Story and art by Nathan Hale.

In 1950, Marguerite Higgins (1920-1966) was made bureau chief of the Far East Asia desk for the New York Herald Tribune.

Tensions were high on the Korean peninsula, where a border drawn after WWII split the country into North and South. When the North Korean army crossed the border with Soviet tanks, it was war. Marguerite was there when the Communists captured Seoul. Her eyewitness account of the invasion was a newspaper smash hit.

She risked her life in one dangerous situation after another, all for the sake of good story.

Story and art by Nathan Hale.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, bringing the United States into World War II. Volunteers were requested for a dangerous secret assignment - for the first time in American history, Army bombers would be launched from an aircraft carrier. Once at sea, they were told their mission was a retaliation strike against targets in Tokyo. After the bombing, some pilots crashed, some were captured, and many ended up in mainland China and were carried to safety by Chinese villagers, being hunted by Japanese forces all the while. With tales of high-flying action and bravery, Raid of No Return is a story of heartbreak and survival during wartime.

1st Printing. As warfare grows more sophisticated, and the colour and romance of earlier ages are forced from the battlefield by the demands of camouflage, the heraldry of war remains to fulfill an enduring need. The colorful range of medal ribbons, badges and insignia are still in use today, while serving a basically functional purpose, continues to provide that sense of unity that is all important when men come to face death in defiance of all they hold dear. This book, magnificently illustrated in full color throughout, shows a cross section of the uniforms, medals and badges, and army, naval and aircraft insignia of two world wars, and illustrates the part played by heraldry in uniting men in a common cause. Hardcover, 9" x 12", 160 pages, full color.

1st printing. Written by Charles D. Winchester. The Russian Front was the decisive theatre of World War II, with the great mass of the German Army and Luftwaffe locked in battle with the Red Army in the largest land campaign in history. On a 1,200 mile front, from the Arctic Circle to the Caspian Sea, in baking summer heat and freezing winter temperatures, millions of men and women fought the most vital battle of the war. Had the Germans won in the East, a Nazi victory would have been almost inevitable. This book examines the German campaign on the Eastern Front, from their first significant defeat at the gates of Moscow in 1941 to the defeat at Stalingrad and the Russian capture of Berlin marking the end of the war in Europe, exploring how Hitler's flawed dream of conquest in the East brought about the end of the Thousand Year Reich - in little over a thousand days. This is the non-illustrated edition of Ostfront wth about 20,000 words of new material from the author. Softcover, 5-in. x 7 1/2-in., 224 pages, Text (with Color and B&W photos). Cover price $12.95.
