their touch, leaves the monotony of the upland unbroken. It seems beyond the sequences in the circle of fulfilment; and the picture one most readily forms of it is with the moving drift, across its barren face, of a perpetual snow, falling with the same immensity as the immensity of the skies.

Book Description
This “uncommonly astute study” examines the early development of the US-UK military alliance that would eventually lead to victory in WWII (Paul Miles, author of FDR’s Admiral). On December 12, 1937, Japanese aircraft sank the American gunboat Panay outside Nanjing, China. Although the Japanese apologized, President Roosevelt set Captain Royal Ingersoll to London to begin conversations with the British admiralty about Japanese aggression in the Far East. While few Americans remember the Panay Incident, it was the start of what would become the “Special Relationship” between the United States and Great Britain. In The Origins of the Grand Alliance, William T. Johnsen provides the first comprehensive analysis of Anglo-American military collaboration before the Second World War. He sets the stage by examining Anglo-French and Anglo-American coalition military planning from 1900 through World War I and the interwar years. Johnsen also considers the formulation of policy and grand strategy, operational planning, and the creation of the command structure and channels of communication. He addresses vitally important logistical and materiel issues, particularly the difficulties of war production. Drawn from extensive sources and private papers held in the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, Johnsen’s exhaustively researched study casts new light on the twentieth century’s most significant alliance.
