Synopsis

In "The Fire on the Ocean: Naval War of 1812," Theodore Roosevelt crafts a compelling narrative that delves into the naval engagements of the War of 1812, highlighting the valor and strategic ingenuity of American naval forces. This historical account is written with a vivid literary style, combining meticulous research with a passionate prose that evokes the tumult of sea battles and national pride. Roosevelt's work situates the naval conflict within its broader geopolitical context, revealing how these maritime skirmishes played a crucial role in shaping the early identity of the United States amidst international hostility. As the 26th President of the United States, Roosevelt's insights into the naval history are informed by his own formidable background as a military leader and naturalist, providing him with unique perspectives on American strength and resilience. His experiences in the Rough Riders and his fervent advocacy for a powerful navy underscore his belief in the importance of maritime dominance for national security and prestige, making this book not only a historical account but a reflection of his own aggressive foreign policy ideals. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in American history, naval warfare, or the evolution of national identity. Roosevelt's engaging style and passionate advocacy transport readers through the trials faced by the young nation during perilous times, making it both an informative and exhilarating exploration of American naval history.

    The renowned Ted Bundy expert reveals never-before-published information on little known aspects of the serial killer’s crimes and victims. Due to Kevin Sullivan’s extensive writing about Ted Bundy (which has produced six books), he’s become a sort of magnet over the years, drawing out many people who were part of the Bundy story, but have otherwise kept a low profile over the decades; and these first-person contacts continue to this day.  As such, this is the first book in a new series of books, whose aim is to bring new revelations to the public about Bundy, the victims, the murders, and the almost murders that failed Bundy for one reason or another.  “With all the material we have on Ted Bundy, it’s easy to think we’ve thoroughly covered his life and crimes. But there still are holes, still things to learn . . . Newly discovered facts, some speculation, and some clarification—they’re all here. For those who can’t get enough of Bundy, the items in this illuminating volume show that we can still chip away at his secrets.” —Katherine Ramsland, author of Confession of a Serial Killer: The Untold Story of Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer

    "The Navy" by Harold Clark takes you from the streets of Baltimore to the dark thirty chaos of Grenada's invasion, where Marines hit the beaches with guns blazing. The book displays what the real Navy looks like—where sailors live by mottos like 'Keep the screws turning and the lights burning' and learn hard lessons like 'tonnage has its privileges in the shipping channel.' Relive the Gator Navy days aboard LCU 1655 during Operation Northern Wedding, when a near-collision with a tanker in the Norwegian Sea taught Clark's crew to scan everything—high and low. Feel the tension of Beirut's Red Beach operations and the bitter retreat when the American flag came down, and the Syrian flag went up. Clark tells about his distinctive journey—a Navy life—told straight from the gut by a sailor who lived every minute of it, from boot camp to his final voyage aboard the USS Whidbey Island.
