411, (3 ads) pages. "This volume of war correspondence and travel bridges forty years of personal wanderings and adventure." - from Introductory. The adventures described took place in many places around the world. Here are the author's thoughts after a time in China: "The Chinese are noted for their savage cruelty. I had several instances, but I will not jar my readers' feeling by going into details of the Chinaman's 'gentle art' of disposing of his captive enemies. China, too, is the land of corruption. Every man considers it his duty to cheat his neighbour. It is a cardinal article of Celestial life. The process is known as 'squeezing' and, beginning with the Emperor, it is prosecuted down step-by-step." - from page 224. Unmarked. Somewhat above-average wear to publisher's red cloth adorned with gilt lettering. Binding intact. Moderate spine slant. Backstrip all but loose. (Prior owner secured it with tape, now moved, leaving some tackiness.) A worthy vintage copy. Book

324 pages including index and numerous interesting black and white photographic plates. Inscribed to "Number 32 Deepsea" by Author upon half-title page which bears many additional signatures including those of: David Forsyth, Bob MacLaurier, A.J. (Jack) Douglas, Bob Kennedy, Tom McGrath, A. McKeown, Gerry McCullough, Bill Wilson, and Lloyd Robinson. McCullough is mentioned in the book as a Lake seaman who went deepsea during the war and was, at time of publication, a full-time organizer for the International Transport Workers Federation and responsible for tracking down ships violating basic conditions and bringing them into line. His predecessor was Tom McGrath. Shotguns, Mounties, American gangsters, the courts and government - all were used by the shipowners to destroy the Canadian Seaman's Union. What was this union that provoked such an unprecedented attack? Combining rigorous research with the stirring recollections of the people who lived the events, Jim Green weaves a gripping story from the union's birth on the Great Lakes in the mid-1930s through the 1949 world-wide strike to save the Canadian merchant fleet. Some creasing to covers. Average wear overall to this special copy. Book
