Maritime List 310 – Memorial Day

I’m out of clever things to say about this list, or about anything else right now, as the obscenity of  “Uvalde” worms its way into the American psyche.

Did our soldiers, sailors, and airmen sacrifice their lives for the 2nd Amendment “freedom” that has allowed an 18-year-old to slaughter children with a military-grade firearm? Is this, as Bill O’Reilly has it, the “price of that freedom?”

If you’re as disgusted as I am right now about the vile condition of American politics, maybe Maritime List 310 will help distract you.

If you wish to order any of the books herein, the best way to do so is to send a quick email to tenpound@tenpound.com and tell us the item number(s) you wish to purchase. We’ll get back to you ASAP regarding availability.
