Desert Storm Marines

A Marine Tank Company at War in the Gulf

By: Jeff Dacus

From an historian and columnist in Leatherneck and Armor magazines, this is the exciting narrative account—based on interviews, first-person accounts, and official documents—of a group of Marine reservists during 1991’s Operation Desert Shield/Storm. In this war, thousands of reservists are called up for the first time since the Korean War. The Marines of Bravo Company, 4th Tank Battalion, are hastily trained and sent into action leading the effort to free Kuwait. Defeating the Iraqis in battle after battle, the Marines reach Kuwait City, accomplishing their objective. Only a few weeks later, they are back home at their former jobs. During their deployment they face enemy tanks, mines, and artillery as well as their own bureaucracy, petty jealousies, and one officer that fails to live up to his oath. Their superior officers make debatable decisions, and the men are often unsupported. In the end, they find the support they need, the leadership they lack, and a comradeship comparable to historic units like the Band of Brothers, the Old Breed, Knights Templar, and Washington’s Immortals.

The Fighting Corsairs

The Men of Marine Fighting Squadron 215 in the Pacific during WWII

By: Jeff Dacus

From an historian and columnist in Leatherneck and Armor magazines, this is the exciting, personal account of a Marine fighter squadron in the South Pacific during the critical days of 1943 when the tide turned against the Japanese. Based on individual interviews and wartime documents, this is a thrilling narrative of the Marines who lived, and died, during the toughest battles of the entire war. It looks at the war through the eyes of some of the greatest fighter pilots of all time, including Bob Hanson, the “Maharajah of Rabaul” and highest-scoring Corsair pilot in history.

Perceptions of Battle

George Washington’s Victory at Monmouth

By: Jeff Dacus

A new perspective on the Battle of Monmouth from the first-person accounts of those who took part in the battle. After spending a difficult winter at Valley Forge, George Washington led the Continental Army in pursuit of the British Army moving from Philadelphia to New York City. On June 28, 1778, the army caught up with the British and defeated them at Monmouth Court House. The principal figure in the battle is George Washington. His planning, his orders, and his actions on the battlefield dominate the story. After the first rebuff of his advance guard under Charles Lee, it is Washington who matched each movement of the enemy with decisive actions of his own. In doing so he attained a tactical victory on the battlefield that had major strategic implications. Because of his leadership, and the actions of his army, both he and the Continental Army gained renewed respect from Congress, the American people, and the enemy. Washington’s success solidified his position as the face of the Revolutionary effort. While the Congress was often ineffectual or even nonexistent, Washington and his army became the symbol of the Revolution. Modern authors have contributed greatly to our knowledge of the battle of Monmouth but in doing so have tried to interpret or analyze it through our modern point of view, losing sight of what happened, disregarding the perceptions, opinions, and conclusions of the people who took part in the battle and its aftermath. This book is different in that it uses only first-person accounts to reach conclusions or render judgments. In addition to changing the perceptions of the victory of the Continental Army, modern historians have distorted the story further through the court martial of Charles Lee in the aftermath of the battle, giving it undue importance.

They Said What?!

.......Again?

By: Jeff Necessary

Fasten your seatbelts as you take a hilarious and shocking journey through the minds of teenagers. Learn their views of history, geography, politics, and relationships among other things. Jeff Necessary places you front row and center for this amazing journey. You will laugh. You might cry. You might even wonder, how is this possible? The quotes in this book are hilarious. I hope nobody finds out which one is mine (Destiny Gorum, student). This is such a great book. It highlights a teenagers insight on the world through their eyes. This is a must-read, and you will not be able to put this book down. This book is just plain fun, coupled with high school students view of life. Training young minds is a tough job (Jessica Greene, guidance counselor, North Myrtle Beach High School). As a teacher, assistant principal, and principal for twenty plus years, I can easily relate to the student statements and questions contained in this book. Currently, as director of human resources, I can envision requiring all new teachers to read both the They Said What? books. Within these pages, Jeff Necessary provides a front row seat to the shocking reality of the modern classroom. Although these books will generate much laughter, I feel it imperative that new teachers know exactly what to expect when they enter their classrooms. Providing professional responses to the types of statements and questions in this book can sometimes be challenging. Thank you, Mr. Necesssary. I look forward to more books in the future (Jonathan D. Russ, director of human resources, Fredericksburg, Virginia, City Public Schools).
