Imprint: New York, St. Martin's Press, 1992 [1992] Hardcover and dustjacket. Black binding, gilt lettering, 32 pages of historic photos and illustrations, total of 261 pages. The book and dustjacket are Fine, pristine condition. No cracks or tears to binding, and free of stickers, bookplates, writing and underlines in text, and page tears. In gift-giving condition. This is the incredible account of the first successful American Island airborne attack in World War II. The island of Corregidor, situated at the mouth of Manila Bay, was the U.S. troops' last stand and came to represent their humiliating defeat in the Philippines - a defeat so resounding that it inspired General Douglas MacArthur's courageous promise: I shall return. This book is the account of the United States' triumphant return to the island fortress (with an unorthodox and risky plan that no one thought would work, and the soldiers who carried out the impossible). Publisher's Weekly called the book an impressive achievement in research and narrative skill. Exciting, historical.

It's about Tom and Louisa Gradgrind who have been harshly raised by their father, an educator. Their lives are devoid of beauty, culture, or imagination. The two really don't like each other. Louisa gets married to a vulgar banker, then leaves him and returns to her father. Tom robs his brother-in-law's bank. And the story builds from those points. It's all Dickens, in story and character development. And the book was printed in Dicken's home country, England.
