"Here are the details - frightening gory hilarious - the background and life of the President: How the Bush family made its money promoting Adolph Hitler and the Nazi war machine; Jupiter Island Skull and Bones and other bases of power; the 'war hero' story; George Bush and the secret government - from population control to Zapata's Watergate burglars to Iran-Contra; Kissinger China and genocide in the Third World; Bush's Leveraged Buyout Mob or the theft of a nation. Breaks the code of silence which Anglo-American financial oligarchs have imposed around their conduct of U.S. Affairs. A vivid x-ray of the private forces dominating both Republican and Democratic parties - and of the man who occupies the highest seat of power in the nation." - from back cover. Light wear.

Author's signature and inscription to Jim Munro of Munro's Books Victoria upon front flyleaf. The graphic recollections of a Japanese prisoner of war during World War II. "Richard Sewell writes very well the major publishing houses to which he sent the manuscript said so but they were very sorry to have to say 'no' and pass it by - 'because it might possibly offend the Japanese who are now after all our business friends and allies. Tackles squarely the question of why and how such systematic deliberate and intense cruelty was endemic in the Japanes treatment of prisoners of war. While the author dissects the nature of human cruelty at the same time he also shows us the other side of the coin - the remarkable care and love people show to each other in the worst of all possible conditions. That is why this is an uplifting story one not just of survival but of the triumph of goodness." - from Foreward by Bishop Robert C. Crawley SSC. Clean and bright with minimal wear. Excellent copy. Self-Published (Van Coillie, Dries) Paperback
