Shippensburg, PA: Burd Street Press, Division of White Mane Publishing Company, Inc., (1997). First Edition. Signed & inscribed. Octavo, blue leather (hardcover), gilt letters, map illus. endpapers, ix, 156 pp. From dust jacket: This book takes a broad look at MacArthur’s war as he guided his forces more than 6,500 miles to victory -- from his arrival at Melbourne, Australia after his escape from the Philippines on March 22, 1942, to his entry into Tokyo on August 30, 1945.

All this was accomplished with much less loss of life than in earlier major wars. MacArthur’s rapid advance to Tokyo could not have been achieved without the close support of the U. S.

From dust jacket: Into Darkness tells one of the most remarkable stories to come out of World War II -- the story of a courageous young major sent into unfamiliar territory to perform a mission for which he had not been trained. In April 1943, an American B-24 Liberator bomber crashed mysteriously in a remote region of New Guinea, adding to the list of bombers that had gone down in clear weather and under no hostile action. As a U.S. Army Air Force pilot and operations officer stationed at Port Moresby, New Guinea, Maj. Ed Imparato was asked to perform a unique mission -- to determine the cause of the crashes. Unfortunately, the evidence he needed lay in the heart of headhunter territory. Two civilizations collide when Imparato and six other men enter uncontrolled territory, a region inhabited by cannibals who have never seen white men before.… Read More

On trips with their parents throughout the Southwest, they came to love their surroundings: from the red rocks of Sedona to the Grand Canyon at sunrise, from the white sands of New Mexico to the Hopi reservation at Second Mesa, to monuments great and small. The area seduced them, so much so that the brothers have devoted endless hours and adventures to capturing this unforgettable landscape on film. Two Guys Four Corners is the Imuses’ spectacular collection of photography of their home turf. Their cameras take in the Southwest in all its glory and contraditions -- from prehistoric ruins to tourist trains, from heartstopping vistas to the everyday lives of the remaining Indians.
