They struck at midnight or at dawn. Stealing silently beneath the darkened waters of Allied harbors in the Mediterranean, they moved swiftly, leaving in their wake the sunken hulls and twisted wreckage of dozens of British and American ships. They were the first of their breed, a small band of Italian Navymen who introduced a new concept of undersea warfare. They performed with such skill and ingenuity, claiming victory after victory, that Winston Churchill called an emergency session of Parliament to deal with the crisis.Using the words of the seagoing warriors themselves, as well as information drawn from the British and Italian Navy Archives, co-authors William Schofield and P.J. Carisella tell the Frogmen story as it has never been told, including their daring plan to attack New York Harbor on Christmas Eve 1943!

In tracing the history of Colonial Boston, Navy Captain William Schofield came up with the idea of establishing The Freedom Trail, which has become Boston’s most famous tourist attraction. The simple idea of laying down bricks on the sidewalks to connect the various monuments and sites with one another was Bill’s genial and practical solution that keeps on pleasing young and old alike, be they from Boston or California. American history in many ways began in Boston, and not all of it of the highest caliber. Over religious issues, the first woman was hanged and witches burned; in the same place, Samuel Adams created the Boston Massacre. Yet, Paul Revere took his famous ride; Harvard University got its charter; the USS Constitution continues to have harbor there; and, the Bunker Hill Monument together with the Athenaeum Library continue to be popular sites to everyone to visit. As an aside, the Constitution (Old Ironsides), which is an active commissioned vessel, by law has to make at least one sail per year into the harbor. And, for many years, Captain Schofield took the helm wherein he presented, to the special guests aboard, with the history of Boston contained in this book.

Mainly due to military secrecy, the story of the Italian frogmen has not been told to its fullest. Thanks to Bill Schofield and P. J. Carisella, this history has been rescued. The Italian frogmen invented the art of underwater warfare to a level of efficiency un-equaled in naval history. Suffice it to say at a particular point, those frogmen caused the shift of power away from the Allies and on behalf of the Germans. These frogmen, who acted as single units or in units of two or four, were able to sink military transport ships and battleships alike. In World War I, when their history began, they practically decimated Austria’s warships. In World War II, the Italian Navy created its secret Decima MAS—the Tenth Light Flotilla, with Prince Valerio Borghese one of its more effective commanders. These frogmen were a bane to the Allied navy, especially the English. “They struck at midnight. They struck at dawn. They blasted trails of destruction from Cadiz to Crete, from Alexandria to Gibraltar, leaving in their wake sunken hulls and twisted wreckage of dozens of ships, from battlewagons to submarines, from tankers to cruisers and battleships.”

Frogmen First Battles

Caso, Adolph

William Schofield presents a classic analysis of mental illness, of professional psychotherapists and their training, and of the elements of psychotherapy. He asserts the need for more rigorous selection of candidates for therapy and for a properly focused training of a new professional specialist: the psychotherapist. In his new introduction to this important critique, Schofield shows why his pleas for a rational training program are still appropriate. Psychotherapy is a pioneering critique of modern psychiatric practices. Far too many people see psychotherapy as a cure for every ill from tormenting self-doubt to lack of zest of life. Through failure to attend to careful assessment of the presenting problem, and the nature (and neglect) of the applicant's social resources, the psychotherapist can fall unwittingly into the role of moral counselor or morale coach, and can be seduced into the chronic role of "best friend." Schofield argues that today's overburdened experts—psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and psychiatric social workers—are not specifically trained to administer therapy through conversation. This book, first published in 1964, is an urgent call for a new specialist, a psychotherapist trained as a specialist in therapeutic conversation. This book is also a call for a more realistic public attitude toward mental disorder—one which distinguishes emotional illness from unhappiness and discontent. Everyone interested in the growth, clarification, and evaluation of psychotherapy and counseling will be challenged by Schofield's arguments.
