Nice collection of books available.

http://www.history.navy.mil/research/publications/recent-publications.html

I went and checked out a few of them online. 
War in the Shallows: U.S. Navy Coastal and Riverine Warfare in Vietnam, 1965–1968, by John Darrell  is on the site as a free PDF download.  Amazon has it listed as a hardcover book for $99.99!

http://www.amazon.com/War-Shallows-Coastal-Riverine-1965-1968/dp/0945274769/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8


Online they have listed some highly rated books without a download version.  For example:
Black Sailor, White Navy: Racial Unrest in the Fleet during the Vietnam War Era, by John Darrell Sherwood, New York: New York University Press, 2007. ISBN 978-0-814740-36-1.


All in all a great site.  Thanks for the link.

That there is what I call a worthwhile post.  I have thousands of books on my book drive, many military PDFs such as the complete Osprey collection (yes, every book they ever published) as well as many, many others in epub/pdf.  Very happy to see that there are several here I don't have, and am adding right now to my collection.  Some fantastic material here that isn't all the easy to find online, or for free.

Many thanks ROC.
