Book excerpt: "The story of Maj. Gen. George Olmsted, who, with his staff, originated rescue operations resulting in the freeing of thousands of prisoners from Japanese prison camps in World War II, and who, in civilian life became one of the world's great financiers, is sharply delineated in thhis biography by Howard L. Dutkin. It is an incredible story - - and yet the facts are all on the record. The New York Times, editorializing on the prisoner rescue in the issue of Aug. 24, 1945, said in part: "Like many spectacular deeds of the war, the smooth operation of the parachute teams has been due not only to individual daring ... but to careful step by step training in organization. Like the Commandos, the rescue teams knew precisely where they were going, what they wanted to do and how to do it. Brigadier General George Olmsted, who planned and directed their activities left very little to chance. ... It is a bright chapter in the Pacific war." "--Cover flap

Book excerpt: A hearty eater, dapper dresser, bookseller to Loyalists and Patriots alike,and married into a staunch Loyalist family, Henry Knox may seem an unlikely hero.But his fascination with warfare and strategy and his support of the Patriot cause prepared him to do what no one else thought was possible: transport heavy artillery from Fort Ticonderoga, up and down snow-covered hills and across frozen lakes, to relieve the siege of Boston.
