China - Burma - India Theater of War
By 1st Lieutenant Monroe S. Withers
It was during the darkest days of World War II and it seemed the whole world was caught up in the bitter, worldwide conflict. While the wars in Europe and in the Pacific were getting all the headlines, there was a dirty, bitter, "Forgotten War" going on in the China - Burma - India theater.
In this book 1st Lt. Monroe Withers tries to bring to you some of the triumphs and the tragedies, joys and sorrows of the desperate battle to drive the Japanese invaders from Burma and China.
It tells of his many flights behind enemy lines in an unarmed transport plane to carry desperately needed supplies to "Merrill's Marauders" in the jungles of Burma. It tells of his many missions over the "Hump" into China while flying through ice storms and the treacherous monsoon weather, to deliver gas, bombs, and supplies to General Chenault's "Flying Tigers," and finally it tells of his return home to a tender reunion with the girl who had promised to wait for him.
Softcover. 60 Pages.

Soldier Slaves
Abandoned by the White House, Courts, and Congress
by James W. Parkinson and Lee Benson.
Decades-old war abuses are given up-to-the-minute relevance in this book about World War II American soldiers seeking restitution from Japanese companies that used them as slave laborers during the war. Their struggle is told by the lawyer representing them, James Parkinson as he ties the present to the past by interspersing horrific war narrative with modern-day dramas played out in courtrooms and congressional hearing rooms as lawyers, judges, government officials, senators, and congressmen debate the merits of a case now known as the JPOW case. In the process, wartime brutality confronts peacetime prosperity, and economics, not military might, determines the outcome. Using the personal history of one of the veterans he represents to illustrate what happened, Parkinson traces a path that began with the infamous Bataan Death March of April 1942 and three and a half years of forced labor, followed by years of silence imposed on the veterans by their own government. Readers will be drawn into the case as the extent of the maltreatment by the Japanese is revealed and the POWs' efforts to be compensated for their labor unfold. With the support of such influential senators as Orrin Hatch and Joseph Biden and the publication of this book, Parkinson and coauthor Lee Benson are making certain that the veterans' story becomes widely known.

Dawn of Darkness, A Novel
Dawn of Darkness, A Novel
Our Price: $12.99

Dawn of Darkness tells the hidden story behind the greatest scandal of the Second World War: how American soldiers miraculously overcame not only the Bataan Death March but medical experimentation in Manchuria under the Japanese biological weapons program. Looming in the background is Ishii Shiro, who conducted germ tests on U.S. POWs, and after the war, struck a secret deal with General MacArthur, trading his grisly research in exchange for immunity from war crimes prosecution. More than fifty years later, the public is just beginning to comprehend the full scope of this dim chapter in our history. Dawn of Darkness, an epic rendering of these events, plumbs the uneasy relationship between the United States and its veterans of war, exploring the hidden costs - and unseemly spoils - of "victory."

Flags of our Fathers
by James Bradley
In February 1945 American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo Jima-and into history. Through a hail of machine gun and mortar fire that left the beaches strewn with comrades, they battled to the islands highest peak, and after climbing through a landscape of hell itself, they raised a flag. Now the son of one of the flag raisers has written a powerful account of six very different men who came together in a moment that will live forever.

White Hat Gold Braid Marine Green
by Thomas Powell
Of this autobiography, the author states, "This is a chronology of my twenty-six years of naval service preceded by a brief resume of my early years. This story needed telling and could not be told by anyone else. From my first enlistment in 1932, to Occupation Duty in Nagasaki/Sasebo, Japan in 1945/46, and until retirement in 1958, my duties were varied, interesting and sometimes hazardous...No one else that I know of served in actions where four flag officers and one general officer lost their lives.
Paperback. 210 pages.
