I saw him cry, and I heard him curse; he saw the corpses, he saw the victims, he understood what no one would ever understand, that something had happened in history that had changed history, and in his helplessness, he simply cursed, and to me his curses became pure prayers…” OCLC lists just 3 copies worldwide (West Point, US Army War College, Texas A&M) .

THE MEANING OF FREEDOM

1st Edition. Original Paper Wrappers. 8vo. 8 pages ; 23 cm. In English. From the 3rd Annual Sol Feinstone Memorial Lecture series at West Point. This lecture given by Pulitzer Prize winning novelist and writer Herman Wouk. Wouk served in the Navy in the Pacific Theater of WWII. He addresses the west point graduates about The Meaning of Freedom, concluding, “In the last five years, working on ‘The Winds of War…’ I’ve spoken three times: to the Naval Academy, to the Naval War caollege, and now to the United States Military Academy. It isn’t because I’m a militarist. I’m not intrigued… by the romance of war. Let me make this plain to you. In my view war is a massive criminal absurdity… I believe, heart and soul, that in days to come it will fade from the minds of men and nations as a possible way to behave. That is what I’m trying to say in my books. ” OCLC lists only one copy worldwide (Westpoint) . This cannot have been well-received at West Point, and certainly would not have been a speech it would have wanted to promote or make readily available outside the academy. Ex-library with Jewish institutional stamp and usual markings. Some markings on cover and waterdamage to the top of the paper wrappers and first page. Text is not effected and is bright and clean.
