1950ref. vot865New York: The Viking Press 1950. Octavo burgundy cloth hardcover gilt lettering map illus. endpapers xxvi 306 pp. Very Good in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: This is the story of General Robert L. Eichelberger Eighth Army commander who knew all that there was to know about the total strategy of an enormous theater and yet who spent much of the war within range of enemy mortar fire. He fought shoulder to shoulder with his own men within seventy-five feet of the Jap front line at Buna. He landed with his own first wave at Leyte and nearly outran his own 11th Airborne in its miraculous dash for Manila. He even strafed Jap defenders from his own B-17 in the Philippines. A typical day would find him at the front lines in the morning lunching with MacArthur hundreds of miles away at noon and back at his headquarters poring over area maps with his staff before supper. In the pages of this book he tells what it was like for a general to go patrolling with a tommygun; to work with a man of the brilliance -- and the personality of MacArthur; to command an army which set an all-time record for swift amphibious movement; to be one of a handful to enter Tokyo ahead of the troops and at a moment when the Jap surrender was merely a promise which had yet to be fulfilled. He throws light on the complicated problems of inter-Allied and inter-service cooperation. He explains the decision to attack the Philippines instead of bypassing them -- and describes the breathless wait for Roosevelt’s ratification of that decision. And finally he tells what it was like to be working boss of American Occupation Forces in Japan. Many of us think of the Pacific War as a series of sea and air battles and amphibious Marine actions. But from the bloody sweating jungles of BUna just across the way from Australia to the avenues o f Yokohama it was predominantly the Army’s war; a war of divisions and corps and most of all of mud-spattered dog-tired fever-wracked overloaded underfed men who plodded through thousands of miles for three agonizing years. A part -- less than one-half -- of this fabulous adventures has been told in Saturday Evening Post articles. Now in its full length it stands as an almost incredible record of what really happened because it is told by the man who went out and helped to do it himself. The Viking Press, 1950. hardcover books
1940ref. vita5588New York: Whittlesey House McGraw-Hill Book Company 1940. First Edition. Octavo tan cloth hardcover viii 359 pp. Very Good with light rubbing to covers. “We Kennedys were a dynasty of schoolteachers -- three generations of us our sway extending from 1820 to 1919; just one year short of a century. When we took up the rod of office we were precocious youngsters. Grandpa the most mature of the three male teachers was twenty I was nineteen while Father was only seventeen with cheeks still downy and full stature not yet attained. I am not sure how old Aunt Caroline was when she began teaching but she was somewhere near the verge of motherhood. Of course not one of us had had a day of professional training for such work. Nevertheless Grandfather and I were both invited into the service by the school patrons who regarded us as eminently qualified. Father any my aunt went into it of their own accord but had little trouble finding places. When these three elders began their work there was not even the semblance of an examination to test their ability and aptitude. Our three lifetimes witnessed an evolution from the most primitive type of American school the isolated one-room log building with earthen floor and backless benches to the modern small-city type with all the rural district schools eliminated and one central well-equipped plant for a township and everybody riding to it in a bus. In that ninety-nine years we saw new horizons appear saw our nation reach westward to the PAcific saw the boundless forest replaced by farms and municipalities; we saw a new America built and American social life and education change almost beyond conception especially in the towns. In the country when I finally put away my textbooks therre was still discernible a faint tang of our old pioneer atmosphere -- but it too was fading rapidly before the pungent breath of the automobile.” Whittlesey House, McGraw-Hill Book Company, (1940).

1984ref. vita5638Nantucket Massachusetts: Mill Hill Press MCMLXXXIV. 1984. Quarto green boards hardcover gilt letters and illustration to upper cover 235 pp. Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Anton Otto Fischer was born into extreme poverty in Regensburg in 1882 and found himself an orphan very shortly afterward. His early life makes extrememly interesting reading although it was far removed from all sight and sound of the sea. However he did go to sea if for quite the wrong reasons and served in a variety of craft both steam and sail of different nationalities finally coming ahsore in New York at the turn of the century. Later he went to Paris to study at the Academie Julian where he barely missed his contemporary Arthur Briscoe and all this time the reader is struck with his sense of purpose and innate self-discipline which was characteristic of his entire life. On his return to the United States he quickly made himself a great name as an illustrator and possibly due to the insecurity of his youth and partly because he was not a man who ever courted fame he never ceased to illustrate -- the results making his name a household word wherever the greater American magazines and books were read. By this time he was an American citizen. As time passed he became purely a marine artist and the pity was that so few of the countless thousands of people who awaited his illustrations so eagerly had any idea of the merits of the original pictures or of the vast number of magnificent works produced for his own amusement. Although many of his pictures hang in galleries and museums he himself never sought these venues but when commissioned in the U.S. Coast Guard in the Second World War as an artist-laureate the resulting pictures were widely exhibited and took the United States by storm. Nevertheless few people have had the opportunity to appreciate Fischer’s work to the full. He was probably the greatest marine artist ever to work on the Western side of the Atlantic. Extremely prolific he produced an immense variety of subjects with uncanny accuracy for he was a man who seemed to have a mystical affinity with the very run of the sea and the way of a ship since these were things which he portrayed with a realism that was almost unique but above all he was the master of the delineation of men’s emotions whatever the situation. In this alone he stands above all his peers. Mill Hill Press, MCMLXXXIV. (1984). hardcover books
