My Published Works

"A Mediterranean Cruiser Action," Report, Issue No. 93-3, November 1993 (Alnavco Distributors). I reproduced it on my original site [But DON'T click on it!] that once lived on this old site. (I had forgotten this wargame report existed. It was my first published item, so what the heck, I'll add this. The specific link is now dead although I keep it just in case the old site is revived. And I do still have my paper copy.)

And the Portuguese edition. [I don't know why the online version says I have a PhD. In the printed version, I am incorrectly credited with a PhD. A correction, at my request, appeared in the next issue and the online version was at one time corrected. To be clear, I should never be called Doctor Dunn. I have a MA. And I was distinguished graduate in my first MOS, of course.]

I also have at least 38 papers (these are the ones I have PDFs for) published on a variety of subjects while I was a research analyst at the Legislative Service Bureau. I should probably cite them here. Some pertain to military matters.

Just because I got the rights back, here's an essay that Proceedings bought in 2000 but never published: "The Dawn of the Network and the Twilight of the Aircraft Carrier."
