I’m putting this into a post by itself because the original has scrolled off the front page.
I mentioned earlier that someone should do a full length biography of the late General Robin Olds; John Darrell Sherwood was kind enough to comment on that post and observe that Gen. Olds’ memoirs will be published in April of this year.
This is great news; I’ve pre-ordered a copy.
(And I’d like to add, for the record, that the rest of Sherwood’s Fast Movers is just as good as the first chapter. I’ll be looking for more of Sherwood’s books.)
Thanks for the kind words. I published a book on racial unrest in the fleet during the Vietnam War, entitled _Black Sailor, White Navy_ in 2007, and am currently at work on a history of Navy Coastal and Riverine operations during the the Vietnam War. I enjoy your blog!
Thanks for the kind words. I am currently at work on a history of U.S. Navy riverine and coastal operations in Vietnam. With luck, it should come out in 2011.
