JOE BUFF'S NON-FICTION "BOOK PICKS" --
(Great ones I've read myself lately, that influenced my thinking):

SEA WOLF: THE DARING EXPLOITS OF NAVY
LEGEND JOHN D. BULKELEY
by William B. Breuer,
Presidio Press (Novato, CA)

Bulkeley commanded the PT boat that rescued General MacArthur from the Phillipines at the start of World War II, for which he won the Medal of Honor. And that was only the beginning of a long and action packed career leading to him making admiral! Not a traditional dry, factual biography, this book is more a retelling of the most exciting parts of the admiral's long career. Watch especially for the time in the '60s when he commanded the Navy base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, where to retaliate for harrassment by the Cubans he had Seabees build on the side of a hill the biggest U.S. Marine Corps emblem in the world!

SEAPOWER AS STRATEGY: NAVIES AND NATIONAL INTERESTS
Norman Friedman
Naval Institute Press (Annapolis, MD)

Norman Friedman, Ph.D., is one of America's most noted naval historians and defense analysts. I strongly recommend every one of the many books he has written. This one will give you some great insights into the vital role of seapower as an instrument of both national defense and statecraft in the modern world!
