This was a fantastic look into what was going on with JFK’s assassination. It had a great case about what happened and was researched in a way that worked overall.

Enjoyed this very detailed story about the band. Learned a lot of things I didn’t know before about the band members and people in their lives as well.

This is the first book I have seen in this series of books from the author. Not really a text book to be simply read from start to finish, but the most amazing reference book on the ships of the US Navy, and in this case Destroyers. The author is a US Navy veteran of 32-years, a combat veteran of tours in the Vietnam War and so clearly a very knowledgeable man who has dedicated a great deal of time in assembling this amazing reference. Every class of warship is covered in this series, with basic details of procurement, dimensions and characteristics of every individual vessel, and a summary of the history and development of each one, The whole book is also profusely illustrated with archive images of the ships, some with individual pictures but others with multiple images showing the ships at different times/camouflage schemes. In this book we have details of the Destroyers of the Clemson Class (over 156 vessels!), the Farragut Class (8 vessels), Porter Class (8 vessels), Mahan Class (16.. Read more

If you have read the excellent books by Dr Helen Fry on Britain's intelligence gathering & the bugging of German POWs during the second world war, then this is the story of how the Americans created an almost identical system, for both Japanese & German prisoners. Between 1943-46 almost 3500 Germans lived only twelve miles from the Pentagon at a POW camp called Fort Hunt. Elsewhere in the US, a once luxurious Californian hotel where stars such as Clark Gable & Charlie Chaplin once frequented, Japanese POWs now occupied those same rooms. Unbeknown to them was the fact that all their rooms were bugged by hidden microphones in the previously lowered ceilings. Both of these facilities were based on British sites like Trent Park which had proved to be very successful. Like Britain, the US had also taken in Jewish refugees from Germany before the war. Some of these men were trained in how to question & interrogate German POWs, others would translate what the many microphones recorded. In the.. Read more
