' rnrr*ercial Almanacs and Pilots
comprehensive survey by ■ Dunlap

He has conducted a number ^^Qvigahon studies for the Navy and Coast Guard, and l 1 project manager for a DX destroyer program study. He tn ' designed and produced over 20 navigational instru- nav-S’ and has authored numerous articles on air and marine V Nilon- He is the co-author of the new edition of Dutton's av,gation and Piloting.)
Today, the governments of the major mari- lrne nations publish the great majority of foXts dealing with navigation, and we tend to °rget that this field was originally the sole ^ oniain of the commercial publisher. The first n'ajor governmental entry into the field oc- ^ed in 1696, when the French National oservatory published an almanac, entitled ^‘nruussance des Temps. This was followed in ®' by the British Nautical Almanac, also a ?°vernment publication, which was generally Used by both American and British navigators uatil the U. S. Navy’s almanac was published ln 1855.
Navigational texts, tables, charts, and coast °ts continued to be published privately; q ’jot’s American Coast Pilot, Humphrey’s Rental Navigator and India Officers and Traders and Bowditch’s Navigator are but three . otany American publications in general use 1,1 this field. In Britain, during the late 18th and 19 th centuries, a tremendous number of r0rnmercial nautical publications appeared , r Dck of government competition; the Vdrographic Department of the British diniralty was not established until 1795.
In this country, the government’s real entry into the field coincided with Lieutenant Matthew Fontaine Maury’s arrival at the Navy’s Depot of Charts and Instruments as Officer-in-charge in 1842. This depot is now known as the U. S. Naval Oceanographic Office. Charts, sailing directions, coast pilots, tide and tidal current predictions began to be published, and replaced most of the privately published texts. In Great Britain, the government similarly began publishing navigational material in ever-increasing quantity. In both the United States and Britain, many publishers in the marine field sought new and more profitable markets.
The orderly gathering and publishing of navigational data is a proper function of government, if safety at sea is to be maintained on a world-wide basis. Intergovernmental exchange of data, through the International Hydrographic Bureau at Monaco, provides for improved services to all nations. The government data are and should be, available not only for use at sea but also for reprinting by commercial publishers offering specialized services. Nevertheless, both here and in Britain, some commercial producers still find a market for specialized navigational publications, as these fill a need more economically than do the government publications.
Government publications, other than charts, may conveniently be divided into three categories, as this has a direct bearing on the continuing success of the surviving commercial publications. The first of these categories consists of publications appearing annually, such as the Nautical Almanac, Air Almanac, Tide Tables, and the Tidal Current Tables.
The second category contains publications on various navigational aids. Typical are the Coast Pilots, Light Lists, Radio Aids to Navigation (H.O. 117), and Radio Weather Aids (H.O. 118). The data contained in these texts are not subject to annual change. Revisions, when required, are made by the issuance of supplements by the responsible government agency, and by corrections published in the Notice to Mariners.
The third category includes textbooks, and tables which require no updating, such as the Tables of Computed Altitude and Azimuth (H.O. 214), Dutton’s Navigation and Piloting, and the reference work Bowditch (H.O. 9).
In this country, as in Britain, such publications, essentially devoted to supplying the mariner with only one type of information, are almost entirely government produced. In this review, the author considers the commercial publications in this field which, in one volume, include data, usually for a limited area, drawn from two, and sometimes all three of the previously listed categories. In most cases, such books are published annually. Since they contain, in one volume, much of the necessary data for the area of their coverage, culled from many governmental publications, they save both the bulk and cost of the publications which they replace. To demonstrate that this bulk and cost can be large, consider what a yacht owner, sailing in and out of Marblehead, and spending his weekends offshore, would require in order to have complete navigational data. In addition to charts, he would need a Nautical Almanac-, sight reduction tables, such as Volume V of H.O. 214; Tide Tables for the East Coast of North and South America; Tidal Current Tables Atlantic Coast of North America, Radio Aids to Navigation, Atlantic (H.O. 117-A); Radio
Weather Aids, Atlantic (H.O. 118-A); Light List, Volume l, Atlantic Coast; and the Coast Pilot Volume I, Eastport to Cape Cod Canal. These eight volumes, at current prices, cost $26.75, weigh 18 pounds, and require ten inches of bookshelf, and at least three would have to be replaced annually.
There are many mariners whose operations are confined to limited areas. It is this group that creates a good market for commercial publications, which, for a stated area, combine in a single volume, much of the necessary
data. In view of the wealth of information contained in most of these publications, their prices seem reasonable. They contain advertising, and the cost to the buyer is held down-
Reed’s Ocean Navigator, 1969
Captain Charles W. Roberts. London1 Thomas Reed Publications, Ltd., 1969, 900 pages, 14 pull-out charts, 120 illustrations, j diagrams, and additional charts, lOf "YJ\ ■ $11.00. '
This is a new annual, making its debut this year. It differs from the other volumes being considered because it is intended for worldwide, rather than regional use, and is undoubtedly the most ambitious commercial publication of its type today. It contains a reproduction of the entire Nautical Almanac for 1969, plus Dreisonstok’s Navigation TableS for Mariners and Aviators (H. O. Pub. No. 208), thus permitting global celestial sight reduction. H.O. 208, like H.O. 211 and the WeemS Line of Position Tables, is one of the so-called “short methods” developed in the late 1920s and early 1930s, before inspection tables, such as H.O. 214, came into general use. Since the British merchant marine officer is expected to provide his own reduction tables, the “shod methods” are still popular with him. Included with the explanatory data on celestial naviga' tion are excellent star charts, based on principal constellations and pointers from these constellations for star identification. Information on reducing sights, many of the “Useful Tables” in Boivditch, and also helpful notes on determining the distance and initial heading in great circle sailing are included.
There are 21 sections giving practical information on such subjects as search and rescue, modern weather routing, the use of VHF radio telephone, and frequency allocations' This information is particularly useful, since the VHF phone is used in conjunction with a radar harbor advisory service at many major European seaports. Meteorology is covered briefly, but well, and includes tracks of typical cyclonic storms. Data on the main seasonal routes for each ocean are given. There is information on sea ice, with chartlets showing the current systems in the oceans, the zones 1 where seasonal load lines or Plimsol marks apply, the areas covered by the various Admiralty Sailing Directions, Lits of Lights, and

e meanings of symbols used on Admiralty • arts- A set of tables and instructions are also ^eluded for use with Volumes II and III 0 the Admiralty Tide Tables, to permit har- r,l°nic prediction of the height of the tide at any time between high and low water. These auxiliary tables are based on the diurnal and semidiurnal forces of the sun and moon for e prediction. The arrangement and use of e tables are unique for most American
readers.
^he Ocean Navigator is a most useful work, and will find its place in the chart rooms of many merchant ships. It is expensive, but the c°st is warranted. It is unfortunate that it is ,10t: hound in loose-leaf form, so that the nautical almanac section could be renewed dually, while retaining the more perma- tlem data from year to year.
ge’s Tide and Pilot Book, 1969
Q1~ - Many chartlets
X6". $2.00.
Aldridge’s Tide and Pilot Book is the dean of t^merican publications of this type. This is e 95th annual edition. Its primary area of c°verage is between Boston and New York, lllcluding Long Island Sound. However, ?°nsiderable information is included for aine and Nova Scotia, and south to the k hesapeake Bay. Tidal data for the areas are ased on high and low water at Boston, al, _°ugh a separate table, giving the time of water at the Battery in New York Har- 0r is included. Current tables for the Cape °d Canal, Gay Head, and Cross Rip, the •arrows in New York Harbor, Hell Gate, the ace in Long Island Sound, and Woods Hole are also given.
Small tidal current chartlets, reproduced r°m those of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Urvey (C&GS), show the set and drift of the ^rrent for every hour in Long Island Sound, meyard and Nantucket Sounds, and Boston arbor. The effect of a strong wind on tidal fronts, and arranging to take advantage of a fair current are covered.
principal lights and fog signals between 0va Scotia and the Chesapeake are listed . r the sea coast, sounds, and bays. A most mteresting feature of this book is that it gives c°urses, including turning points, and distances for much of the area of the book’s coverage; courses are stated in points magnetic, degrees magnetic, and degrees true. The numbers of the Coast & Geodetic Survey charts for each immediate area are also given. These course and distance data are most useful.
Additionally, the book lists the radio beacons along the Atlantic coasts of Canada and the United States, as far south as the Virginia Capes, giving their call signs, sequences of operation, nominal ranges, and a description of their method of operation. Distance-finding stations are also included. Data is given on Consolan, the correction of radio bearings, and the times and frequencies of radio weather reports. A limited amount of ephemeristic data is included. These consist of a table giving the equation of time for every day of the year, the phases of the moon, the times of moonrise and moonset at Boston (X 71°W), the times of sunrise and sunset at Boston, the sun’s declination for every day of the year, and the sun’s azimuth (not amplitude) at rise and set.
Miscellaneous matter, primarily of interest to the small craft operator is presented. Covered are such topics as mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, with brief notes on basic first aid; excellent information on the magnetic compass; time-speed tables; notes on summer fog for the coast from New Jersey to Maine; a brief description of a typical hurricane, together with the precautions to be taken in the event of a storm both offshore and along the coast; and motor boat equipment and ventilation. _
Eldridge’s 1969 edition continues to print a facsimile of Captain George W. Eldridge’s letter, addressed to “My dear Captain and Mr. Mate,” cautioning them against the danger of being set by the current on the “Graveyard” along the northwest side of Vineyard Sound, where many coasting schooners were lost.
Where navigational lights are listed, no indication is given on either the power of the light or its height above waters. This information would be helpful. The schedule of commercial radio weather reports requires referring to a separate list of station frequencies, and no indication is given as to the strength of the radiated signal.
Eldridgis Tide and Pilot Book has served five generations of sailormen extremely well. It is strongly recommended to all yachtsmen who cruise New England waters.
The Boating Almanac, 1969
New York: G. W. Bromley & Co., Inc., 1969. 300 pages. 8^"X5J". Three volumes. $2.00 per volume.
Volume I of Bromley’s The Boating Almanac covers the tidal waters of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. Volume II covers Long Island, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Volume III covers the Chesapeake Bay, New Jersey, and the Hudson River.
The major service offered by this annual is a complete listing of all marine facilities available to the yachtsman. Boat yards, public launching ramps, marinas, and gas docks are listed, and detailed information is given on the services offered by each. Sections of Coast & Geodetic Survey charts are reproduced, showing the exact location of each facility. Yacht clubs are also listed, and their locations shown.
Reproductions of the Coast and Geodetic Survey’s Tide Tables and Tables and Tidal Differences and other Constants are included, as well as Tables of Daily Current Predictions, and Current Differences and Other Constants. The C&GS tidal current chartlets for every hour are also reproduced.
An excellent table of radio stations broadcasting weather forecasts is presented. The location, call letters, frequency, and exact geographic location of the transmitting antenna, together with the times of the broadcasts are listed. The exact antenna locations are given, and can be noted on a chart. The stations may conveniently be used to obtain radio direction finder bearings. The Coast Guard-operated radio beacons are also tabulated in a highly convenient form.
The 1969 edition contains an article on predicted log navigation, which should be very helpful to the novice. Also included, are an outline of the Rules of the Road, running light requirements, sailboat rigging, lifesaving procedures, and various other items of data for quick reference.
The Boating Almanac is not actually an almanac, since it only gives minimal ephemeris- tic data. The volume submitted for review
contained only two tables, giving the times of the rising and setting of the moon and sum ,
The Boating Almanac should be a definite assistance to many boat owners, as it not only tells, but also shows them where to go for any service they require.
Boating and Fishing Almanac, 1969
William Berssen (ed.); Venice, Calif.: Boating ' and Fishing Almanac, 1969. 320 pages. Many aerial photographs and chartlets. 9"X(m $2.95.
The Boating and Fishing Almanac describes itself as “The Year-Round Guide for South' ern California, the Colorado River, Lake Mead, Salton Sea, and Coastal Waters from Morro Bay to Ensenada.” It is primarily a coast pilot, intended for the yachtsman, and is also a tide table. Tides for Los Angeles and San Diego are presented both graphically and in the form of tables, reproduced from the Coast & Geodetic Survey tables. A table of tidal differences for other California harbors, and the number of the chart for each is also given. A reproduction of the C&GS current tables for San Diego Bay is also included, as is a series of diagrams showing the tidal range in j the Gulf of California. An additional volume, covering Northern California, is proposed for 1970.
The information in the coast pilot section of the book is well presented, and appears to cover everything necessary for the yachtsman' Taking the section devoted to Santa Barbara as an example, pertinent data from Volume VII of the C&GS Coast Pilot is quoted. Addi' tionally, the Santa Barbara marine radio beacon’s characteristics, and those of the Santa Barbara Aero Beacon are given for use in making an approach in poor visibility- The name of the harbor master is given, with the telephone circuits of his office guards. The office location is shown on an excellent aerial view of the harbor, and the yachtsman is instructed to contact the harbor master ofl entering the harbor to be assigned a slip’ Special information of interest to the yachtsman and sport fisherman is shown, such as fuel and repair facilities, the local yacht clubs, the launching ramp, and their locations. The town of Santa Barbara is briefly described, and a paragraph is devoted to the local fiestas.
In addition to the aerial photograph, a small
Pilot
are reproduced, describing the coast on
sub
artlet of the harbor is reproduced, without undings, and a table of magnetic courses j'.ud distances to other points is given. Per- 'uent portions of Volume VII of the Coast
side of Santa Barbara to the next har- °b with additional notes for the yachtsman. Phemeristic data are confined to sunrise and Unset tables for Los Angeles and San Diego, phases of the moon, and a star chart for °f the four seasons.
here is also information on many other rJects of interest to the yachtsman. The gulations covering the entry of an American let 1 *nt° Mexican waters are quoted. Charts of areas for skin diving and game fishing t^e reproduced. The appropriate section of ^ 6 catalog showing the areas covered
Jf each chart, and local C&GS dealers are en. \ good section on trouble shooting for 0 u inboard and outboard engines is in- ^ ued, and also information on man over- jt°ard> fire, and abandoning ship procedures. r uas complete information on all facets of . 10 telephone communications procedures,
, _ data on radio weather broadcasts, in-
u the ESSA VHF transmissions. Other
e ul data, such as speed-time-distance tables ! e ulso included. A listing is given of both ^'ne and coastal radio beacons.
he Boating and Fishing Almanac is a magnifi- nt production, and is of great assistance to th 1 yachtsmen and fishermen operating in its'”]< 0astal waters of Southern California and rakes. The purchaser may, on application, reiVe free supplements, which provide cor- ections and additions.
^uide to Cruising Maryland Waters, O69-i970
Ch e<^ ’ Annapolis, Md.: Department of jjj esapeake Bay Affairs, 1969. 61 pages. 1 /i '„lstrated by reproductions of C&GS charts. 4 *10". $5.00.
cl ”'s guide is essentially an atlas of 20 u3rts> covering, as its name implies, the Porti°n of the Chesapeake Bay, and c.e dvers and estuaries of Maryland. The ca^s> which open to a size of 20"X14"are °pies of the C&GS series 1200 charts, repro- ** to the same scale (1:80,000) and then to the appropriate size. Forty-eight small a detail charts, on a larger scale are ineluded. The introduction states that all charts were corrected to December 1968, and that they are not to be used for navigation. Depth curves have been removed from the charts for clarity, except for the six-foot curve. Many magnetic courses and distances are shown on the charts, along with State and U. S. road numbers on the inland areas. Symbols show where gasoline, repairs, slips, and launching ramps are available.
Twelve current chartlets for the entire Chesapeake Bay are shown, based on the current off Baltimore Light. A separate pamphlet, included with the Guide, gives the tidal current predictions for Baltimore Light for 1969. Also given in the Guide are: an abbreviated outline of the rules of the road; symbols for buoys and markers; equipment required aboard the four classes of motor boats; a speed-distance-time table; a logarithmic speed scale; scale for the 1200 series chart reproductions; notes on safety and resuscitation; and the highlights of the Maryland Boat Act.
The Guide comes in a transparent plastic container, which allows it to be stowed while folded open, thus protecting it in bad weather, yet permitting its use.
The value of this publication would be further enhanced if the entire area of its coverage were shown on a single chart. It is inconvenient to plan the over-all course of a trip on more than one page of charts. A similar guide is issued for Virginia waters.
Yachtsman’s Guide to the Bahamas, 1969
Harry Kline (ed.); Coral Gables, Fla.: Tropic Isle Publishers, Inc., 1969. 312 pages. Many chartlets and photographs 9"X6". $1.50.
The Yachtsman's Guide to the Bahamas is an official publication of the Nassau Ministry of Tourism. It is primarily a coast pilot for the Bahamas and intended for use by yachtsmen and sport fishermen. Many chartlets, showing courses and distances, anchorages, coral heads, and other hazards to navigation are included. The descriptive text covers just about everything that might be of interest to the boatman in the area. Tide tables for the Bahamas are included, but no ephemeristic data are given.
It is an excellent volume, and has much additional information listed which is very
helpful for the yachtsman: pilotage in the Bahamas; water safety; procedure for yachts entering and departing the Bahamas; the Bahama Air-Sea Rescue Association, an organization of volunteers; light list; a list of radio stations broadcasting weather information; available radio facilities; service facilities throughout the island and what each offers; Bahamian currency; itinerary for suggested cruises; recipes for preparing native foods; notes on spearfishing; and first aid tips.
With the chartlets, excellent sketches are included, showing a landfall as “Basin Harbour Cay, 120°, 2M.” These should be most helpful to anyone unfamiliar with the area.
Waterway Guide, 1969
Dick Almy (ed.); Jacksonville, Fla.: Sidney J. Wain, Inc., 1969. 292 pages. Small chartlets and photographs. 10f"X7". $2.00 (Published in three editions annually: Southern, Middle Atlantic, and Northern)
The Southern edition of the Waterway Guide takes in the waters between Sea Island, Georgia, and Brownsville, Texas, on the Mexican border, and is primarily intended for the use of yachtsmen proceeding via the Intracoastal Waterway. Textual material is devoted to a generalized description of areas. No courses and distances are given in the text, and it is not intended as a substitute for a Coast Pilot. However, many distance tables are included. Very small chartlets are used to indicate the location of facilities and the services offered are given in detail—an important contribution to the cruising yachtsman.
No tide or current tables are given, so the book does not become obsolete on a given date. There is a fine tabulation of the majority of radio stations broadcasting weather reports, their call letters, frequencies, exact antennae locations, and the time of the broadcasts. Radiated signal strength is not stated.
An important section, for cruise planning via the Intracoastal Waterway, is a tabulation of bridge clearance heights. Also included in this Southern edition are travel tips for tourists to Mexico, with a brief description of the ports along the Mexican Gulf coast, information on the U. S. Power Squadron and Coast Guard Auxiliary classes, and many other notes of interest to boatmen.
The Waterway Guide has long been of ser
vice to boatmen, in telling them “what they could get and where.” The Middle Atlantic and Northern editions cover the same subjects in their particular area.
Three Rivers Boating Guide
Captain Jack Ross (ed.); Monroeville, Pa-' Captain Jack Ross, 1968. 80 pages. Chartlets and photographs. 105"X8". $1.95.
The Three Rivers Boating Guide is intended for the use of yachtsmen on the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers, and on the Ohio fro'1’ ( the confluence of the Allegheny and Monon- gahela through West Virginia. Essentially) ll consists of vertical chartlets, each showing 1^ to 15 miles of river, with descriptive text printed beside it. The text gives the mileage on the river, and indicates whether the refer' ence is to the right or left bank, as “17.4 L> Logan’s Ferry Boat Docks.” On the opposite page, more detailed information is given, regarding snack bars, picnic areas, number o> slips, cost of overnight dockage, ramps, and availability of fresh water, food, and accessories.
A table giving the times of sunrise and sunset for the late spring, summer, and early autumn is included, along with helpful notes on river pilotage, docking, rules of the road for Western rivers, whistle signals, etc. The book was developed to make river piloting easy for every boatman by teaching him ho''' to “read the river.”
With the increased interest in boating in the inland areas in recent years, this type of publication should be encouraged. The Thne Rivers Boating Guide should be helpful to any boatman using those waters.

Naval Documents of the American Revolution, Volume 3
William Bell Clark (ed.). Washington, D. C.: U. S. Government Printing Office, 1968. 1,486 pages. Illus. $9.75.
REVIEWED BY
Rear Admiral Samuel E. Morison, U. S. Naval Reserve (Retired)
(Admiral Morison is well known for his 1042 Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Columbus, Admiral of the Ocean Sea, and also for his Maritime History of Massachusetts. He was appointed naval historian of American naval operations in World War II, and subsequently wrote historical volumes of many operations. Retired from the Navy in 1951, he was also Jonathan Trumbull Professor of American History at Harvard University, where he has been a member of the faculty since 1915.)
The third volume of this fine project initiated and commanded by the Director of Naval History, Rear Admiral Ernest M. Eller, U. S. Navy, does not get us to the Declaration of Independence; we are still in the war against the “ministerial hirelings.” But this reviewer would not have this volume cut down by so much as a page, since here, for all time, is the documentary history of a crucial period, in full.
Not only American libraries, collections, archives, and newspapers, but those of Canada, Great Britain, and France have been combed for relevant material with surprisingly ample results.
The most important naval operations covered by this volume are those of “George Washington’s navy” during the siege of Boston, and Montgomery’s amphibious operations against Quebec. This is a full account of outfitting the first American (strictly speaking, United Colonial) navy, including, in an appendix, the cost of every item in converting Colonel John Lee’s schooner Lynch of Marblehead to a warship. If you wish to know the price of rum, beer, brooms, blocks, board, and labor in 1776 before inflation set in, here it is. The contents of every British store ship and transport captured by the Washington Navy is here in detail.
From such a wealth of interesting and significant material, it is difficult to select anything in particular. Important documents which the reviewer does not remember having seen before, are Benedict Arnold’s dispatch of 11 January 1776 to the Continental
mouth, N. H. is from the Atlantic Neptune 0 1778, not the Atlantic Monthly, a small mistake for a very big book.
Our Own Worst Enemy
William J. Lederer. New York: Norton 1968. 287 pages. $4.95.
REVIEWED BY
Lieutenant Commander Hillary M. Robin' ette, U. S. Navy
Congress announcing the failure of his assault on Quebec, and the death of Montgomery (pp. 731-733); North Carolina’s Royal Governor Martin promising Lord Dartmouth that “the People called Regulators” will all join “the King’s Standard” (p. 757); Colonel Alexander McDougall’s advice to John Jay on warship construction accompanied by a “ruff diagram” (p. 1257); the correspondence of Joseph Hewes of North Carolina with members of the naval committee of Congress. There is no new light on the “Naval Lexington,” the battle off Ma- chias—that happened in Volume II—but several documents on the later service of the armed sloop Machias Liberty. (Captain Jeremiah O’Brien) are found here.
The volume is lavishly illustrated with maps, portraits, ship pictures, sketches of contemporary naval weapons, views of seaport towns, and a very amusing Tory caricature of 1776 “The Yankee Doodles Intrench- ments Near Boston.” There is an early portrait of John Adams, and Savage’s portrait of John Hancock and his wife Dorothy. The editors have commendably resisted the temptation to reproduce the phony portraits of Manly, Hopkins, and other naval heroes that were produced for the London market.
The inventories are full of information about how vessels were rigged, furnished, and supplied in those days. For instance, the ship Alfred, being supplied with “2 Sticking Candle sticks,” p. 1383) reminds us how ill-lighted ships were between decks. These candlesticks were supplied with a spike at a right angle to the holder so that they could be thrust into any upright piece of wood.
The editing has been competently done, and the index is comprehensive. I have noticed but one erratum—the View of Ports-

Unfortunately, the compulsive style and offhand narration clouds what could haV been an accurate analysis of American errof and a reasonable blueprint for redemption’ Mr. Lederer appears to have collected 3 series of informal interviews, recalled the tone of conversations, and assembled the emotional reactions of the participants, t0 create straw men for deft destruction. He ha3 succeeded; he has constructed a series °* vignettes and strung them together on a skein of indignation.
With little documentation and with veiled identifications, he tells of “deaf, dumb, gen' erous, humiliated, successful, and anguished Americans” he met in Vietnam. His ability to create a venal character in a few swif1
r° es of dialogue, combines with a descripte '3rush calculated to arouse the naive and s° astound the uninformed. The book is dec- Uctlve, and its intense exploration of vie °Us’ incompetent, and otherwise horrible *aniples is broken only briefly by a glimpse some “good guys” of a U. S. Marine Com- 'ned Action Platoon.
°teworthy is the fact that Mr. Lederer ca*es no new allegations. Asian and Ameri- the bureaucracy 'n South Vietnam have been e , Subject of endless popular reports and streniera- The very real and significant uSgle of good men, both American and ^°Uth Vietnamese, to create the beginning of anevv social order in South Vietnam is ig- a°reci *n this book. The tangible, meaningful, very heartening developments of the in fS S'nce ^le Diem overthrow are ignored ]j avor of a vituperative and indignant ; a"y °f despair. Noticeable by their absence t|.(Illention of: the hard-won progressions of y.e Section and convention of the South (j.letnamese Constituent Assembly; effective ^integration of some of the well-established , rnrnunist infrastructures in the country- e’ the increase of foodstuff transportation a °]1S {he major rivers of the Delta; continued ^n<: growing Viet Cong defections, and a per. Ptible and growing popular estrangement 0rn the “social inevitability” of a Viet Cong lctory.
t ^r- Lederer interprets the desperate at- amPts of the enemy in the 1968 Tet offensive Proof of American and South Vietnamese 1 'tary ignorance, lamenting it as a harbin- ^er of shameful defeat. He does not consider the rrible spectacle of that offensive to have Qeeu the psychological thrust of a well- ohC ■ Strated cacophony of terror, designed to ain world headlines and to reinforce the 'hides of fear which the insurgent must u'*d and bolster at home and abroad, j Popular account of the author’s biased 1(erviews with apparently preselected “a- Oralists,” Our Own Worst Enemy does a disservice to the hard and complex accomplishments of honorable men—-men who are accountable and can account for their actions. Such accounts, however, do not make juicy reading and seldom find support on the gossip circuit of service agencies.
Accepted as it stands, the book is a vivid cascade of unverifiable crimes, the guilt for which, according to Mr. Lederer, we all must share collectively. Readers of this book must remember that whatever culpable mistakes have been made by representatives of our nation in Vietnam, the assignment of collective guilt is a stock theme in the Pavlo- vian ploy of Communist psychological warfare. Taken by itself, Our Own Worst Enemy could be considered one of the many angry products of the passing joumalist-on-crusade. Unfortunately, the book provides psychological grist for the mind-bending mill of Communism and emotional ammunition for nonstudent intelligentsia.
The reader who is seriously interested in the very great effort required to understand the complicated nature of the Vietnamese “war of liberation,” must become more than a superficial student of Asian history, culture, and language. He will also study the proclamations, methods, and principles of “protracted war” as set forth by its practitioners and close observers. Instead of searching historical documents like the Declaration of North Vietnamese Independence—which obviously is irrelevant to the realpolitik of the so-called Democratic Republic of Vietnam— for evidence of American misjudgment, the serious student will recall the ultimate values that are at stake in a Communist-supported insurgency.
This will certainly not be the only volume on the subject to be read by those who are interested. If it is, let them not beat their breasts in remorse. Let the guilt of history be set forth by historians and serious scholars who can document and prove, not by novelists who titillate and enrage.

U. S. Naval Operations in the Mexican War, 1846-48
K. JACK BAUER
This definitive study of American naval operations during the Mexican War of 1846-48 is the first book devoted exclusively to the subject. Based upon official records, private papers, and published sources, it chronicles the actions of the U.S. Navy in the Gulf of Mexico, off California, and along Mexico’s west coast. The book describes in detail such events as the landing of General Winfield Scott’s army at Veracruz in America’s first large-scale amphibious operation, the conquest of California, and the little- known operations in the Gulf of California along the coast of Baja California. Essential reading for anyone interested in this formative period in American history. Index. Appendixes.

The dangers to India, with a hostile power in control of the Indian Ocean, are assessed with regard to her present strengths and weaknesses and her naval potential.
