1.Ship of Ghosts: The Story of the USS Houston, FDR s Legendary Lost Cruiser, and the Epic Saga of her SurvivorsShip of Ghosts: The Story of the USS Houston, FDR's Legendary Lost Cruiser, and the Epic Saga of her Survivors
from Bantam
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
As a lover of military history, and WWII in particular, I was eager to read another great sea story, so highly rated. The title, Ship of Ghosts, was most intriguing, suggesting the story of a warship that kept up a fight while out of all communications. Unfortunately, the title turned out to be... more info

2.Left for Dead: A Young Man s Search for Justice for the USS IndianapolisLeft for Dead: A Young Man's Search for Justice for the USS Indianapolis
from Delacorte Books for Young Readers
Price: $8.95

Customer Review:
If you want to give your students an inspiration to do more for others than for themselves, give them this book. Scott Hunter's work was important and I appreciate this author's choice to write the book for the left for dead navy soldiers.

3.US Cruisers 1883-1904 (New Vanguard)US Cruisers 1883-1904 (New Vanguard)
from Osprey Publishing
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
Nicely put together overview of a very neglected area of naval design and development. This volume also contains a useful appendix which has the book's only obvious technical error: when referring to gun calibers, the author (or perhaps an ill-informed and over-zealous editor) includes a decimal... more info

from Southwater
Price: $10.19

Customer Review:
I found this book having very good illustrations but being otherwise rather superficial. It also contains quite a number of errors or inconsistencies, such as using the Weimar Republic flag as "header" for ships built and used by the Kaiserliche Marine; likewise for ships built during the Czarist... more info

from Nimble Books LLC
Price: $24.11

Customer Review:
With 24 pages of real content (not counting index, title page, colophon, blank pages at the end) and a large typesize at that, I was very disappointed in this book.
Each conversion project was given at most two paragraphs of attention, while every other one got a nice piece of lineart and a... more info

German Battlecruisers outlines the physical characteristics of the four designs the Imperial Fleet put to sea in World War 1. Some discussion of their design philosophy is included along with a brief history of each ship. There are a few small pictures sprinkled in to give you a flavor of these... more info

8.In Harm s Way: The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its SurvivorsIn Harm's Way: The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors
from Henry Holt and Co.

Customer Review:
This book was simply amazing. I don't need to describe it in detail. Lets just say there were scenes in the book where I cried. I have read hundreds of books on World War 2 and this by far is the deepest. I actually thought I was there with them feeling their thoughts and fearing their fears. This... more info

9.Storm Center: The USS Vincennes and Iran Air Flight 655 : A Personal Account of Tragedy and TerrorismStorm Center: The USS Vincennes and Iran Air Flight 655 : A Personal Account of Tragedy and Terrorism
from US Naval Institute Press

Customer Review:
I read this book and found many inaccuracies. Mr. Rogers was in Iran's territorial waters when he killed 290 people, including 66 innocent children. First of all, i could not believe that he is trying to profit from their deaths. I guess it wasn't enough that he and his crew all received medals for... more info

10.Hitler s Secret Pirate Fleet: The Deadliest Ships of World War IIHitler's Secret Pirate Fleet: The Deadliest Ships of World War II
from Bison Books
Price: $11.96

Customer Review:
This book was obviously written by a skilled researcher, but the research was done by a man who does not understand WWII-era naval warfare or its terminology well. Therefore, he gets the 'narrow' picture dead-on correct, but often makes errors in the larger context of things. For example, the author... more info
