- Johnson, Robert Erwin. GUARDIANS OF THE SEA – History of the United States Coast Guard 1915 to the Present. Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD. 1987. 412p. DJ. A thoroughly researched and documented history of this vital Service. In this comprehensive history, Mr. Johnson takes a dual approach; Professor Johnson offers an operational history that describes the Coast Guard’s active participation in the world wars and the actively expanding peacetime mission. He also provides an organizational history that focuses on the service’s evolution from the times of the Revenue Cutter Service to the present. From sensational tales of search-and-rescue to technical explanations of cutter design, Prof. Johnson tells the story with skill and understanding. Wonderfully illustrated with photographs. Light shelf wear. (M). $39.95. Closeout $24.
