  Blind Man's Bluff - The Untold...

  No espionage missions have been kept more secret than those involving American submarines. Now, Blind Man's Bluff shows for the first time how the Navy sent submarines wired with self-destruct charges into the heart of Soviet seas to tap crucial underwater telephone cables. It unveils how the Navy's own negligence might have been responsible for the loss of the USS Scorpion, a submarine that disappeared, all hands lost, thirty years ago. It tells the complete story of the audacious attempt to steal a Soviet submarine with the help of eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, and how it was doomed from the start. And it reveals how the Navy used the comforting notion of deep sea rescue vehicles to hide operations that were more James Bond than Jacques Cousteau. 
  Blind Man's Bluff contains an unforgettable array of characters, including the cowboy sub commander who brazenly outraced torpedoes and couldn't resist sneaking up to within feet of unaware enemy subs. It takes us inside clandestine Washington meetings where top submarine captains briefed presidents and where the espionage war was planned one sub and one dangerous encounter at a time. Stretching from the years immediately after World War II to the present-day operations of the Clinton Administration, it is an epic story of daring and deception. A magnificent achievement in investigative reporting, it feels like a spy thriller, but with one important difference'everything in it is true.

  Growing up in Montana, Chris La Tray always identified as Indian. Despite the fact that his father fiercely denied any connection, he found Indigenous people alluring, often recalling his grandmother's consistent mention of their Chippewa heritage. 
   
   
   
  When La Tray attended his grandfather's funeral as a young man, he finally found himself surrounded by relatives who obviously were Indigenous. "Who were they?" he wondered, and "Why was I never allowed to know them?" Combining diligent research and compelling conversations with authors, activists, elders, and historians, La Tray embarks on a journey into his family's past, discovering along the way a larger story of the complicated history of Indigenous communities—as well as the devastating effects of colonialism that continue to ripple through surviving generations. And as he comes to embrace his full identity, he eventually seeks enrollment with the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians, joining their 158-year-long struggle for federal recognition. 
   
   
   
  Both personal and historical, Becoming Little Shell is a testament to the power of storytelling, to family and legacy, and to finding home. Infused with candor, heart, wisdom, and an abiding love for a place and a people, Chris La Tray's remarkable journey is both revelatory and redemptive.

  A survey of Chinese naval operational history, Li's book focuses on the major battles and important engagements of Chinese naval operations from 1949-2009. His findings elucidate the origin of and changes of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) by examining its adaptation, modernization, and setbacks in the past sixty years. Based upon newly available Chinese sources and personal interviews with retired generals, admirals, and PLA officers, the work offers Chinese perspective on the study of PLAN war fighting history. The untold operational stories of the Chinese captains, boatswains, sailors, gunners, and naval pilots provide a firsthand look at a naval officer and his crew during the Cold War and beyond. They also indicate important lessons learned by the naval leaders who faced the enemies during a period when the PLAN underwent a complex transformation. 
   
   
   
  China's New Navy explains how the Chinese Navy's operational experience brought about its reform. It concludes that some early experiences are still relevant to Beijing's leaders as they consider specific strategic and operational challenges. Li redefines and adapts such strategic Cold War concepts as nuclear deterrence and local warfare to be meaningful in today's strategic context, one in which PLAN is ready to open fire first in a defensive offense against the other sea powers like the US Navy.

  The Roman Empire and Its Enemies...

  The rise of Rome is a story of resilience, military strength, and strategic diplomacy. Emerging from a small settlement along the Tiber River, Rome transformed into a dominant power that would shape the ancient world for centuries. The foundation of Rome’s success lay in its political adaptability, disciplined military, and ability to integrate conquered peoples into its expanding empire. 
  Rome began as a monarchy, but after the expulsion of its last king in 509 BCE, it became a republic governed by elected officials and a system of checks and balances. This new structure allowed Rome to expand without being solely reliant on a single ruler. The Roman Republic was marked by a strong Senate, magistrates, and popular assemblies, which provided a balance of power. However, as Rome grew, internal conflicts between the patrician elite and the plebeian class led to significant social and political reforms, further strengthening the state’s stability. 
  The backbone of Rome’s expansion was its formidable military. The Roman legions, composed of disciplined and well-trained soldiers, were unmatched in organization and adaptability. Unlike other ancient armies that relied heavily on individual heroism, Rome’s military success stemmed from its ability to fight as a cohesive unit. Roman soldiers were rigorously trained, equipped with superior weapons, and organized into flexible formations such as the manipular system, which allowed them to adapt to various battle conditions. This military efficiency enabled Rome to conquer neighboring territories, including the Latin League, the Etruscans, and the Samnites, solidifying its control over central Italy.
