Download or read book A Signal Victory written by David C Skaggs and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2012-04-15 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of Lake Erie on 10 September 1813 is considered by many to be the most important naval confrontation of the War of 1812. Made famous by the American fleet commander Oliver Hazard Perry's comment, "We have met the enemy and they are ours," the battle marked the U.S. Navy's first successful fleet action and was one of the rare occasions when the Royal Navy surrendered an entire squadron. This book draws on British, Canadian, and American documents to offer a totally impartial analysis of all sides of the struggle to control the lake. New diagrams of the battle are included that reflect the authors' modification of traditional positions of various vessels. The book also evaluates the strategic background and tactical conduct of the British and the Americans and the command leadership exercised by Perry and his British opponent, Commander Robert H. Barclay. Not since James Fenimore Cooper's 1843 book on the subject has the battle been examined in such detail, and not since Alfred Thayer Mahan's 1905 study of the war has there been such a significant reinterpretation of the engagement. First published in hardcover in 1997, the book is the winner of the North American Society for Oceanic History's John Lyman Book Award.

Download or read book Building Personal Success written by Leonard Campagnaro and published by Leonard Campagnaro. This book was released on 2023-12-10 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brief book, we invite readers to begin a journey toward inner guidance and managing their personal success. Starting a process of personal supervision is the first step towards transforming your own life, seeking a healthier state that is aligned with your needs and desires. The truth is that to become a more fulfilled person, it is essential to start this permanence at some point, and this involves changing the way you are. Each person is an architect of their personal universe, and if things do not meet your expectations, this signals the need for internal changes to obtain different results. Without a change to the internal configuration, the results will remain unchanged. In the following pages, we explore the 10 fundamental laws that will serve as a guide to achieving personal transformation and achieving your goals. We talk about these laws and principles that must be known and followed to achieve objectives aligned with your interests. When things don't work out as desired, we are often assuming it as "laws of failure" due to inappropriate thoughts and actions. There is a sequence of steps or procedures that must be followed to be successful in our objectives. By following these laws and procedures, success becomes a natural consequence, aligned with our desires. The main message of this work is that personal success is not a gift of fate or dependent on external factors. Success is an internal and individualized construction that requires personal planning and execution. Every success is based on fundamental steps, without which success is not lasting. Someone can get rich by luck, but they are more likely to lose everything if they don't understand these fundamentals. On the other hand, someone who understands and applies these laws can rebuild their success even after losses. Personal fulfillment goes beyond possessing materials and is based on values such as emotional, mental and psychological well-being, personal fulfillment and individual growth. These developments cannot be guaranteed by luck, as they are the result of personal maturation. This work highlights the importance of internal transformation, emphasizing that personal reconfiguration is essential before seeking external success. This involves strengthening self-confidence, changing mindset and acquiring self-discipline. Therefore, each reader will find valuable information, practical strategies, and a logical approach to cultivating personal success. True success begins when you decide to rebuild yourself internally and direct your journey towards your goals. As you explore these fundamental laws, think of them as tools available to help you build a more meaningful and secure life. However, it is crucial to remember that the most important step is the firm decision to transform yourself internally, improve your quality of life and move towards your desired goals. Regardless of the knowledge acquired, personal decision is the determining step in the journey of personal guidance.

Book excerpt: This 1921 Pulitzer Prize awarded history has been written in response to a demand for some account of the generally very misunderstood German submarine campaign in the World War I and particularly of the means by which it was defeated. The interest of the public in such a story is due to the fact that during the war the sea forces were compelled to take all possible precautions to keep the enemy from learning anything about the various devices and means used to oppose or destroy the under-water craft. Contents: When Germany Was Winning the War The Return of the "Mayflower" The Adoption of the Convoy American Destroyers in Action Decoying Submarines to Destruction American College Boys and Subchasers The London Flagship Submarine Against Submarine The American Mine Barrage in the North Sea German Submarines Visit the American Coast Fighting Submarines from the Air The Navy Fighting on the Land Transporting Two Million American Soldiers to France

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An on-the-spot history of a fight in the Pacific during World War II, Island Victory was the first battle history written by then?Lieutenant Colonel S. L. A. Marshall, a veteran of World War I who would serve in Korea and Vietnam and become a brigadier general in the process. After the Seventh Infantry Division drove across Kwajalein Atoll in the first days of February 1944, successfully wresting control of the strategic southern tip from the Japanese, Marshall was charged with producing an accurate and comprehensive account of the fight. His solution: bring the front-line soldiers together at once and interview them as a group, tapping the collective memory of a platoon fresh from battle. ø In this book, readers get a rare, firsthand sense of all the emotions that soldiers in combat experience. Numerous maps and photographs help us visualize precisely what took place. A compelling work of military history, and the first book of its kind, Island Victory is itself an important chapter in the history of how military exploits are described and recorded.
