Alexander, Joseph H
Edson's Raiders : The 1st Marine Raider Battalion in World War II
Annapolis MD U.S.A.: Naval Institute Press 2000. 368 Pages - 34 Photos - 11 Line Art Drawings - 58 Illustrations.This is the story of the remarkable men of 1st Marine Raider Battalion known by the name of its founding commander the legendary jungle fighter Merritt A. "Red Mike" Edson. Edson's Raiders provided the vanguard of a U.S. Marine Corps experiment with special lightly-armed mobile "commando" units in the Pacific. From 1942 to 1943 these highly trained volunteers fought seven critical battles in the Solomon Islands--with names like Tulagi Tasimboko the Matanikau River and the Dragon's Peninsula. They were desperate bloody affairs fought against some of the most experienced jungle fighters in the Japanese empire. Twenty-four Raiders fought with such valor that they had ships named in their honor all but one posthumously. Joseph Alexander provides an abundance of first-person accounts from Edson to such hard-nosed NCOs as Angus Goss Walter Burak and Anthony Palonis. His portrayal of the Raiders' defense of Guadalcanal's Henderson Field along an elevation known ever since as Edson's Ridge shows why that three-day conflict became an indisputable touchstone of Marine Corps history. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Naval Institute Press hardcover

Solzhenitsyn, Aleksandr
August 1914
London: Bodley Head 1972. 645pp w/ fold-out color Tannenburg map in rear. First UK edition - third impression. "This is the work which Solzhenitsyn has described as having long been "the chief artistic design of my life." AUGUST 1914 is the first of a series of interlinked novels whose grand theme is the growing pains of modern Russia. Its first publication is a literary event of world-wide importance. In August 1914 the Russian army ill-equipped though greatly superior in numbers in response to the call of the Allies in the West advanced too rapidly into East Prussia and was destroyed by the Germans at Tannenberg. In sixty-odd chapters most of them covering the eleven fatal days of the campaign Solzhenitsyn introduces us to a large cast of characters from all walks of life.DJ chipped.
