Amazon review for “All along the Watchtower”

“My dad received a purple heart for injuries during the second kamikaze attack on the Cassin Young. He would never discuss his time aboard this ship or anything about the war. He died in 2003, taking all his stories with him. I was thrilled to find this book telling what his life was like aboard this ship for 3 years during WWII. Even though so much of it brought me to tears, the information and stories here helped me to a better understanding of who my dad was and brought me a new respect for this father who was rarely there.”

Amazon review of USS Cassin Young

 “A History of the Boston Braves” is a very pleasant tale of, as the cover states, “a time gone by”. – Amazon review of “Boston Btaves”

“This brought back lots,of memories from the times we lived there,and also I enjoyed reading about the history of the fort.Its too bad they decommissioned it” – Amazon review of “Fort Devens”

I recently read Fort Devens and wanted to share my appreciation for the clarity and depth of your research. Tracing the site’s military history from the seventeenth century through every major twentieth-century conflict gives the book both scope and coherence, and it fills an important gap in documented U.S. military history.

What stood out most is how you connect the physical place to the people and institutions shaped by it, from the massive mobilizations of the World Wars to individuals who went on to influence politics, culture, and even space exploration. The result is a grounded, informative history that will resonate with military historians, educators, and readers interested in how geography and service intersect over time.
