New York: Random House, 1942. hardcover. Book VG: mild shelf wear to boards and spine, hinge starting at front paste down, text clean, binding tight./DJ VG-: rubbing/age toning, edge and corner wear, NOT clipped.. 8vo 545pp. Stated second printing. from front flap: "Cecil Brown's story of the sinking of the Repulse and the Prince of Wales and his broadcasts from doomed Singapore have made him world famous. His book has the same breathless quality of excitement, honesty and accuracy. He indulges in no rhetorical flights, but when he tells his first-hand story of the fight against Rommel's tanks in the desert, you feel the sand choking you and blinding your eyes; when he describes the guerrilla warfare in Malaya, the suffocating heat and mystery of the jungle close down about you like a vise." #02555 HEAVY ITEM WILL REQUIRE EXTRA S/H.
