#hardcover#BobHope#Vietnam#1960s#nonfiction “A week before Christmas, while Santa is checking his south-only maps, Bob Hope, the knight before Christmas (and a few days after), rises from a Southern California airstrip, dips his wings in tribute to the USO and the Pentagon brass and flies west. What he brings to the GI's in Vietnam, Thailand and way stations will never be in Santa's sleigh - one-of-a-kind presents like Janis Paige, Anita Bryant, Kaye Stevens, Joey Heatherton and Carroll Baker (that's five - other names furnished on request, with purchase price of book). Five of the lovelies on any one trip is the quota.”
