(Millbrae), [Self-Published], (1974). A self-published account of a group of Marine POWs in China, 1941-1945. Inscribed by the author to Richard Stratton: "To Commander Richard A. Stratton/ 'Ting hao' United States Naval officer/ with greatest admiration for his magnificent performance while a POW./ John A. White/ March 3, 1975." Stratton was a POW in North Vietnam for over 2250 days; during his time as a prisoner, in an event later known as "the Stratton incident," he shed light on the North Vietnamese use of torture to break the will of their prisoners. Front flyleaf has two strips of white-out above the inscription; the book is foxed and musty, with some dampstaining on the front free endpaper and the next few pages; still very good in a near fine, rubbed dust jacket.
