1942Best.-Nr. 180751Chicago.: Chicago Daily Tribune. Friday June 51942. Printed colour map on a single newspaper leaf 37.5 x 53.2 cm; 44.7 x 59.8 cm sheet inset legend marginal browning and at the folds some undulation of paper and tide mark along lower section but in remarkably bright very good condition. Strategic map published in the Chicago Daily Tribune "The World's Greatest Newspaper" on June 5th 1942 two days after the Japanese attack on Dutch Harbor the site of the US army and navy bases in the Aleutians and as it transpired at the outset of the Battle of MIdway. The owner and proprietor of the Tribune Robert McCormick was staunchly against the United States entering the war and had firm views once it had occurred that American resources should not be used defending the British Empire. Famously the Tribune published the "Victory Program" Roosevelt’s military plan to prepare the United States for possible entry into World War II and was subject to prosecution for an alleged violation of the Espionage Act relating to the newspaper’s front-page account of the Battle of Midway 4-7 June 1942. It became an important test case for the limits of free speech and censorship during war-time. The Legend shows territorial Control of Ocean Areas marking Japanese Naval and Air bases as of 1941 and "according to latest reports" those established in the first six months of 1942. Also shown are pre-war sovereignties as at the bombing of Pearl Harbour on December 7th 1941. The Anson Archipelago is shown but a question mark "indicates islands etc. whose existence or give position is doubtful…". . Chicago Daily Tribune. unknown

2003170 pp. Bibliography of books [in English] about Bethune. Eighty-five black and white reproductions of documents. Opens with an informative fifteen page footnoted introduction by David Lethbridge. Dr. Norman Bethune [1890-1939] is revered to this day in China for his front-line medical service to the Communist Army in the late 1930s. "But from the moment he joined the Communist Party of Canada, the RCMP secret intelligence division kept extensive and detailed files on his every move. Only recently declassified, and fully reproduced for the first time in this volume, are the actual secret police files on Bethune. Never before have Bethune's own words spoken so clearly about the political convictions and personal courage that have led him to be remembered as a revolutionary militant of 'absolute selflessness.'" - back cover.
