Osaka, Japan: Asahi Shimbun Co., 1978. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. The format is approximately 8 inches by 10.75 inches. 274 pages. Decorative covers. Illustrations. Maps. Text is in Japanese. The Asahi Shimbun ( , IPA: [lit. 'morning sun newspaper']) is a Japanese daily newspaper founded in 1879. It is one of the oldest newspapers in Japan and Asia, and is considered a newspaper of record for Japan. The Asahi Shimbun is one of the five largest newspapers in Japan along with the Yomiuri Shimbun, the Mainichi Shimbun, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun and Chunichi Shimbun. The newspaper's circulation, which was 4.57 million for its morning edition and 1.33 million for its evening edition as of July 2021, was second behind that of the Yomiuri Shimbun. By print circulation, it is the second largest newspaper in the world behind the Yomiuri, though its digital size trails that of many global newspapers including The New York Times. Its publisher, The Asahi Shimbun Company, is a media conglomerate with its registered headquarters in Osaka. It is a privately held family business with ownership and control remaining with the founding Murayama and Ueno families. According to the Reuters Institute Digital Report 2018, public trust in the Asahi Shimbun is the lowest among Japan's major dailies, though confidence is declining in all the major newspapers. The Asahi Shimbun is considered left-leaning and has been called "the intellectual flagship of Japan's political left," with a long tradition of reporting on big political scandals more often than its conservative counterparts.

Rear Admiral Paul Auphan (1894–1982) served in World War I and World War II. After serving as Minister of the French Navy, he resigned on 15 November 1942. He published numerous books on naval and political history. On August 14, 1946, he was judged and condemned in absentia to forced labor, degraded national status, and confiscation of his properties. On July 19 and 20, 1955, a second hearing condemned him to only five years in prison with probationary measure and five years of degraded national status. In 1956, the State Council gave him back his rank and rights for pension. Auphan dedicated his life later to writings: a close figure to General Maxime Weygand or Colonel Rémy, he published his memoirs, defended his views and remained loyal to the memories of Marshal Philippe Pétain. Jacques Mordal (1910-1980) was a French naval historian. He authored twenty books on World War II, the most important of which relate the stories of the conspicuous events in the history of the French Navy: The Norwegian campaign; the battles of Dunkirk, Dakar, and Casablanca; and the war in Indochina. Capt. Abel Charles Jules Sabalot (1897-1972) was a noted naval intelligence professional and skilled translator. More

London, England: Victor Gollancz LTD, 1943. Third Impression [Stated]. [DJ says 3rd Edition]. Hardcover. 127, [1] pages. Illustrations. Page discoloration noted. DJ has wear, tears, soiling and chips. The only war correspondent who accompanied the Allied Dieppe raid tells the story of the brave, heroic but ultimately futile assault landing which would lay the foundation for the success in Normandy. This is the story of a landing on Hitler's France, of the men who made the landing, and of how they planned and trained for many months. The battles that follow each landing vary in tactics and results, but the strange experiences that precede and accompany the sea crossing, the actions and emotions leading up to the supreme moment when the assault boats ground on the enemy coast, are always the same, or nearly the same. Therefore the author has tried in this book not merely to tell the story of a particular raid, but to describe events common to all those assault landings which will become so vital a part of the United Nations' plan for victory. Before Austin landed at Dieppe as War Correspondent of the British national newspapers, he trained with Britain's new army: and he gives us the full story, not only of the Dieppe raid, but of how the shock troops of this war, the landing assault infantry, the beachhead battalions, train for all combined operations, and of how, with the Navy and the R.A.F., they are being welded into one striking force.

Illustrations (some in color). Introduction. Explanatory Notes. Appendices. Bibliography. Archive Source Material. Index. Decorative cover. No dust jacket present. About the author: "I was raised in an inland valley area in Northern California (Redding). I went to college at Brigham Young University, got an electrical engineering degree, and went to work for Lockheed Missiles and Space Co. in the Silicon Valley. In 1969, I was offered a job with GTE Sylvania working on the ALTAIR radar project on Roi-Namur Island in the Kwajalein Atoll. Immediately after arriving, I got acquainted with the fishermen on the island as I was a fishing fanatic. While being around the dock area, I got acquainted with several divers who showed me underwater photographs of the shipwrecks in the nearby lagoon along with artifacts that they had recovered. These fascinated me as I had always been interested in ship and WW II history since childhood days; becoming a shipwreck diver was a natural progression." More

Folding facsimile letter between pages 146 and 147 present. Page foxing noted. Library rebinding. Few library markings/indications. Sir John Barrow, 1st Baronet, FRS, FRGS, FSA (19 June 1764 – 23 November 1848) was an English geographer, linguist, writer and civil servant best known for term as the Second Secretary to the Admiralty from 1804 until 1845. Barrow was attached on the first British embassy to China from 1792 to 1794 as comptroller of the household to Lord Macartney. He soon acquired a good knowledge of the Chinese language, on which he subsequently contributed articles to the Quarterly Review; and the account of the embassy published by Sir George Staunton records many of Barrow's valuable contributions to literature and science connected with China. Barrow returned to Britain in 1804 and was appointed Second Secretary to the Admiralty by Viscount Melville, a post which he held for most of forty years. Lord Grey took office as Prime Minister in 1830, and Barrow was especially requested to remain in his post, starting the principle that senior civil servants stay in office on change of government and serve in a non-partisan manner. Barrow enjoyed the esteem and confidence of all the eleven chief lords who successively presided at the Admiralty board during that period, and more especially of King William IV while lord high admiral, who honored him with tokens of his personal regard.
