Navy from the Solomons to the Aleutians. Foster Hailey, New York Times war correspondent in the Pacific, here describes the first two hard years when our forces in that region were fighting odds every time they went to sea or joined the issue ashore or in the air. His account is the history of our whole Pacific naval campaign as it developed step by step. Mr. Hailey was in the front line from the Solomons to the Aleutians; yet he was not out to have adventures himself but to get the facts, and he gives a straightforward, eyewitness account of what other men did. Admirals Nimitz and Halsey, General MacArthur, John Smith and Joe Foss, Lieutenant General Vandergrift and his staff, Rear Admiral Rosedahl, and the unsung men with whom the author sailed or was billeted ashore are among the many individuals who appear in the book. Pacific Battle Line shows war's true face, as a highly technical, utterly wasteful, often boring way of life repugnant to most of our men. It pictures the head of tropic seas, the disease-ridden islands of the South Pacific, the foggy wastes of the Bering Sea, the damp, bleak Aleutians--the worst battlegrounds on which any war was every waged, and battlegrounds where the physical and mental strain exceed those of any other area. Much of this tale could heretofore only be revealed piecemeal, and the coordinated sequence of action now gives unexpected significance to individual enterprises. The result offers a clear understanding of the general strategy, the relationships of different moves to each other, and the outcome. E-375; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - I In the backwoods of Alfheim, the village of Boar Akarn led its quiet existence. Seasons passed and years rolled by. Quiet, like the elders desired. Hemmed in by traditions, Catherine yearned for some change. She had been abandoned by her father to the care of the kind widow Sturlasda. Under her tutorage, Catherine had learned the healing craft. So well, that after the widow passed, she became the village healer. The new moon marked the passing of the celebration of Varafen, with its usual belly aches and hangovers. It appeared to Catherine that she would have to spend another year bored when she went to sleep that night. Waking to the sound of pounding on her back door, she descended the ladder from the loft. In terror she watched the kitchen door burst open, knocked off its hinges by a massive Yetann. Before she could protest or run, he grabbed her and carried her out of her home and the quiet existence she had known.As they traveled there were times that her mind approached clarity. During those times she had hoped for rescue. But now her healing gifts had cleared her mind and she knew. She knew no rescue was coming. No one in her home village of Boar Akarn would have been foolish enough to attempt a rescue from the giant beasts who had dragged her from her home. In the backwoods of Alfheim, they were known as yetann. These were not the reclusive mountain yetann. No, they were the lyion yetann that populated the horror stories from the past. Now she saw just how terrible they were. They stood almost 10 feet tall. Their paws held wicked claws that were as large as daggers. Would even the king's scouts, if they had known of her plight, attempt a rescue How would she battle for her freedom She had no hope for help. How would she fight with only her healing gifts and the training she had received She began to plot how best to die, battling enemies she never knew she had.Then an impossible mix of mythical creatures and scouts in training appeared. Hope once more blossomed in her heart. And in a world long abandoned by its gods the legendary Dryad and Greenman help introduce the world once more to powers lost long ago.
