Description
General Mark Wayne Clark earned fame in World War II as the commander of the Allied forces in the Mediterranean area, but in From the Danube to the Yalu he relates the story of his time as the Commander in Chief in the Far East. This is the story of Clark overseeing the War in Korea.
As a fierce Cold Warrior Clark is blunt in placing the conflict within what he saw as an international Communist effort to overthrow the Western Democracies. He was deeply unsatisfied with the Korean cease fire and felt the war should have been prosecuted more vigorously. He provides fascinating inside stories of the issues in UN POW compounds and from direct dealings with President Syngman Rhee.
Lightly worn, sunned & rubbed dust jacket; else very good condition. This copy inscribed and signed by General Clark “To: My good friends / To: Page & Roland / With the admiration of / the author / (signed) / May 7, 1954.”
Clark, Mark W. From the Danube to the Yalu. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1954. 1st edition, 369p., frontispiece, illustrations, maps, dust jacket.
