Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates and a multi-page beginning section of maps. "Conduct Under Fire is a triumph. John Glusman has the historical breadth and literary grace of a William Manchester but has a modern evenhandedness all his own." - David Haward Bain, author. "The fierce, bloody battles of Bataan and Corregidor in the Philippines are legendary in the annals of World War II. Those who survived faced the horrors of life as prisoners of the Japanese. In Conduct Under Fire, John A. Glusman chronicles these events through the eyes of his father and three fellow Navy doctors captured on Corregidor in May 1942. Here are the dramatic stories of the fall of Bataan, the siege of "the Rock," the daily struggles to tend the sick, the wounded, and the dying, during some of the heaviest bombardments of World War II. Once captive, the doctors and corpsment waged a desperate war against disease and starvation for nearly three and a half years, amid an enemy who viewed surrender as a disgrace. To survive, the four POWs tried to function as a family. But the ties that bind couldn't protect them from a ruthless counteroffensive waged by American submarines or from the B-29 raids that burned Japan's major cities to the ground. Based on extensive interviews with American, British, Australian, and Japanese veterans, as well as diaries, letters, and war crimes testimony, this is a harrowing account of a brutal clash of cultures, of a race war that escalated into total war. Conduct Under Fire is a gripping chronicle of courage in captivity, of sacrifice and survival, and a son's moving tribute to his father." - from the inner front jacket flap. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John A. Glusman is editor in chief of Farrar, Straus and Giroux. He has been a contributing editor to The Paris Review and has written for numerous publications, including The Economist, The Washington Post Book World, The Christian Science Monitor, and Rolling Stone. He lives in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, with his wife and three children. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 004054

8vo, 190 X 110, pp. [xxii], 584, contemporary panelled calf; front joint cracked, top and base of spine chipped, other general wear to binding; a fair copy. William Darrell (16511721) "entered the Society of Jesus on 7 September 1671. He entered the novice college at Watten in November 1672, and studied philosophy at the English College, Liège, from 1673 to 1675" (ODNB). He was a bit of a polemical author, but his most popular and enduring work, The Genleman Instructed, first published in 1702, was perfectly in tune with the climate of opinion and the received mores of the early 18th century. It is in this work when the student of 18th century literature will encounter the assertion that it was Hobbes's wit which contributed to his "atheism," and in the present work it is young Theomachus who "once intoxicated with Atheistical Wit.was soon bewitch'd with Atheisical Arguments." Small wonder that witty writers, however innocent, were considered dangeroous. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 10373
