Zustand: very good. In collaboration with John M. Jones. Baltimore : Gallahad Press, c1999. Paperback. xli,772 pp. - Merrill's Marauders was the name of first American infantry regiment to fight on the Asian continent since the Boxer Rebellion. Assembled in 1943 as the 5037th Composite Unit (Provisional), the 3000 infantrymen who answered FDR's call for volunteers for a secret, dangerous and hazardous mission found themselves in Indian training for jungle combat. Created to spearhead undertrained (and American-led) Chinese troops in Burma and re-open the land route to China, the 5037th was expected by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to take 85 per cent casualties and be disbanded within three months. As it turned out, the Marauders existed for 11 months, operating successfully in hostile territory, pioneering long-range military activities in jungle and mountainous regions, and completing one of the most productive - and perilous military campaigns in American history. In this volume, James E.T. Hopkins - a field surgeon with the Marauders' Third Battalion - in collaboration with John M. Jones, provides a detailed history of the highly decorated unit, from the circumstances under which the unit was formed and its arduous training to the many battles in which the Marauders distinguished themselves to the unit's deactivation in July 1945. Drawing on unpublished logs, personal diaries and histories kept by members of the regiment, Hopkins provides a personal story of combat in an environment that was nearly as deadly as the enemy. As a medical officer, he witnessed the horrors of jungle combat, the resolute heroism of the volunteers who fought and the genuine respect that men and officers had for one another. He also chronicles the efforts of the unit's rear echelon to keep the combatants supplied. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9780801864049. Keywords : CULTURAL STUDIES.…

Remains quite well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong. Physical description: 125 p. : facsims., port. ; 27 cm. Notes: List of William Pickering's publications: pp. 47-96. Includes index. Summary: Sir Geoffrey Keynes's monograph on the distinguished and influential English publisher, William Pickering, is a classic of its kind. It is also rare, since the original edition was limited to 350 copies, and published by The Fleuron in 1924. This new edition adopts the same formats and some other features as the original production, but is no slavish imitation, and there are important changes in the text. Sir Geoffrey Keynes, reviewing his work of some 45 years ago, has revised and extended the Memoir of William Pickering, written a Preface, and augmented the list of Pickering's publications. Subject: Pickering, William. Bibliographies. Pickering Publishers. Pickering Biography. Pickering, William. Bibliographies. Other names: Keynes, Geoffrey 1887-1982. PICKERING, William (1796-1854) Publisher and Bookseller. 1 Kg.…

1969, Revised Edition, 125pp. Illustrated. Cloth. Dustjacket plasticized and browned (not by smoke, see picture). Else in good condition. "Pickering [1796 - 1854] was a pioneer in publishing attractive though inexpensive books and in the use of cloth bindings in place of paper boards. Keynes first published his bibliography in 1924 when his publisher described it as follows "'The fame of William Pickering (born 1796, died 1854) as a designer and producer of books has long been known to a large circle of collectors, but the extent of his influence on the history of the book trade in England has not been fully appreciated. A monograph by Mr. Geoffrey Keynes, F.R.C.S., now provides material for a fairer judgement. In an introductory essay the author traces the main events in Pickering's life, and gives a connected account of his activities as a publisher and bookseller. The essay is supplemented by a check-list describing Pickering's chief publications of literary and typographical interest." In this revised edition Keynes adds a new preface, revises and extends the Memoir of William Pickering, and augments the listing of Pickering's publications.".…
