This book had gotten wet and there is mildew residue on DJ (outside and inside), covers, and some pages. Some page rippling. A completely readable copy, but far from a showpiece. Olson's Tales from a Tin Can: The U.S.S. Dale from Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay, is an homage to his father, Robert "Pat" Olson, who served on the U.S.S. Dale for three years following the attack on Pearl Harbor. In researching the project, Olson intertwined material gleaned from a series of oral histories produced by crew members with information from the ship's log and other data he considered likely to give readers an accurate historical perspective. A reviewer for Publishers Weekly called Olson's effort "an impressive accomplishment, bringing vividly to life the actions of a single warship that fought across half the world." Booklist contributor Roland Green considered the book "a sound addition to World War II naval literature." When asked what first got him interested in writing, Olson told CA: "The desire to entertain and inform, which I saw, at a very early age, as a way of earning one's way in the world." Olson cited authors Ernest Hemingway and Robert A. Heinlein, NBC, and "all things ancient China," as influences on his work. He described his writing process as "The War of the Worlds: three a.m. to seven a.m." What was life like on a destroyer during World War II? Find out by reading Michael Keith Olson's superb telling of tales of the war in the Pacific as seen from the deck of a very lucky tin can . The son of a former Dale crewman, Olson interviewed 44 veterans and delved deeply into official documents to give this book the air of authenticity that puts the reader in the heart of the action. Tales from a Tin Can is the first oral history of one combat ship's adventures, sometimes comic, sometimes mundane, sometimes heart wrenching, over the entire course of America's involvement in the Pacific. An impressive accomplishment and highly recommended. This fascinating book captures not only the furious clashes with the Japanese but also the humdrum days in-between and the heart-stopping encounters with typhoons that could be as lethal as any engagement with the enemy. Anyone interested in stories from World War II will find this well-illustrated account of the naval campaign in the Pacific fascinating. Looking up from his newspaper from where he sat on the deck of the destroyer USS Dale, Harold Reichert could see the pilot plain as day--the leather helmet with chin strap, the goggles, and then the red rising sun painted on the planes fuselage. "I saw the torpedo drop and watched as it ran up on the old Utah." It was daybreak at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the beginning of the war, and the Dale was there; she would serve until the end, when the atomic bombs were dropped and Japan surrendered. In the words of those who manned her, the Dale's war comes vividly to life in this first oral history of a combat ship from Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay. From carrier raids on Midway, Guadalcanal, and the Solomons to the bombarding of Saipan and Guam in the capture of the Marianas, from the Aleutians in the far north to strikes on Tokyo and Kobe, Tales from a Tin Can recreates the action aboard the Dale, and conveys as never before the true grit of wartime on a destroyer.

Zustand: FINE. First printing. The first biography of this important American poet, called by Timothy Leary "the father of modern poetry" who grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts and spent his summers in the fishing city of Gloucester, and where he retreated to in 1957 to concentrate on his poetry. Robert Hass commented that "Tom Clark's 'Charles Olson' is brilliant story-telling. The poet who cuts such a large figure in the American avant garde in the fifties and sixties is unexpectedly and fully alive in Clark's prose with his huge ambitions and fears and sexual confusion." Notes, index. xi, 403 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket. …
