Roger Olaf Egeberg, M.D. (13 November 1902 – 13 September 1997 Washington, D.C.) was an American medical educator, administrator and advocate of public health. He was General Douglas MacArthur's personal physician during World War II in the Pacific theater. His other roles included Assistant Secretary for Health and Scientific Affairs in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare during the Nixon administration and Dean of the University of Southern California's medical school. During World War II, Egeberg was a member of the 4th General Hospital which was sent to Australia. From there he transferred to Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea (PNG) where he organized field stations and was a malaria control officer. Through determined attempts to control illnesses such as malaria and sexually transmitted diseases in PNG, Egeberg was noticed by MacArthur who made him his personal physician and aide-de-camp. Egeberg rose to the rank of colonel and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and the Legion of Merit. At the end of the war, Egeberg treated the Prime Minister of Japan, Hideki Tojo who had shot himself. Tojo was later hanged. More

New York, N.Y. Random House, 1953. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. [8], 372, [4] pages. Includes chapters on The Training Cruise, The Machine, Going Stale, and The Quietus. This is a novel of men at sea in time of war. The author began writing this book while he was in graduate school, and has been writing fairly steadily since leaving graduate school. The author was a well-regarded published author, a respected creative writing teacher at Louisiana State University and a World War II Naval veteran. In 1942, he enlisted in the Navy, serving aboard the USS Dyson, a destroyer in Arleigh Burke's Little Beaver Squadron. This squadron was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for it's exploits in the Solomon Islands. After the war, he graduated from Gettysburg College, started writing and attended graduate school at the University of Virginia. Based on his life experiences, Warren published three hardback books. His first novel published in 1953, Far From the Customary Skies, a NY Times bestseller, was about the men and life on a destroyer during the WWII Pacific campaign. In the novel No Country For Old Men, Warren revealed life during the Great Depression through a Pennsylvania youth's eyes. He wrote of struggles for power, love, revenge and disillusionment surrounding steel mill workers and their families. The third novel, The Goblins of Eros, was set in Narayit, Mexico. His interest in the villager's lives, Huitchole Indians, and conflicts with the Mexican military were the inspiration for this story of revolution filled with an intimate look into the lives of the infinitely diverse people living in Las Iguanas.

During World War II, he served aboard the light cruiser Montpelier in the Solomon Islands. In 1963 "Pacific War Diary 1942 – 1943" – his book about his experiences in World War II – became a best seller. He donated all of his proceeds from the book to help build a church in the southern Indian village of Mettupatti and continued to work as a garbage truck driver in Waltham, Massachusetts. Fahey was a great admirer of John F. Kennedy and had the opportunity to meet Kennedy during his presidency. Hardesty has written and edited numerous other books about aviation. He takes a look at an American legend in Lindbergh: Flight's Enigmatic Hero. Published in 2002 in conjunction with the seventy-fifth anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's groundbreaking solo flight across the Atlantic, the author not only tells the life story of Lindbergh but also delves into the reasons why the pioneering pilot attracted such fame and adulation, from the extreme danger he faced during his epic flight to his looks and personality. Hardesty is author with Gene Eisman of Epic Rivalry: The Inside Story of the Soviet and American Space Race. The book examines the intense rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union as the two countries launched their space programs in the 1950s. More
