Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

ciii, [4], 323, [1] pages. Illustrations. Some soiling inside hinges. Ex-library copy with usual library markings. Name in ink inside front board. Boards and spine scuffed, soiled, and worn.

When MacArthur was ordered out, Romulo stayed on, though he knew there was a heavy price on his head. Finally, with the fall of Bataan, he was ordered to leave and was actually "last man out" in an old amphibian plane. Another version of an heroic saga, which reads movingly.…
