Reviews
"The autobiography of distinguished naval historian and submariner Edward L. Beach Jr.'s father, gussied up for publication by the son, is a fine study of the old U.S. Navy. The elder Beach graduated from Annapolis in 1888, when the navy still had wooden ships in first-line service, and concluded his career presiding over the launching of the battleship California of Pearl Harbor fame. He had started as an engineering officer before line and engineering specialties were merged; at the Battle of Manila Bay, he saw little more than another officer's boots. He rose through the ranks with extensive sea and shore duty as well as a diplomatic role in establishing the U.S. protectorate over Haiti in 1915. He lost his favorite command, the armored cruiser Memphis , to a tidal wave off Santo Domingo, and ended seagoing commanding the battleship New York as part of the British Grand Fleet. Told with wit, compassion, and consideration for nonnaval readers, Beach's story, thoroughly fascinating for naval buffs, also adds well to the historiography of the U.S. in Haiti." -- Booklist, "This charming and insightful memoir is among the most vivid and enjoyable portraits of the early twentieth-century Navy ever written." -- Naval War College Review, "This charming and insightful memoir is among the most vivid and enjoyable portraits of the early twentieth-century Navy ever written."

Was sent the wrong item. I ordered a CD and I received an LP instead. Two different places on the description said that it was a used CD in good condition. When I emailed the seller about it I got a generic reply telling me that they would get to it when they can and that if I send a second message it will just delay the process. That is terrible customer service. If they have time to send me an email message at all then they have time to initiate a refund or to answer the question I asked.

The book arrived in a plastic envelope with not protection and unfortunately it looked like the book was damaged in transit because of it. The items original ETA was April 18th but arrived on April 22nd. I requested a refund after seeing the quality of the book and the seller responded with a full refund and an apology for the quality. I really appreciated the customer service but was sad to see the book not in the quality described.

Thank you so much for the quick response and delivery. I have not ordered from eBay in many years. You have renewed my trust that there are some professional sellers I can work with through eBay not just Amazon. Thanks again!☺️
