Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

xii, 559, [5] pages. Endpaper maps. Occasional footnotes. Maps. Illustrations. DJ has wear, soiling, tears and chips. James Albert Michener (February 3, 1907 - October 16, 1997) was an American author of more than 40 books, most of which were fictional, lengthy family sagas covering the lives of many generations in particular geographic locales and incorporating solid history. Michener had numerous bestsellers and works selected for Book of the Month Club, and was known for his meticulous research. Michener's novels include Tales of the South Pacific for which he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1948, Hawaii, The Drifters, Centennial, The Source, The Fires of Spring, Chesapeake, Caribbean, Caravans, Alaska, Texas, Space, and Poland.

He acknowledges that the campus "straights" were passionately anti-war and anti-draft, that many moderates were glad to see the ROTC building burn. Michener makes a plea to spare peaceable radicals and junior faculty for the sake of free-flowing ideas. It is a work of interpretive journalism.…
