With map, and 24 pages of vintage WW2 photos, including several of the author's shipmates who lost their lives to sharks and a typhoon. Bound in the original gilt-stamped blue cloth. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "World War II came to a conclusion on August 14, 1945, eight days after the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan. The men of the U.S.S. YMS - 472 were already having thoughts of home, family and togetherness. The weight of the war had finally been lifted, they would soon be going home. Not a single one of them suspected they would soon be introduced to a new type of enemy. SIX DAYS ON A RAFT is the incredible account of Navy Veteran Bill Harrison, who survived six days and nights on a raft in the South Pacific after his ship sank. As his buddies slipped one by one into the ocean, Bill fought through impossible odds to survive and hold onto his sanity while battling the raging demons of fear, hunger, depression and hopelessness. This is his story of true faith and survival." From the author: "An epic storm with 140 mph winds and 45 foot waves ripped apart our ship and I was hurled over 40 miles away on the life raft I used to escape our sinking ship. When the storm subsided only nine of us survived and landed in shark infested waters with no food or water. The next six days I watched my friends lose hope and one by one they slipped into the ocean, I fought impossible odds to survive and hold on to my sanity while battling the raging demons of fear, hunger, depression and hopelessness. This is my true story and I want to share it with you.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by Bill Harrison. First Edition (so stated). Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. vii, 121pp. + 24 pages of illustrations. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
