Description

A rare and remarkable collection of accounts by Americans held as POWs by the Japanese, including the editor.
This is a very good copy, without dust jacket. virtually mint, save for an unfortunate large, prominent dampstain on the front cover. The contents are fine, with a former owner’s name written on the front & rear paste-downs, as well as discreetly ink-stamped repeatedly on the front free endpaper, flyleaf, title page & dedication page. The original front and rear dust jacket flaps are laid-in.
