Synopsis

In "The Eruption of Vesuvius in 1872," Luigi Palmieri presents a meticulous account of one of the most significant natural disasters of the 19th century. Written in a scientific yet evocative prose, the book interweaves first-hand observations with detailed geological analysis, capturing the awe and terror of the eruption that shook the region. Palmieri's unique narrative style bridges the gap between literature and scientific inquiry, reflecting the burgeoning fields of volcanology and disaster studies throughout the era, while also drawing upon historical accounts of Vesuvius that had intrigued writers and scientists alike. Luigi Palmieri, a prominent Italian meteorologist and geologist, dedicated much of his career to the fiery mountain that loomed near his hometown. His firsthand experience of the 1872 eruption, combined with a robust background in scientific research, culminated in this essential work. Palmieri's commitment to advancing the understanding of volcanic activity is evident in his detailed documentation, making him a pivotal figure in the history of earth sciences in Italy. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of both natural disasters and historical geology. Palmieri's narrative not only serves as a scientific report but also as a poignant reminder of nature's power. Readers will find themselves drawn into the vivid descriptions and insightful commentary that have contributed to its lasting significance in the academic study of volcanology.

    An incisive account of the Arctic convoys, and the essential role Bletchley Park and Special Intelligence played in Allied success 
     
     
      
    Between 1941 and 1945, more than eight hundred shiploads of supplies were delivered to the Soviet Union protected by allied naval forces. Each journey was a battle against the elements, with turbulent seas, extreme cold, and the constant dread of torpedoes. These Arctic convoys have been mythologized as defenseless vessels at the mercy of deadly U-boats—but was this really the case? 
     
     
      
    David Kenyon explores the story of the war in the Arctic, revealing that the contest was more evenly balanced that previously thought. Battles included major ship engagements, aircraft carriers, and combat between surface ships. Amid this wide range of forces, Bletchley Park's Naval Section played a decisive role in Arctic operations, with both sides relying heavily on Signals Intelligence to intercept and break each other's codes. Kenyon presents a vivid picture of the Arctic theater of war, unearthing the full-scale campaign for naval supremacy in northern waters.

    A vivid memoir of the Vietnam War by a crew chief who flew on hundreds of flights during his tour. 
     
     
     
    During Vietnam, the basic role of the USMC gunship squadrons was to protect the transport helicopters during medevac missions, troop insertions and extractions, resupply missions, and supporting the Marines on the ground during operations and patrols. Basically, whenever the Marines or South Vietnam friendlies got in trouble the gunships were dispatched to assist them. 
     
     
     
    As a gunner, and later crew chief, Pete Greene flew hundreds of missions on Huey gunships—flying practically every day with different pilots and gunners. In this vivid memoir he recalls many of those missions, including providing gunship support for MACV-SOG in and around I Corps area, working with Marine Recon, and undertaking frequent, perilous resupply and medevac and medevac support missions.
