The Japanese Occupation Of The Philippines A.V.H. Hartendorp Pacific Theater Wwii,Wwii History

Stated First Edition/Two Volume Set: Near Fine books in Very Good dust jackets. A well preserved set of this two volume account of life inside the Santo Tomas Internment Camp during the Japanese occupation of Manila and the Philippines. Most of the material in this set was written by the author while interned at Santo Tomas; he was instructed very early on to keep a record of what happened in and around the camp (and around the Philippines); what results is an extraordinary eyewitness account of life under Japanese rule. This set is in near fine condition with only light rubbing and soiling to the boards and exterior text block, some more advanced rubbing to the spine head of I and the spine foot of II, and a PO sticker to the front free paper of both volumes. Housed in clean and bright very good dust jackets that show moderate rubbing and chipping to the spine ends with a couple of short closed tears, and some light rubbing and chipping to the panel edges and corners. Housed in a moderately rubbed and wrinkled cardboard slipcase. Overall, a nice example of an uncommon set; an important addition to the World War II Pacific Theater collection. Not remaindered, not ex-library; in fresh Mylar covers and will ship well wrapped in a sturdy box.
