Item description from seller

xi, [1], 385, [3] pages. Map. Preface by Rear Admiral James Calvert. Pencil erasure residue on half-title. Cover has some wear and soiling. The version contains the following statement: "This edition is intended for use by midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy and may not be otherwise sold or distributed to the public." The literature of the sea and of the profession of arms encompasses thousands of volumes reaching back to the beginning of civilization and extending up to this week's best seller list. To try to extract and contain within one volume a representative selection is a task of impossible proportions. Yet the editor of this anthology has made an attempt for a special vantage point, since the readers for the most part will be Plebes at the United States Naval Academy. Among the authors represented are: Francis Chichester, Bruce Catton, John Hersey, James Calvert, Eisenhower, Viscount Slim, Barbara Tuchman, Bernard Fall, Robert Heinl, Daniel Gallery, Douglas MacArthur, Fletcher Pratt, Edward Beach, Ernest King, Douglas Southall Freeman, Herman Wouk, and Samuel Eliot Morison. …
