Tourist Under Fire; the journal of a wartime traveler

New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1945. First edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. x [2], 301, [5] p. 22 cm. Endpaper map. Maps on lining-papers. The author writes about this book that: "I have planned it as a straightforward journal of a wartime traveler. A book has to be more than a recital of physical adventure, no matter how unique those adventures may be. It seems to me that what is important is the writer's attitude toward his experiences. I propose to try to write with honesty and objectivity. I shall have to delve into personal and intimate experiences, because they are concerned in the narrative." Condition: Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling.
