Johnny has four different uniforms that were worn by Confederate soldiers and officers for various states — plus the weapons used by the army; and the gear the men needed for eating; drinking; and sleeping outdoors.Remove the stickers and put them on the doll on the inside back cover. The stickers can be used many times. Just put them back in their places on the pages after you use them; so they will be ready next time.

DeRose is an excellent overview of U.S. submarine operations against the Japanese in the Pacific during World War II. While the book is not intended to convey the depth of detail of Clay Blair's epic "Silent Victory;" it provides a first-rate and highly readable examination of the three major problems faced by the United States in executing "unrestricted submarine warfare" against the Japanese after the Dec. 7; 1941 surprise attack on Pearl Harbor: Faulty doctrine; faulty skippers; and faulty torpedoes. The Navy; once it realized the magnitude of the problem; moved fairly quickly to solve the faulty skippers problem; replacing cautious; older; largely peacetime-trained skippers with more aggressive younger men who hadn't been molded by a pre-war performance system that punished captains whose submarines were detected during fleet exercises. These younger skippers crafted and cobbled together their own; more successful doctrine; often on the fly; as the war progressed. The torpedo problem was another matter and was met with incredible bureaucratic intransigence from desk-bound officials safely back in the U.S. It was never fully solved during the war and was only partially rectified by December 1943 - two full years into the conflict - and only then by stop-gap measures undertaken by the fighting forces themselves. (It is known from survivor testimony that two U.S. subs; the Tang and the Tullibee; were sunk by their own circular-running torpedoes and a recent analysis of wreckage photos from a third boat; the USS Grunion; strongly suggest a third. The loss of the Grunion; possibly to its own torpedoes; is not covered in "Unrestricted Warfare" since the wreck was not discovered until well-after publication of the book). "Unrestricted Warfare" provides an excellent insight into the undersea warriors who suffered the highest casualty rate of any branch of the American armed forces in World War II and are still largely under-recognized by history.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The New BreedBy Dominic R.Both of my sons are submariners in the U.S. Navy. I was happy to provide this book to them both.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A great book for those looking for a limited exposure to the Pacific Submarine war.By BradfordThis book was well written and researched. It is written in a very easy to read and enjoyable style.My only gripe about this book is its' limited scope. The title implies that you will learn about many of the submarine commanders in WWII; but in reality you really only hear of the exploits of a few submarines and their men. If you are a fan of WAHOO;TANG; Mush Morton or Dick O'Kane (which I am) you will enjoy this book. As a matter of fact it probably does a better job than any other book I've seen at covering the controversial treatment of the troop ship incident on WAHOOs' third patrol the end of Wahoos' illustrious career. If however you are looking for a book that covers more than 3-4 WWII commanders and their exploits then this is not the book for you.Overall an entertaining book; but again be aware that if you are looking for a book that covers several submarines and\or their commanders their are better choices out there.
