Guns Up!
New York, N.Y. Ballantine Books, 1991. Later Printing. Mass market paperback. [6], 357, [5] pages. Some light page browning. Guns Up! was the call that sent Marine Johnnie Clark and his buddy, Chan, racing to the hottest spot in a firefight with their M60 Machine gun. The life expectancy of a machine gunner in combat in Vietnam was said to be seven-and-a-half seconds after a firefight begins. Three things got Johnnie and Chan through months of deadly warfare--alive. The first was dumb luck. The second was the teaching of a big Marine called Red. The third was a faith in something bigger than men--or war. Johnnie M. Clark is a disabled veteran. After joining the Marine Corps at age seventeen, he served as a machine gunner with the famous 5th Marine Regiment in 1968 and was wounded three times. He was awarded the Silver Star for bravery. While recuperating in Okinawa, Mr. Clark studied karate as part of his rehabilitation program, and after his discharge, he taught martial arts at the University of South Florida. He is now a 6th Dan Master of tae kwan do and operates a tae kwan do school in St. Petersburg. Clark is also the author of Semper Fidelis, The Old Corps, No Better Way to Die, and Harlot’s Cup. He is the recipient of the Brig. Gen. Robert L. Denig Memorial Distinguished Service Award for writing. Mr. Clark has been awarded America’s 3rd highest medal for bravery and gallantry in combat, The Silver Star, 3 Purple Hearts, Vietnam’s highest Medal of Honor, The Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm, The Civil Action Combat Medal, The Marine Combat Ribbon among other decorations.

The Missing Man; Politics and the MIA
Washington, D.C. National Defense University, Research Directorate, 1979. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. xii, 121, [3] pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Endnotes. Tables. Figure. Includes an introduction about the author, a Foreword, a Preface; as well as chapters on The Arithmetic of War; The Status Determination Process; Domestic Developments, Paris, January 1973--and Its Aftermath; The Ford Administration--An Interim; President Carter and the MIA Issue, and Conclusions. Also contains Abbreviations Used in the Text and Bibliography. The Vietnam war, although a limited one for the United States, approached a total war for the Vietnamese. Suffering and losses were undoubtedly widespread throughout that country. The blame for these adversities has been placed on America, and particularly on the aviators who were the instruments of much o f this misfortune--among them the missing men. It would seem highly optimistic to think that the Vietnamese, motivate by compassion, would make an extraordinary effort to ease the anguish of even 2,500 American families. Whether there will ever be an adequate accounting of the men missing in southeast Asia is extremely doubtful. There never was one in any previous conflict. The Government did the families--and therefore the lost men--a tragic disservice by encouraging the belief that there would be such an accounting in this war. More

Supreme Command; Soldiers, Statesmen, and Leadership in Wartime
New York, NY: The Free Press, 2002. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xiv, 288, [2] pages. Inscribed and dated by the author on the front free endpaper. Inscription reads: Washington, DC, 13 June 2002. To Chuck Lane, With every best wish--Eliot A. Cohen. The book includes Preface, Acknowledgments, Notes, and Index. Chapters include The Soldier and the Statesman, Lincoln Sends a Letter, Clemenceau Pays a Visit, Churchill Asks a Question, Ben-Gurion Holds a Seminar, Leadership without Genius; The Unequal Dialogue, and an appendix on The Theory of Civilian Control. Eliot Asher Cohen (born April 3, 1956 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American political scientist. He was a counselor in the United States Department of State under Condoleezza Rice from 2007 to 2009. In 2019, Cohen was named the 9th Dean of the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University, succeeding the former dean, Vali Nasr. Before his time as dean, he directed the Strategic Studies Program at SAIS. Cohen "is one of the few teachers in the American academy to treat military history as a serious field", according to international law scholar Ruth Wedgwood. Cohen is a contributing writer at The Atlantic. In this book, Eliot Cohen examines four great democratic war statesmen--Abraham Lincoln, Georges Clemenceau, Winston Churchill, and David Ben-Gurion--to reveal the surprising answer to the question of who should run the show, especially in times of war: the politicians. The generals may think they know how to win, but the statesmen are the ones who see the big picture. More
