PELELIU LANDING

Tom Lea

Dallas, Texas: Still Point Press, 1988. NF/NF. Dust Jacket in mylar protector. SIGNED BY TOM LEA. Illustrations by the author; introduction by Al Lowman. "Peleliu Landing" originally published in 1945; "A Grizzley from the Coral Sea" originally published in 1944. After his experience at Peleliu, Tom Lea returned to Texas and summed up his thoughts: "I came home to El Paso not trying to understand the providence that brought me back. I felt that I had no real right to be home. I felt that I was not there, that I could never be there, back home and within its blessing, until I was finished recording the testimony to which I was sworn as an eyewitness, for others as well as myself: what battle is and how it looks when you are there."
