(Fiction, Erotica, Poetry)., Four Square 1545, Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, 2014. Hardcover. As New/new. Commander Todd Ingram, commanding officer of the destroyer, USS Maxwell (DD-525) met Soviet Navy officer Eduard Dezhnev in 1942 when the starshiy leytenant (senior lieutenant) was Naval Attaché to the Soviet Consulate in San Francisco. They became close friends, or so Ingram thought, until he discovered Dezhnev was a spy and had directly contributed to his capture by the Japanese in the Philippines while attempting to rescue his wife to-be, Helen. Later that year, Ingram escaped the Philippines with Helen, and returned to San Francisco, and had Dezhnev expelled from the United States, persona non grata.Ingram had put all that out of his mind, when on the last day of the war, the Maxwell suffers a hit from a Kamikaze attack off Okinawa. She puts into Karama Rhetto, a small archipelago off Okinawa, for repairs. News of the war's end comes the next day and Ingram expects to go home with the others on operation Magic Carpet. Instead, an Army buddy from his days on Corregidor comes after him. He is Brigadier General Otis Dewitt, now intelligence aid on General Douglas MacArthur's staff. In concert with the State Department, DeWitt has temporary orders drawn for Ingram to accompany him to Manila on the same plane as sixteen Japanese senior military and civilian diplomats. Over a swift two days, they negotiate with General MacArthur's staff, the terms for the instrument of surrender, soon to be signed in Tokyo Bay. DeWitt Promises Ingram that he will attend that ceremony.But DeWitt and the State Department have an ulterior motive. After Manila, they send Ingram on to Sakhalin Island to learn what can be done to defuse a Soviet attack on Hokkaido. Why me, asks Ingram? He groans when DeWitt tells him Edward Dezhnev is now a Captain Third Rank in the Soviet Navy. Moreover, Dezhnev is a brigade commander on Sakhalin and is responsible for laying siege to a Japanese holdout in Toro, a natural jumping off place for an attack on Hokkaido.Ingram and Dezhnev were once friends. Maybe it can happen again, Dewitt explains. At the very least, Ingram might be able to gather intelligence on the Soviet's plans to attack Hokkaido. There is something else, DeWitt explains. Walter Boring, a Red Cross representative on the run from Harbin, China, has two crates of overwhelming photographic evidence of Japan's experiments on live human beings; experiments far worse than anything in Nazi Germany. Ingram is expected to return with those crates. But how can he when Boring is being protected by the Japanese garrison in Toro where Dezhnev and his brigade stand ready to overpower them at any moment? Thus Ingram's "friendship" with Dezhnev may be a key factor in securing Boring's release along with his crates. As his shipmates relax and prepare for their return to loved ones, Ingram must go the other way. Three weeks ago he was fighting the Japanese and the Soviets were supposed to be his friends. Now, he doesn't know who to trust., Naval Institute Press, 2014, Toronto: Macfarlane Walter & Ross. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. 1551990490 . Tight unmarked book in crisp dust jacket. ; 244 pages; <b>Winner of the 2002 Canada-Japan Literary Award<br></b><br><br>To grow up in Beijing in the 1930s was to become engulfed in the colossal struggle between ideologies, and between nations, that shaped modern China. <br><br>Born into privilege, separated from the filthy chaos of the city by servants and limousines and the stone walls of the Legation Quarter, Michael David Kwan felt his pampered life disintegrate as the Japanese overran China in 1938 and the world moved closer to war. Gradually, inexorably, the family was drawn into the maelstrom. <br><br>Kwan’s father, a wealthy railway administrator, became active in the resistance against the Japanese. Chiang Kai-Shek’s nationalists and Mao Tse Tung’s emerging communists were united against the invaders, but Kwan’s father knew it wouldn’t always be so. He had to protect his interests, his family, and his future any way he could. <br><br>In Beijing, the Kwan household became a gathering place for high-level resistance members. At their summer villa in Baidahe, the family surreptitiously aided the guerrillas in the nearby mountains. In Qingdao, the Kwans lived next door to a Japanese admiral and his wife. <br><br>From his treehouse overlooking their garden, little David innocently befriended the Japanese couple while his father, now Commissioner of Finance in the pro-Japanese government, secretly worked for the resistance, even sheltering a wounded U.S. airman. Disclosure would have meant summary execution for the entire household. <br><br>After the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Japan’s surrender, the family’s problems were exacerbated. David’s father, now imprisoned, had to prove he was not a collaborator but rather a leader of the resistance. China moved toward chaos as the nationalists and the communists vied for power. David, at age 12, was sent to relatives in Shanghai before being spirited out of the country, not knowing if he’d ever see his family again. <br><br><i>Things That Must Not Be Forgotten</i> balances the sweet epiphanies of childhood against the grim machinations of war, self-preservation against brutal authority, love of family against love of country. It is a book that will resonate in readers’ minds long after they have turned the final, wrenching page. ., Macfarlane Walter & Ross, 2000, CDROM. New. 292 pages. This history was begun by Mr. Thomas and completed by his son after his death. It was first published in 1897. From the Introduction: The author of this volume of local history died before its completion, under circumstances touching and significant. On Saturday August 1st, 1896, he attended the annual reunion of the Confederate veterans of Marlboro at Tatum, where he delivered to the assembly of veterans and citizens a feeling and" eloquent address. On the Sabbath following, he preached in the forenoon at McColl, and in the afternoon at Tatum, with his usual fervency and zeal. Returning home, he ate his supper, held family prayers, retired to his couch, and fell calmly into that sleep which knows no waking. For several years he had devoted his leisure moments to writing the history of Marlboro, but before finishing it for the press was called to his home above. His son has prepared this volume for the press, and now presents it to the people the author loved so dearly, and to whose temporal and spiritual welfare he devoted a half century of his laborious life. In gathering the material for this history, he omitted no source of information available, but sought aid from all records and all classes of the community. It was the aim of Capt. Thomas, in writing this history, to make it so full in the matters of tradition and genealogy as to leave no room for complaint, but in spite of his zeal, industrious inquiry and research, he was unable to procure from some families, facts and data, whilst some others were unable to give information sought, having preserved no family records, and having no traditions stored up in memory.

'[P]ulls readers back into the JFK assassination mess, but even those most opposed to yet another airing of that topic will quickly surrender to the pull of Mailer's compelling account. Mailer spent 6 months in Minsk, Russia, investigating the more than 2 years Oswald spent in that city after he decided in 1959 to forsake the U.S. and become a Soviet citizen. Mailer reveals the KGB's unease with Oswald. Was he a spy? That question compelled them to follow his movements the entire time he resided in the Soviet Union. With a Russian wife in tow, Oswald returned to the U.S. but remained critical of his homeland. With a novelist's interest in motivation and an eye for telling and colorful detail, Mailer follows Oswald to Dallas, where he addresses the eternal JFK assassination question: Did Oswald work alone or as a part of a conspiracy? While Mailer weighs in on the side of the lone-gunman theory, the real thrust of his magnificent book is the insight we gain into a complex man. Simply put, we understand Oswald more now than we ever did before.'--Earle Wharren, Booklist. [code J], Milsons Point: Random House. Very Good. 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. 0091833949 . X, 442 pages, photographic illustrations, Fine copy in dustjacket. Swinging out on a rope over the Hawkesbury River, sports-loving journalist Kevin Hitchcock didn't have a care in the world. He and his wife and two children were enjoying their summer holidays with the latest addition to their family, five-week-old Kirralyn. Then Kevin hit the water, then the sandy river bottom, then. Silence. Hours later he is told he will never be able to move again. The story of Kevin's refusal to give in to the doctors' grim diagnosis or to surrender to the depression that threatened to defeat him is truly extraordinary. Walk With Me is his journey of survival, of triumph over unbelievable odds. It is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit that will inspire and uplift all who read it. ; 240 x 160mm ., Random House, 1998, London UK: Simon & Schuster, 2001 - "a radical and controversial approach to relationships...it teaches women how to respect the man you married...take care or yourself...give him space...trust your man ..." - 285 pg..
