On March 31, 1951, a young Navy helicopter pilot, Lt.(jg) John W. Thornton volunteered for a dangerous mission to rescue a key intelligence unit trapped on a high ridge behind enemy lines in Korea. Although he wrecked his craft while attempting to land on a small clearing atop the ridge, he immediately directed other helicopters to the scene to evacuate the marooned personnel. Thornton's resourcefulness was credited with saving the lives of three men who possessed vital intelligence, and his courage and selfless devotion to duty he gallantly refused to be rescued himself despite rapidly advancing hostile forces--won him the Navy Cross. 
This firsthand account of his exploits that day and during the following three years he spent in captivity tell a tale of courage, cruelty, and compassion. His descriptions of combat are blood chilling, and his account of brainwashing is revealing and not without humor. With a foreword by Edwin P. Hoyt and first published in 1981, the book has earned high praise and brought Thornton's experiences to the attention of many Americans. Now back in print after 23 years, it promises to attract new generations wanting to know more about the Korean war and its often overlooked heroes.

Demong, Phyllis

This is a beautiful and deeply moving true animal story, set in the desolate wilds of the Highlands of Scotland against a mood of impending disaster. It tells a continuing story of a wild but protected fox whose warm and humorous antics won it many thousand friends It is an immediate story, told first-hand by a deeply committed nature writer who came to know the "loving fox", Rufus, and the host of humans and animals who became his intimate friends and about whom he writes so knowingly. Overnight fame and an ensuing film deal--Lady into Fox-- found Rufus touring everywhere, visiting hospitals, appearing on television, and meeting people, especially the children. Everywhere he went he loved and was loved, proving that an animal could be wild and yet not hostile. And still, in the Highlands that were his home, there were the hunters and the fox-haters who would not accept him for what he was. And so, even amid friendship and goodwill, it was inevitable that one day....

For love of a wild thing

This new edition includes a foreword by the author and an afterword in which he presents and comments on some of the nearly 1,000 letters he has received since the original publication of this classic novel.
