[Clay Blair served in combat on the submarine U.S.S. Guardfish during the Cold War, and is considered one of the best historians on the submarine to date, with critical acclaim spanning everyone from retired admirals to war heroes. The second volume of Hitler’s U-boat War was published posthumously; he died just after completing the book, in 1998.
Samuel Griffith’s translation of The Art of War is unparalleled. His translation uses the original text interspersed with (separated) commentary, and if he changes the text, he explains where and why, and what the original version was. He was a prominent historian on Chinese warfare, and was a Brigadier General in the U.S. Marine Corps, so he brings actual battlefield experience into the discussion, a rarity among military historians who are usually confined to chairs.]
