Guilford, CT: The Lyons Press, 2004 The Lyons Press, Guilford, CT. 2004. Softcover/Trade Wraps. First Printing by Line Number. Reprint of the 1947 original by Thurston Mccauley Associates. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 239 pp 8vo. This book is the moving WWII account by Doris Macauley (aka Doris Rubens) of her life on the run in the Philippines and her eventual capture and imprisonment by the Japanese. She came to Manila in early 1941 to join her husband where she was an English teacher at the University of the Philippines when the war broke out in the Philippines. For a year and a half, she and her husband (Ron Johnson) lived in the mountains and jungles of Luzon, hiding with reclusive mountain tribes who sheltered and helped them in their daily struggle to evade the Japanese. Due to ever-roving Japanese patrols, they were forced to move constantly to avoid discovery—spending a week here, a month there. When they were finally captured, they were first kept in horrific Japanese prisons before being transferred to the internment camp at Santo Tomas, and, later, to Los Banos. The descriptions of hardship and the will-to-survive portrayed in Bread and Rice are a timeless story of individual courage and inspiration. A clean very presentable copy.
