The witch trials and the imprisonment of the Japanese both started as a result of a beginning, shocking event. For example, in the witch trials, it was the dancing of the girls in the woods and the strange “coma” of Betsy.

The clerks of the association bookstore were friendly to us despite our intrusive presence for weeks at a time over several years. The food and drinks donated by Concessionnaire Carol Lim are also ap preciated. Pacific Area Director Bryan Harry, senior park service official in the study area, kept a quiet, watchful eye on the project as it unfolded but was ready to lend his support whenever necessary. This project also required smooth coordination between two nps regional offices. Regional Directors of Western and South west Region (home office of scru) during the period the work took place were howardchapman and Stan Albright (western) and Bob Kerr and John Cook (southwest). Roger Kelly, regional ar cheologist for Western Region played an active role each year in ensuring that this interregional coordination and coopera tion held together. Chief archeologist of the National Park Service, Doug Scovill, has programmatic authority over the Sub merged Cultural Resources Unit and strongly supported the Pearl Harbor opera tion. Cal Cummings, senior service ar cheologist in Denver, paid an ou-site visit in 1986 and offered comparisons to work he was involved with on the uss monitor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Written by the man who masterminded the British victory in the Falklands, this engrossing memoir chronicles events in the spring of 1982 following Argentina\'s takeover of the South Atlantic islands. Adm. Sandy Woodward, a brilliant military tactician, presents a complete picture of the British side of the battle. From the defeat of the Argentine air forces to the sinking of the Belgrano and the daring amphibious landing at Carlos Water, his inside story offers a revealing account of the Royal Navy\'s successes and failures.At times reflective and personal, Woodward imparts his perceptions, fears, and reactions to seemingly disastrous events. He also reveals the steely logic he was famous for as he explains naval strategy and planning. His eyewitness accounts of the sinking of HMS Sheffield and the Battle of Bomb Alley are memorable.Many Britons considered Woodward the cleverest man in the navy. French newspapers called him Nelson. Margaret Thatcher said he was precisely the right man to fight the world\'s first computer war. Without question, the admiral\'s memoir makes a significant addition to the official record. At the same time it provides readers with a vivid portrayal of the world of modern naval warfare, where equipment is of astonishing sophistication but the margins for human courage and error are as wide as in the days of Nelson. Marine general Victor Brute Krulak offers here a riveting insiders\'s chronicle of U.S. Marines - their fights on the battlefield and off, and their extraordinary esprit de corps. He not only takes a close look at the Marine experience during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam - wars in which Krulak was himself a participant - but also examines the foundation on which the Corps is built. In doing so, he helps answer the question of what it means to be a Marine and how the Corps has maintained such a consistently outstanding reputation. Also Available in an Audio Edition from Audible via AmazonAuthor Stephen Young was a seaman first class assigned to gunnery duty in turret no. 4 on the Oklahoma when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Struck by a bomb, the battleship started to sink, and Young and others became trapped when it overturned. Young describes their terrifying experience with stunning clarity. He recounts the violence of the capsizing, which killed or injured many of the men, and the survivors\' frantic search for an escape route. He remembers their horror at finding all the exits blocked and their despair over the possibility of never being rescued.This account of their experience is undeniably one of the most dramatic stories to unfold during the air raid. With incredible realism, Young describes the water\'s inexorable rise, inch by awful inch the sickening taste of fuel oil the foul smell of the air the nervous wisecracks echoing through the cold darkness and finally the silence. The intensity and suspense rival that of any fictional thriller--the recounting of his escape is particularly spellbinding. To place his experiences in a broader context, Young also provides little-known tales of tragedy and bravery that occurred elsewhere on that Day of Infamy. First published in hardcover in 1991 to wide acclaim, this memorable story remains popular today.
