Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.
The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.

World War II is sometimes thought of as primarily a fight against Nazi Germany, with the war in the Pacific as an after-thought. Fortunately, there is no shortage of worthwhile books about the Pacific War.
While aircraft carriers played a central role in the Pacific, the majority of Japanese ship losses came at the hands of US submarines. Clay Blair’s Silent Victory (J.B. Lippincott Co., 1975) is a comprehensive review of the role played by the “silent service.” Written with candor and verve, Blair details the accomplishments of individual submarines as well as the more controversial aspects of the undersea war – such as the faulty torpedoes that hampered the Americans early in the war.
