Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. These letters cover an unbelievable variety of war-time experiences, not shared by many servicemen, from terrifying near-death experiences on the beaches at Iwo Jima where 6000 casualties occurred on the first day, and where a kamikaze pilot's last-second inexplicable course-change caused his plane to crash harmlessly into the ship, (see front cover) to light-hearted accounts of tricky deals getting supplies. Also, in the move to Japan, the remarkable coincidental meeting, in a pearl shop in Osaka, of two former residents of New York, one American and one Japanese, and the unforgettable encounter with a Japanese Good Samaritan train-station agent. The ship moves to Shanghai where it is to deliver pure water to the ships docked in the Whangpoo River. The Shanghai stories include the author's near-miss of the Admiral's ship and the unforseen reputation from that near-miss, the crew's magical response to a priest's request for aid to his famished orphans, the beautiful unapproachable Iranian page in the British production of Richard II, the hordes of international shoppers and the $63,000 suitcase, and widespread dysentery from 'C' rated restaurants. The next few months are spent on a frightening assignment as a 'detonator' ship, working with minesweepers off the coast of Formosa, clearing the area of mines. The letters then move to Pearl Harbor where the author, now captain of the ship, through forgivable trickery, saves members of his crew from being transferred to ships going to the Bikini Atom Bomb test. On the last leg of the 8,000-mile return from Shanghai to the States, the ship runs into a massive storm off California, where it comes within 2 degrees of capsizing under mountainous waves. A truly remarkable odyssey! This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this Incredible tale of Faith and Forgiveness two young killers turn themselves in to the local sheriff when they see, in a newsmagazine, the man they murdered lying dead with the words 'I forgive you, boys' scrawled in his blood on the wall behind him. National attention is drawn to this confession by the two heretofore unidentified killers. A major New York publisher offers a book contract to the reporter who has covered the story only to find that the reporter has just been killed in a small-plane crash. He sends a junior editor to get a signed contract from the man's widow only to find the reporter's boss, Fleming, the local paper's publisher, has become vitally interested in the murdered man's story. He had never liked Wilson, the nightwatchman who was murdered, and had never regarded him as saintly, but he is forced to change his view of Wilson when he reads Wilson's diary which includes many references to his praying all night for various people in town, prayers that he knew had been answered. Fleming, tremendously impressed by the contents of Wilson's diary, decides that the town owes Wilson a memorial service for his unknown dedication to the people of Clay City and hurriedly arranges one in the high school gym, inviting his state's senators who in turn invite the president of the United States.Fleming gets the support of the town's seven ministers to urge their congregations to attend this memorial when he discloses to the ministers that Wilson is the unknown donor of thousands of dollars to all of the churches' charitable funds. He urges the ministers not to disclose this to their members, but only to tell them they will be shocked by revelations in Wilson's diary. Fleming gets their unqualified support and an agreement from all of them to read the most revelatory passages in Wilson's diary. This memorial service turns out to be an outstanding event, attended by the state's senators and the President, and one which will be quoted from in years to come. The NY editor, a confirmed agnostic before this service, is deeply disturbed by the faith demonstrated in this service and forced to rethink his own faith or lack of it. Was George Wilson truly a saint, or not? Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
