Unrestricted Warfare

Hunt and Kill: U-505 and the U-boat war in the Atlantic

Started:

Silent Running by James F. Calvert Looks to be a great book.

The Groundwork of Practical Naval Gunnery: A Study of the Principles and Practice of Gunnery, and of the Computation and Use of Ballistic and Range Tables

by James Monroe Ingalls and Philip Rounseville Alger

I got these from Amazon. This is a public domain reprint by Nabu. I have a long standing interest in the subject matter, and I was very excited to get this, BUT, the print is hard to read and the subscripts in the equations are too small to make out. What is worse, is that many pages are missing. I am going to try and get a copy from another source. Otherwise, I guess I will have to make do.

Anyone ordering Nabu books be forwarned: this seems to be a common complaint. These books are printed from scans made from library copies and quality is uneven.
