Haze Grey And Underway: A Memoir of U.S. Navy Surface Ship Operations in the Western Pacific Supporting The Vietnam War Land Campaign

I have generally taken it for granted that military histories are meticulously recorded in one form or another - naval operations citing deck logs screened for important tidbits of historical value supplemented by expert studies; interviews of important personages; and books and articles written by military academics or the participants themselves about this pivotal period in American military history. However, I was badly let down when I discovered that the naval operations and casualties involving smaller ships during the Vietnam War have been largely ignored. The paucity of recorded histories seemed inexcusable to me. It is a part of our military history that deserves attention because of the lessons that may be learned and the recognition of the courage of those involved regardless of whether the war was popular or not. These are my recollections of the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1975. Several historical accounts taken from open-source material are included to provide the context and background of these experiences and those of the other contributors cited during this historical naval war fighting. The main focal point of this book is the surface ship arm of the U.S. Navy, the so-called "small boys," and how they all played a part in the conduct and subsequent closing moments of the Vietnam War. BOOK REVIEW - Haze Grey and Underway: A Memoir of U.S. Navy Surface Operations in the Western Pacific Supporting the Vietnam War, 1965 to 1975 (Vol. 1) Reviewed by Charles H. Bogart Captain Kaye provides an excellent account on his service in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War in the first volume of his memoir. He states that the reason he wrote this self-published book is that almost all of the books and articles about the U.S. Navy's presence in the Vietnam War focus on naval aviation. However, the author contends that the naval air war was only made possible by the direct and indirect support of a variety of non-aviation combat and non-combat ships, the "small boys." Kaye notes with sadness that the U.S. Navy cannot agree on which small boys saw service in the Vietnam War, but can provide detail accounts of the employment of its carriers and attached air units. The author mixes within his autobiographical account of his Vietnam-era service official documents that amplify his story. Included within both books are some excellent photos that enhance and bring to life the story. The heart of the book concerns the author's service on board two ships, as Salvage Office on USS Lipan (ATF 85) and as Weapons Officer and temporary XO on USS Richard D. Anderson (DD 786). Kaye entered the U.S. Navy via Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island. Due to a shortage of officers onboard Lipan he qualified as OOD during his first bridge watch. Before reporting on board Anderson, the author received training to be the ship's Operation Officer, but with no background in gunnery, he was instead assigned to be the ship's Weapon Officer. The book is full of accounts about how dysfunctional the Navy became during the 1960s as it sought to fight an unpopular war with obsolete ships, 5-inch ammunition shortages, and a lower deck workforce pool that reflected all the racial turmoil that American society was then undergoing. His tale of a sailor armed with a loaded rifle holding the Captain of Lipan hostage and the Navy's response to this incident shows an institution that had lost its way. In contrast, his stories of Anderson on the gun line off of the coast of Vietnam tells the tale of American sailors giving their all to carry out the missions assigned to them. The author ends this book with an excellent list of YouTube videos showing U.S. Navy operations during the Vietnam War. This book is great. Hopefully, over the next few years, more surface sailors will follow in the footsteps of Captain Kaye and take the time to record in writing their experience in the U.S. Navy. Bogart is a frequent contributor to Naval History Book Reviews.

The authors offer thoughtful and practical information on how to find legitimate instructors, how to identify incorrect practices and how to recognize unhealthy environments. Issues encountered by youth in today's world, such as coping with bullying, fears related to the news of school shootings, special education needs and differentiated learning styles, ADHD, sensory issues, and how to be mindful of and stay safe from sexual predators are all discussed. The pressures in today's world are viewed and understood through the lens of historical trends, as the authors shine a light on parenting practices many baby boomers will find disturbingly familiar.

Martial means war-like but without compassion the warrior is incomplete. Therefore it is with compassion that you are applauded for your curiosity and encouraged to follow the thread of your inner passion. It will lead you home.

Unicorn Publishing Group

This is a biography lightened with the intimate tone of a social memoir, about a woman who was both a bystander and protagonist through some fifty years of twentieth-century British history. Pamela Berry was the daughter of the buccaneering and brilliant politician and lawyer, FE Smith, the first Earl of Birkenhead, and married the son of another self-made man, William Berry from South Wales, who became Viscount Camrose and the owner of a group of national newspapers, including the Daily Telegraph. She had an unusually glamorous and precocious childhood, spoiled by her adoring father, and much photographed by Cecil Beaton. In her prime she used her position as a newspaper proprietor’s wife to become the most famous political and press hostess of her generation, harnessing her beauty and wit to influence successive governments, and was accused of wielding ‘petticoat power’ during the Suez crisis. She had a decade-long affair with Malcolm Muggeridge, became a vigorous promoter of British fashion, dragging it out of the dowdy fifties, and in later life was active in the museum world. Harriet Cullen has opened a window back into the remarkable story of her mother’s life from a rich cache of family diaries and letters, interweaving them with many other unpublished sources. It is revealing, in turns scathing and admiring, but always entertaining.
