1994 first edition hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition.  A thick book of 709 pages.  R55 postage in SA or R60 courier to most bigger cities. Sir Edward Dunlop, or 'Weary' as many knew him, became a hero to thousands of prisoners of war on the Burma-Thailand 'Death Railway' during World War II. When the War broke out he took charge of a surgical team at St. Mary's, Paddington in the Emergency Medical Service, then joined the Australian Army and served in Palestine, Egypt, Greece, Crete and North Africa. In 1942 he sailed with his medical unit to Java and elected to be captured with the Allied General Hospital he began there. During more than three years as a prisoner of war, his gift for organizing vast hospital camps in Java and on the railway in Thailand, his courage, compassion and determination to get men home alive, made him a legend in his lifetime. Had his frank diaries of captivity been found by the Japanese, he would have been beheaded. Returning to Australia in 1945, Weary dedicated his life to caring for former Allied prisoners of war. Sadly he died before this biography, written with his full cooperation, could be published.

Van Onselen (C.). Masked Raiders: Irish Banditry in Southern Africa, 1880-1899. Cape Town: Zebra Press, 2010. First Edition. "For two decades before a railway system linked southern Africa's principal cities in the mid-1890s, the world's richest supplies of diamonds and gold were transported by coach and horses to distant ports for export. For Irish soldiers based at Fort Napier, Pietermaritzburg, the temptation of this fabulous wealth proved irresistible: they deserted by the score and, as members of the criminal 'Irish Brigade', embarked on a spree of bank, safe and highway robberies. "Masked Raiders" follows the wild exploits of legendary brigands like the McKeone brothers and 'One-Armed Jack' McLaughlin, who ravaged the subcontinent, from the mining towns of Barberton, Kimberley and Johannesburg to the borders of Basotholand, Bechuanaland, Mozambique and Rhodesia. With tales of heists, safe-cracking, illegal gold dealings, prison breaks and hidden roadside treasure, the book reveals the potency of the highveld's 'criminal heroes', a force - until now - largely hidden from history. Startling new insights reveal how the hidden grammar of brigandage informed political actions of the day, such as the Jameson Raid, and how the movement of bandits across the interior helped shape the borders of what was to become modern South Africa. With inimitable storytelling flair, Charles van Onselen illuminates the intrigue and influence of a secretive, oath-bound brotherhood." 292pp., b+w plates. Near Fine. Pictorial Laminated Wrappers.

  1949 Highway Post Office Trip 1 Lexington & Fleming, kentucky Cover..DATED 1/9/1949 condition- good HISTORY -Highway Post Office Due to the continual withdrawal of so many Railway Post Office (RPO) trains, the Post Office Department decided to experiment with the distribution of mail on large buses, equipped somewhat like RPO cars. On February 10, 1941, experimental service started on the Washington, DC & Harrisonburg, Virginia HPO. It was a success from the start, but, due to World War II, expansion of this service was delayed for several years. After the war, the service increased rapidly, with more than 130 routes established between 1948 and 1955. As this service was somewhat enmeshed with the RPO service, its value decreased when RPOs were abolished. The last service of this type to operate in the U.S. was the Cleveland, Ohio, & Cincinnati, Ohio HPO, which was discontinued in 1974  

 Isaac's Army: A Story of Courage & Survival in Nazi - Occupied Poland. (2013). Brzezinski.   450 PAGES.   An account of the development of the Secret  Jewish Resistance Force within the Polish Underground after the German invasion and Blitzkrieg of September 1939.   A guerrilla formation and spy network who worked tirelessly to hamper German forces in their effort to maintain control in the occupied General Government region of Poland. All forms of sabotage were employed, including destruction of railway links and demolition of power lines in an attempt to disrupt the movement of troops and supplies to the Eastern Front. Espionage activity by underground agents  who risked life and limb to provide Allied forces with much needed information and documents required to succeed in the war effort, resulted in fewer than 100 individuals actually surviving the war after 1945.   An ideal read for those interested in Resistance movements and espionage activity against Nazi occupation forces in Europe during the Second World War.   FOREIGN BIDDERS TO PAY USING BOB BUCKS - QUOTED SHIPPING  NO COLLECTIONS  PAYMENT IN 7 DAYS OR SNC SEE SHIPPING
