From Whaleboats to Amphibious Warfare
By: Venzon, Anne
Published by: Greenwood Publishing Group
An examination of Holland Smith's career in the Marine Corps follows its evolution from an insular constabulary at the turn of the 20th century to a juggernaut, landing American troops island by island in vital amphibious engagements up to 1945. Serving in important assignments from the Philippines to China to Latin America, Smith became deeply involved in the development of amphibious strategy and tactics, as well as in the creation of proper landing craft by the early 1930s. After Pearl Harbor, the Marines would turn to him to plan and lead operations in the Gilberts, the Marianas, and the Volcano Islands, culminating in the epic operation at Iwo Jima. Venzon details the life of this quiet, modest man who, she contends, deliberately cultivated the persona of an irascible, unreasonable perfectionist, in an effort to do everything possible to protect the Marines under his command.

George Goring (1608-1657)
By: Memegalos, Florene S.
Published by: Ashgate
This first modern biography of George Goring, traces his life from its comfortable Sussex beginnings to the intrigues of court life, where he developed a reputation for drinking, gambling and fighting. It also charts his exploits on the continent, where he commanded a regiment in the service of the Dutch service, culminating in the siege of Breda. The remainder of the book relates his service to the Royalist cause during the English Civil War, and subsequent exile during the Commonwealth period. By reassessing the life of George Goring, not only do we learn more about an extraordinary individual, but much light is thrown upon the social, political, military and international history of the first half of the seventeenth century.
