Seller Description
Previous owner’s name written inside; staining and warping on dust jacket; reminder mark A Memoir of an Extraordinary Life by Archbishop Philip Hannon with Nancy Collins and Peter Finney Jr. The 82nd Airborne: "Gripping the door's rim for leverage, I hurled myself into the air, doing a half-turn. The propeller instantly ripped open my chute, followed by a terrific body wrench courtesy of my skin-tight harness. In seconds, my entire body was reacting to a forced sudden stop after going 120 miles an hour in a plane." Freeing Jews in Germany: "Walking into the barracks, we were immediately assailed by a suffocating stench, leading to the shocking panorama of hundreds of half-alive, emaciated prisoners, dressed in tattered, utterly soiled uniforms, shuffling amongst clumps of corpses as if they were not there.... Never in my life had I experienced nor will I ever again such an incomprehensibly barbaric insult to the human spirit." John F. Kennedy: "I could never have imagined that my first conversation with then-Congressman Jack Kennedy was the beginning of a collaborative, mutually respectful friendship that would last until his death. It would also remain a secret. I could not never did publicize our relationship." Thank you for viewing my bookshelf! Bundle to save on shipping! https://linktr.ee/anicalavada
