Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Medieval Europe was on a technological par with India and China, but within a century of the introduction of gunpowder Spanish ships had crossed the Atlantic. They discovered America. Galleons and galleys equipped with the first successful cannon came to dominate the seas. Some European countries became the first 'world powers'. John Guilmartin's beautifully written account explains how a country like Portugal was able to establish outposts from South America to India and the Pacific, how the Christian fleets wrested control of the Mediterranean from the Ottoman Empire and why King Philip's 'invincible armada' met with disaster during his attempt to invade England. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condition: New. On May 12, 1975, less than two weeks after the fall of Saigon, Khmer Rouge naval forces seized the S.S. Mayaguez , an American container ship, off the Cambodian coast in the Gulf of Siam. The swift military response ordered by President Gerald Ford was designed to recapture the Mayaguez , held at anchor off the island of Koh Tang, to liberate her crew, and to demonstrate U.S. strength and resolve in the immediate aftermath of America's most humiliating defeat. Guilmartin, a former air rescue helicopter pilot stationed in Thailand, provides a unique and compelling account of the Mayaguez-Koh Tang crisis, shedding new light on the politics, the tactics, the orders, the high-level decision makers, and the fighting men entangled in a crucial military action that nearly ended in disaster for U.S. forces. "". . . a brilliant and exceptionally clear tactical study that offers a point of departure for broader reflections on the nature of contingency and uncertainty in all military operations.""-- Foreign Affairs ""This is an exceptional book. . . [Guilmartin's] work transcends the events themselves, illustrating numerous aspects of men in war. His insights and observations are compelling.""-- Journal of Military History "". . . written with the flair and excitement of an adventure novel.
