Hard Aground: The Wreck of the USS Tennessee and the Rise of the US Navy
“Through meticulous research and gifted storytelling, Captain Andy Jampoler, U.S. Navy (Ret.) brilliantly weaves the ship’s plotline together with a fascinating period of U.S. Navy and broader American history that is little known, even among naval officers… I was awed by Captain Jampoler’s ability to tell Memphis’s story.”
—Captain Bill Hamblet, US Navy (retired) Editor-in-Chief, U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings
Learning from Birmingham
A Journey into History and Home
“Having long educated students and teachers about the “modern” Civil Rights Movement in the US, Julie Buckner Armstrong takes herself ‘back to school’ in Learning from Birmingham. She returns to this iconic city of her birth to trace her family’s history in order to tell a larger story about the history of her hometown, complete with an unflinching view of its legendary violence, resilient racism, and the elusive redemption it seems determined to find.”
—Deborah E. McDowell, Alice Griffin Professor of English at the University of Virginia
