Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norfolk to Abadan and the Long Way Home: A Story of USS Soley (DD-707) 1956-1957, is the narrative of a destroyer during the Cold War Era. Detached from the Sixth Fleet and sent to the Middle East for a tour of duty with COMIDEASTFOR prior to the 1956 joint British/French invasion of Egypt, USS Soley in company with USS Barton made the transit of the Suez Canal and suddenly found their selves stranded east of Suez due to its war related closing. This unforeseen incident resulted in an unprecedented 15,000 mile voyage home which began in Abadan, Iran, and ended in their home port of Norfolk, Virginia, fifty-five days after being detached from the Middle East. Based on the personal journals and observations of the author, with excerpts provided by Captain Charles H. Witten USN, (Retired), Commanding Officer, USS Soley (DD-707), 1955-1957, from his Unpublished Autobiography, this is the story of life aboard a destroyer as experienced by a young seaman serving his enlistment who found himself in a rare position to see a large part of the world before its present day drastic changes took place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a plethora of hitherto unused and under-utilized sources from the Ottoman, British and Iranian archives, Ottoman-Iranian Borderlands traces seven decades of intermittent work by Russian, British, Ottoman and Iranian technical and diplomatic teams to turn an ill-defined and highly porous area into an internationally recognized boundary. By examining the process of boundary negotiation by the international commissioners and their interactions with the borderland peoples they encountered, the book tells the story of how the Muslim world's oldest borderland was transformed into a bordered land. It details how the borderland peoples, whose habitat straddled the frontier, responded to those processes as well as to the ideas and institutions that accompanied their implementation. It shows that the making of the boundary played a significant role in shaping Ottoman-Iranian relations and in the identity and citizenship choices of the borderland peoples.
