Jim Smith

Globe Pequot, 2007

Easy to read, good hard facts
The first time I even casually flipped through the book I was pulled in by good hard practical business advice. I was fascinated because it broke my delusion about what having a business would be like and presented me with real world issues I would face. Given today's competition of automated web building tools and the power of blogs and social sites for the little guys, I don't see web design ...

Pearl Harbor 1941: The Day of Infamy - Revised Edition (Campaign)4 reviews
Carl Smith

Osprey Publishing, 2001

Pearl Harbor 1941
An excellent review for the novice as well as the reader well read about the Pearl Harbor attack. Maps and diagrams reveal the placement of each aircraft and ship. This book also does a good job about detailing how severe this battle hurt the US military. Shocking to realize how little strength the US had in the Pacific on Dec. 8, 1941. Highly recommended.
