His more recent books include SEAPOWER (with Ian Westwell by Chartwell Books, 2004), DEFCON-2 (with Norman Polmar by John Wiley & Sons, 2006), BEYOND HELL AND BACK (with Dwight Jon Zimmerman by St. Martin’s Griffon, 2008) and the award-winning UNCOMMON VALOR (also with Dwight Jon Zimmerman and St. Martin’s Press, 2010). He also is the award-winning co-designer of SUPERMARINA I and SUPERMARINA II (Clash of Arms Games, 1996 and 1997), a naval wargame based upon Larry Bond’s award winning COMMAND AT SEA game system.
