Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Alternating between black comedy and horror, Angel: A Nightmare of the Holocaust is a two-act play that uses the setting of the Holocaust to explore contemporary values, the question of personal responsibility versus universal guilt, and the seductive appeal of evil. Controversial and thought-provoking, "Angel" offers strong roles for women and strong subject matter for theaters seeking to challenge themselves and their audiences. "Angel" is a drama based on the trial and execution of real-life Nazi war criminal Irma Grese. Grese became a concentration camp guard at the age of sixteen, was prosecuted by the British in the Belsen trials, and was executed at the age of 21 for her crimes against humanity. A strikingly beautiful woman, she was dubbed by the international press as "The Blonde Angel of Auschwitz." During the play, Irma's prosecutor falls under her fatal charms. He is drawn, along with the audience, down into a private nightmare where the tables are turned and he becomes the accused. Also dragged into the nightmare is Olga Lengyel, a survivor of Auschwitz, who teaches the prosecutor a lesson about dignity and survival. "Angel" was a winner of the first Open Book/Fireside Theatre Playwriting Competition and the grand prize winner of the Riverfront Theatre's New Works competition. The Open Book in Manhattan mounted a reader's theater presentation of "Angel" as part of their 1995/1996 season. A reading edition was printed in the collection Reader's Theatre, edited by Marvin Kaye, available through Fireside Books. A staged reading of "Angel" was presented by Florida Studio Theatre in August, 1995 as part of their SummerFest '95 program. First Age productions in New Hampshire presented a full-staged production of "Angel" in February and March of 1998. Since then, the play has been produced many times by educational and community organizations. It had a full equity premier in Philadelphia and received its UK premiere in Hereford, England in October of 2011. Angel's professional Los Angeles premiere was in 2015 in Crown City Theater.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When General MacArthur's staff planned his triumphant return to the Philippines during WWII, they faced an unprecedented challenge: a new kind of warfare. The American Army had never undertaken long amphibious assaults across the vast, treacherous expanses of the Southwest Pacific. This demanded an innovative solution for seamless communication. Enter the Signal Corps. Undeterred by the matted, waterlogged terrain, blistering heat, and relentless tropical diseases, they engineered a revolutionary communication system that spanned thousands of miles over land and sea. Their ingenious answer was the CP Fleet: a flotilla of Army ships providing seaborne communications, maintaining critical lines of contact under fire in even the most remote war zones. Implementing this groundbreaking endeavor was Colonel "Dave" Davidsmeyer, a former Bell System Engineer serving on MacArthur's staff. Tasked with coordinating all Signal Corps activities and offering technical expertise, Davidsmeyer was a key player in this high-stakes operation. His scrapbooks give a glimpse into day-to-day operations of MacArthur's "Grand Fleet." From bits and pieces in his files, his granddaughter has lovingly assembled this book, revealing fragments of a remarkable life and a pivotal piece of history, capturing the ingenuity, determination, and heroism of the Signal Corps as they forged a new path in wartime communication. These primary source documents offer rich material for WWII researchers and enthusiasts alike.
