Inspired by some discussion in the Discord, I'm going to try something new, a book club readthrough of Samuel Eliot Morison's The Two-Ocean War, his single-volume history of the USN in WWII. It's a condensed version of his 14-volume History of US Naval Operations in WWII, an excellent work that is probably a bit too long for most people. Now, because even the "short" version is nearly 600 pages, I'm going to set the schedule of one chapter per week, which should average around 30 pages. I'll put up a discussion post each Wednesday with my thoughts (although I am going to do my best not to do very much research outside of reading the book) and everyone is free to comment. The first post, on Chapter 1, The Twenty Years' Peace, will go up on February 4th, a week from today. If you're interested, you can get the book here (Amazon affiliate link) and we'll see how this goes.
