“…the first militarily professional description of the Pearl Harbor attack, and for those who are serious about military history and operations, it is a joy to read… a superb military analysis of the attack…not only rendered all other histories of Pearl Harbor obsolete, it has set the bar high got other histories of the Pacific War.”

Sacrifice on the Steppe The Italian Alpine Corps in the Stalingrad Campaign, 1942-1943 “..the rarely told story of 227000 Italian troops fighting and dying in Russia in WII…details the Italian defense of their sector with tactical placements and actions in harrowing details of logistical failures, indefensible positions and bitter cold endurance…”

Pacific War Uncensored, The A War Correspondent’s Unvarnished Account of the Fight Against Japan
“… well written, entertaining, and insightful. I found myself not wanting to put the book down... very enjoyable. Hollywood would do good to buy the movie rights and make an action adventure movie on Harold Guard’s life. I strongly recommend the book.”

Gunship Ace The Wars of Neall Ellis, Helicopter Pilot and Mercenary “Al Venter can always be counted on to provide a good read…Recommend this book for military professionals who do not know Africa, helicopter pilots who enjoy a good tale and academics concerned with the growth of private armies and contract specialists in hotspots around the planet.”

Shadow Commander The Epic Story of Donald D. Blackburn—Guerrilla Leader and Special Forces Hero “…an excellent biography of one the Army’s lesser known but very important leaders. …. Blackburn’s activities in World War II alone would make him a hero, but the author goes on to cite in some detail Blackburn’s other contributions in Viet Nam as well as to the evolution of Army Special Forces.The author’s detailed accounts of Blackburn’s activities make this book a must read for anyone interested in military history, World War II, and particularly for anyone studying or who simply enjoys reading about guerilla warfare or Army Special Forces.

Day the World was Shocked The Lusitania Disaster and Its Influence on the Course of World War I “…not only tells the story of that disastrous day in 1915 but also provides valuable context for this important episode in naval history….For those readers looking for a top to bottom review of the Lusitania disaster, Protasio’s book is a perfect fit. His comprehensive approach to the subject will interest historians, sea service professionals and the general public.

Sacrifice on the Steppe The Italian Alpine Corps in the Stalingrad Campaign, 1942-1943
“…draws on personal interviews, exhaustive research and the written accounts of Italians who participated in and survived Mussolini's tragic decision of Italian involvement.…includes good notes, is well indexed, and has a great bibliography …If you're looking for a good overview and an understanding of what the Italian soldiers experienced then you'll enjoy the book. I give it four stars. It is a must addition to any military historian’s library. It is a good first volume to fill a long void of an English language account of the Italian involvement on the eastern front.”

Gunship Ace The Wars of Neall Ellis, Helicopter Pilot and Mercenary “Ellis is clearly a superb pilot, and I can’t imagine how he survived it all. Not just surviving the usual hazards when hostiles are trying to shoot you out of the air, but surviving the actual aircraft. . . . I couldn’t wait to finish the book to see what happened to Ellis in the end. Surely he was killed somewhere long ago, but no! Neall Ellis is still out there, somewhere, flying who knows what airframe in some nasty hotspot.”

“…nothing previously published has offered such a close examination of Japanese strategy…an in depth study of the Japanese planning, preparation and execution of the attack with particular focus on factors not thoroughly considered by other historians, if at all…full of revelations that counter common perceptions…detailed analyses that lead to a much better understanding of what the Japanese did, why they did it and especially how the attack was very nearly an abject failure instead of a stunning success.”

Awakening Victory How Iraqi Tribes and American Troops Reclaimed Al Anbar and Defeated Al Qaeda in Iraq “This is a riveting account of the ‘sharp end’ of fighting insurgents in Iraq. The successes Silverman reveals should give pause to the pundits who claim American forces are incapable of defeating a modern insurgency. Kudos to Casemate Publishing for another terrific book!”

“Zimm's conclusions will remain definitive for the foreseeable future… So, by all means, reread Gordon Prange's At Dawn We Slept, but definitely read Alan Zimm's Attack on Pearl Harbor for a fuller and more up-to-date understanding of an event that changed history and continues to fascinate.”

“…Goodell’s verbal images are visceral, as keen as you will find in contemporary combat non fiction. As a student of co author Hearn’s in 2006, Goodell never said a word about Iraq or Mortuary Affairs. Fortunately reader, she is talking and writing.”
MILITARY TIMES, August 2011

Featured Review

In this absorbing memoir, Iraq veteran Goodell recounts her service, the brutal, sexist culture of the Marine Corps, and her struggle to adapt to the world upon her return from Iraq. After enlisting, Goodell volunteered to serve with the Marines' first declared Mortuary Attachment in Iraq's Al Anbar province, in 2004. The Mortuary Attachment platoon was responsible for doing "what had to be done but that no one wanted to know about": they "processed" the bodies of U.S. and other soldiers killed in combat, so that they could be identified and returned to their families. She describes in gruesome detail what this involved, and how it affects the soldiers who care for their comrades in this way. She rubbed up against a Marine Corp culture that includes routine indignities ...outright misogyny ... and sexist marching cadences. Coming home, unable to gain weight or sleep or relax and unprepared for post-service life among a population that had no idea of who she was or what she had gone through, Goodell began to come apart. Her memoir is a courageous settling of accounts, and a very good read

Axis Sally The American Voice of Nazi Germany “Lucas is a very thorough researcher but also an excellent storyteller. His book provides not just details of Gillar’s life, but also the period details and contemporaneous events that put those details into perspective…Lucas’ blend of excellent research, period detail and well crafter narrative answers the questions of how an American girl put herself on the wrong side of history.”

“Shade It Black is a powerful, direct and honest account of one Marine’s experiences in Iraq. It is a story of trauma and struggle, but also of integrity and ultimately growth. For me, the twin themes of trauma and posttraumatic growth in this book recalled Somerset Maugham’s classic, The Razor’s Edge.”
