Acquisition of Property for War Purposes
Publisher: United States Government Printing Office, 1944 Washington, DC.
Book. Book condition: Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "..In the past the military arm of executive power in time of war has very largely appropriated the necessary property without much regard to invoking orderly legal procedures, leaving the settlement of claims to future litigation. The resultant hardships to property owners and excessive costs to the Federal Government could very largely have been avoided if adequate legal procedures had been employed. In time of war the military have always felt that there is not time for the tedious processes of the law in the presence of a national emergency. This view has been conclusively answered in the present war in the acquisition of thousands of sites by the Lands Division of the Department of Justice. Even before Pearl harbor, legal procedures had been streamlined and put on an assembly line basis. At that time, opinions of the Attorney General as to the validity of title were being written in an average time of 6 days, and the filing of condemnation proceedings was so accelerated that sites anywhere in the United States or the territories were acquired in the average time of 4 days, 4 hours and 12 minutes, counting from the time the request was received in the Lands Division to the time when title or the right to immediate possession was vested by court order in the United States Government." xli + 158 pages with index. Book is in FAIR to GOOD condition; discoloration to pages; pages are otherwise clean; binding is very good. No dust jacket.

Blumenson, Martin
Sicily: Whose Victory?
Publisher: N.Y., Ballantine Books [1969].
160 p., illus.; paper covers worn; good+. First printing. Ballantine's Illustrated History of World War II Campaign Book, No. 3. The invasion of Sicily was successsful beyond Allied expectations. Seizing the island's airports alone aided Mediterranean shipping and smashed the Axis sea and air forces with completely unexpected ease. The fall of Mussolini, the crack in the Axis alliance, the performance of American soldiers were all pluses. That German land forces were able to drag out their defence for 38 days using terrain, demolitions and mines gave unheeded preview of the Italian campaign. That so many German soldiers and so much equipment escaped was a failure that Blumenson was the first to suggest was a German victory. Among the editorial howlers in this volume is cruiser Philadelphia twice described as a battleship. Stock #27146. Vg/paperback. Military history.

Dupuy, Colonel R. Ernest
St. Vith, Lion in the Way: The 106th Infantry Division in World War II
Publisher: Infantry Journal Press, 1949 Washington, DC.
Book. Book condition: Very Good. Poor. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "Panic! Out of the swirling confusion of the Battle of the Bulge - Von Rundstedt's smash through the Ardennes forests - that was the work that came down. The 106th Divideion, green and fresh in the lines, had broken in panic and confusion before the panzers. It wasn't true then and it isn't true now. The106th, hit by a force greater than any infantry division spread over 20 miles of front could hope to contain, fell back. The withdrawal was confused, but knots of men and machines gathered at key defensive positions, sometimes by design and sometimes by accident, and fought from these positions until they were driven back or captured. The two forward regiments of the 106th, hopelessly cut off, were gobbled up, but still small groups and single fighting men from these regiments carried on a savage guerrilla warfare with the enemy until the Bulge was finally reduced by American troops. St. Vith - focus of five key roads and three railroads - was vital to the success of the enemy's attack. His timetable called for its capture by H-hour plus 24, but the 106th had other ideas. Its one remaining regiment, together with Combat Command B of the Ninth Armored Division, and belated reinforcement by the 7th Armored Division held St. Vith for critical days while the German advance in the St. Vith sector slowed to a wak, denied the use of the road center. When the Germans finally got the 106th out of St. Vith, it was too late, much too late. From the 106th Division, the 101st Airborne Division, and the Ninth and Seventh Armored Divisions, and the many other units which slowed or stopped the e3nemy offensive, our forces received the precious gift of time - time to regroup, and to strike back. The 106th Division made mistakes, a lot of them, and Colonel Dupuy has neither ignored these nor glossed them over, but one thing is clear from his well-balanced account. If the 106th made mistakes, they were mistakes of inexperience, honestly made. And they reflect no discredit on the Division or its men. The 106th fought gallantly, even brilliantly, against great odds, and its record, presented here for the first time by a competent, impartial military observer, is as proud as any unit or any man in the unit could want." Illustrated with 30-pages section of black-and-white photographs. 252 pages. Book is in VERY GOOD condition. Dust jacket has front fold detached, chipping and other wear; thus, poor to fair condition.
