He served in WWII on cruisers before entering flight training. In Korea he served as CO of VF153 earning a Distinguished Flying Cross. He flew in more than 60 types of aircraft in his career.

In 1960 there were some 3500 strategic nuclear weapons in the United States and by the mid-1970s there were more than 10000. This book written by a member of the U.S. nuclear weapons force gives an account of that buildup and the efforts taken to keep the stockpile under control. Jerry Miller highlights the strategies targeting and attack plans and arms control measures associated with the bomb. He addresses the role of the military in establishing requirements and the role of the scientists in meeting those requirements and identifies the weapons' strengths and weaknesses and their significance for the future. A final chapter reviews threat scenarios and suggests actions to bring the nuclear force into line. Naval Institute Press hardcover

John Miller Jr. was a Scottish born naturalized U.S. citizen who earned his Ph.D. in History from the University of Iowa in 1942. In World War II he saw service overseas with the U.S. Marine Corps including service in the Solomon Islands where he participated in the Bougainville operations. He became a member of the historical staff of the Department of the Army in 1945. He wrote and co-wrote official history volumes other historical monographs and numerous articles. He also taught at the University and graduate level as several academic institutions.<br /> <br /> Guadalcanal: The First Offensive is a tactical history of ground operations involved in seizing and holding the heavily jungled island of Guadalcanal in the British Solomon Islands. It covers the campaign from the initial invasion on 7 August 1942 to 21 February 1943 when the area including the Russell Islands was finally secured.<br /> <br /> "The successes of the South Pacific Force" wrote Admiral Halsey in 1944 "were not the achievements of separate services or individuals but the result of whole-hearted subordination of self-interest by all in order that one successful 'fighting team' could be created." The history of any South Pacific campaign must deal with this "fighting team" with all United States and Allied services. The victory on Guadalcanal can be understood only by an appreciation of the contribution of each service. No one service won the battle. The most decisive engagement of the campaign was the air and naval Battle of Guadalcanal in mid-November 1942 an engagement in which neither Army nor Marine Corps ground troops took any direct part.<br /> <br /> This volume attempts to show the contribution of all services to the first victory on the long road to Tokyo. It does not describe all ground air and naval operations in detail but it does attempt by summary when necessary to show the relationship between air ground and surface forces in modern warfare.<br /> <br /> Guadalcanal: The First Offensive rests upon somewhat different sources from most other volumes in the Pacific series of U. S. ARMY IN WORLD WAR II. The War Department's historical program had not yet been established in August 1942 when the Solomon Islands were invaded by the Allies. No historians accompanied the Marine or Army divisions to Guadalcanal with the mission of preparing thorough and detailed histories of the campaign. The interviews of whole companies and critiques of actions that were conducted by Army and Marine historians in later campaigns were never conducted on Guadalcanal. Interviews with individual officers and men were conducted by theater and War Department historians long after the fighting was over but by that time memory was none too fresh. As a result it has not been possible to analyze the actions of small units on Guadalcanal as completely as in other volumes in the Pacific series. U.S. Government Printing Office hardcover
