The dramatic story of General Douglas MacArthur's return to the Philippines and the nearly year-long bloody campaign to defeat over a quarter-million die-hard Japanese defenders of the multi-island archipelago

Packed with rich detail and analysis, this exciting tale of war at sea relates the dramatic and moving true story of the sinking of the British liner Laconia and its consequences for the conduct of marine warfare.

Duffy and Ricci have pulled together the known and hitherto unknown facts about the German resistance to create an absorbing tale. Although many Germans harbored deep hatred for the Nazis and risked their lives trying to topple the regime, most of these would-be assassins were forgotten or slighted in the history of that period.

This is a reprint of a previously published work. It presents a straightforward step-by-step guide to the ins and outs of personal bankruptcy.

Offering new insight into Hitler as a military leader, this provocative study provides a clear view of Hitler's strengths and weaknesses and looks at what might have happened had he not blundered so often at vital times during the war. Duffy begins with a look at Hitler's early victories in the Rhineland, Austria, and Czechoslovakia.

This work provides an account of a little-known facet of the German Navy of World War II - the fleet of nine warships that cruised the seven seas disguised as merchantmen, and sank or captured more than a million tons of allied shipping.

Praise for LINDBERGH vs. ROOSEVELT In the name calling that passes for how American history is taught these days, an authentic American hero, Charles Lindbergh, is too often dismissed as a Nazi sympathizer because of his opposition to President Roosevelt s war policy. Lindbergh s actual service as an anti Nazi spy is overlooked, as are his many contributions to the war effort, including his volunteer combat service in the Pacific. But as historian James Duffy points out in Lindbergh vs. Roosevelt, there s a lot more to the story than that; Lindbergh was the victim of a long standing smear campaign by a president desperate to silence one of his most prominent critics. In this excellent book, Duffy successfully restores the honor that properly belongs to Lindbergh and draws a more skeptical, and accurate, portrayal of Roosevelt. If you love reading twentieth century American history, you ll love this book. Thomas E. Woods Jr., author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History In Lindbergh vs. Roosevelt James Duffy ably describes the contrasting worldviews of Charles Lindbergh and Franklin Roosevelt. Duffy carefully and persuasively shows how FDR pushed the U.S. toward war and how Lindbergh warned against the entangling alliances that George Washington wanted Americans to avoid. Duffy shows how FDR prevailed in the war debate and how he smeared and undermined Lindbergh in the process. Duffy s book is an excellent contribution to the research on the disappointing character of FDR as president. Burton Folsom Jr., author of New Deal or Raw Deal?"

Duffy also recounts other Axis schemes to attack American cities through the use of multi-stage missiles, submarine launched rockets, and suicide missions against ships in the New York harbor.
