SHEPPARD OF ARGONNE: ALTERNATIVE HISTORY NAVAL BATTLES OF WWII

摘要

I was given SHEPPARD OF ARGONNE. and was greatly relieved to discover almost immediately that it was not a story about a French goat-herder. In fact, I know G. William Weatherly-the real G. William behind the nom de plume. He's a retired submariner, and a good one at that. No stranger to the rewards and burdens of command at sea, G. William also not only taught submarine wardrooms the arts and sciences of fighting their ships as the Director of Advanced Tactical Training at Submarine School, but also helped develop the supporting tactical doctrine at Submarine Development Squadron 12 and was involved at the global strategic level of naval power in a tour at the Naval War College. I have had the opportunity of watching G.William in action, and he is one of the kind of officers that enlisted submariners hope they always serve under, and that submarine junior officers hope they will someday be like. Above all, he was one who clearly was having fun in his assignments-an indispensible leadership trait.
