Could World War II have ended differently—less catastrophically for Japan? Did the Japanese Imperial Navy possess the technological potential to devise weapon systems capable of holding the United States Navy and Army Air force at arms length for an additional six months? And could peace forces inside and outside of Japan’s military and governmental agencies have used such additional time to gain the upper hand over its nation’s hardliners, allowing Japan to submit to unconditional surrender prior to suffering total devastation? An alternative history, Seatanks initially unfolds upon a backdrop of factual history. The story commences with Admiral Yamamoto—a man who strenuously opposed those pushing Japan toward war with the West, yet when war became inevitable it was he who was the driving force behind the Pearl Harbor attack—being introduced to a young naval officer and his ideas for a revolutionary weapons system. All but one of the book’s characters are real men of history. As the novel’s central plot unfolds their actions become increasingly fictionalized. By the time the story reaches its conclusion, the great mid-Twentieth Century war between Japan and the United States has been significantly altered.

Little Mac

Demise of an American Hero

By: James M. Ridgway Jr.

Here the author tells the intriguing story of the controversial Union general of the American Civil War, George B. McClellan (affectionately know to the men who fought under him as Little Mac). It is a blistering refutation of the radical Republican inspired history of the general as carried into the Twenty First Century by revisionist historians. The book reveals how and why so many politicians, historians, and writers over the years have found it both convenient and necessary to undermine and belittle the accomplishments of this great American patriot. In general the book supports and expands the positive view of McClellan as expressed by Warren W. Hassler in his 1957 book, General George B. McClellan: Shield of the Union. Conversely, it disputes many of the negative conclusions of the general as offered by Stephen W. Sears in his 1988 book, George B. McClellan: The Young Napoleon, as well as other works that Sears has written of the general. It is all here: McClellans formative years; his Mexican War experience; the love of his life; the breakup of friendships; his relationship with Lincoln; the back-stabbing of his political enemies led by the conniving secretary of war, Edwin McMasters Stanton; his strategies; his battlefield opponents; and of course the bloody battles themselves. For those conditioned to viewing George McClellan in a stereotypically negative way, the book will be something of a shock. Conversely, for those who see beyond the historical smear of the general, the book will be a pure delight.
