Looking for a book. Any ideas?

Am looking for a copy of the out-of-print 1991 softcover reprint (couldn't possibly afford one of the 1949 originals) of Bataan Uncensored by Ernest B. Miller and republished by the Minnesota Historical Society. Can't find one on the Internet. Any ideas?

LATER: Got one coming guys. Thanks!

I will check the MN Military Museum at Camp Ripley Minnesota this week for you. They sell many books related to our states military history.

Minnesota has many of its 34th Infantry Division soldiers subjected to the Bataan Death March and subsequent imprisonment by the Japanese after the fall of the Phillipines.

The MN 34th Infantry Division commemorates the Bataan Death March each year with a 20 mile heavy road foot march to honor the victims and survivors of this horrific tragedy.

Lost_Dog said...: Another good place to find old/used books is AbeBooks.com

The site lists many small book sellers from around the world and frequently has older books at cheaper prices than Amazon. In this case they appear to be more for Bataan Uncensored - 31 copies ranging in price $17 & up including shipping.; May 13, 2012 at 11:28 PM

Anonymous said...: This is a great book and shows the problems American soldiers faced at the start of WW II. Many of those problems were caused by bad staff work in our PI Headquarters.

One of the tankers in this story lives in the Tri-Cities of Eastern Washington and said that his commander, the author, begged to take all their ammunition with them when they moved to Bataan but was refused that request even thought they had the ability to move the ammo. The same result was met when they tried to carry their rations with them.

Heartbreaking.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
