Walter Lord

Viking, 1977. VG-/VG, First Edition. Small gift inscription to previous owner on front flyleaf, otherwise a clean, tight copy, with jacket in mylar. Photographs, List of Contributors, index, 322 pp.

"...the full saga of the Coastwatchers is more than the story of a few brave men. It is also the story of the natives who helped them, the missionaries they worked with, the downed flyers ande castaways they rescued, the Marine patrols they guided, the pilots and submariners who serviced them, even the Japanese who chased them. This varied cast of intriguing characters gives the epoch of the Coastwatchers its special appeal and makes it almost an anachronosm by the standards of modern war, for it was a period when individual human beings were still very important..."
