Clemens, Estate of Alexandra C
Alone on Guadalcanal: A Coastwatcher's Story Bluejacket Books
Naval Institute Press 2013-01-15. paperback. Very Good. 6x1x8. Minor shelf wear binding tight pages clean and unmarked. Handsome articulate and courageous the Scottish-born Cambridge-educated Clemens managed to survive years behind Japanese lines in one of the most unfriendly climates and terrains in the world. After many partisan and spy missions in 1942 he emerged from the jungle and integrated his Melanesian commando force into the heart of the 1st Marine Division's operations earning decorations and the unfettered admiration of now-legendary Marine officers like Vandegrift Thomas Twining Edson and Pate. His unique perspective fleshed out from detailed diary entries provides a revealing - not always flattering - portrait of the Solomons campaign and the Marines who directed it.

Previous owner's name in ink. Tanned pages. Edgewear to covers. ABOUT THIS BOOK: The coach waiting for us at the airport was driven by Richard. His only English words were 'no problem' but he was an excellent driver negotiating the sometimes tortuous French roads in his big white bus.On the first tour we kept noticing a small car that seemed to be following us. Day after day with the same attractive driver. Eventually the penny dropped. she was Richard's partner. She caught up with him each evening but didn't want to intrude. When we realised the situation we warmly welcomed Silvie into our group. For almost ten years Margaret Whitlam led a double life. Best known for her role as a much-loved public figure and 'National Treasure' Margaret also happens to be a tour leader extraordinaire. She has visited almost every corner of the globe taking with her hundreds of travellers on group study tours. This is Margaret's story of people and places she encountered in her 'other world' - travelling the Wine Road of Burgundy walking through the ancient city of Macchu Picchu sharing a meal with a friendly family in their Moscow home going to the opera in Vienna and a nightclub in Istanbul. It is brimming with anecdotes and observations and the odd travel tip a great place to eat in Dijon an experience to avoid on Lake Titicaca. Margaret's tours were so popular that some people travelled with her year after year. You will meet Betty for whom the world is magnifique Charles the 'Bairn from Nairn' Father Jim who is not always reverent lovely Mariana crossed-in-love. and many more. Margaret's gentle humour and infectious enthusiasm for faraway places make this a truly delightful way to journey around the world - all from the comfort of your favourite armchair.
