Toronto: Dundurn, 1998. 144 pp, 11 3/4" H. B&w photographs, reproductions. "From 1922 until 1955, Toronto's Sunnyside Amusement Park, complete with its rides, stage shows, and dance halls, was the 'Disney World' of its day. By the mid-1950s, however, Toronto was experiencing a change. It wanted to be like New York City, and if that was to happen, Sunnyside would have to go. An expanded Lake Shore Boulevard and a new Frederick G. Gardiner Expressway ripped the heart out of Sunnyside. And although the Sunnyside bathing pavilion and 'tank', the beach, and the Palais Royale are still there, (this book) captures a bygone era of red-hots, Downey Flake Donuts, and rides on the mganificent merry-go-round, before small-town quaintness gave way to big-city dreams." Interior - Christmas greetings and date notation in green ink at the top of the title page, otherwise clean and tight with no other ownership marks. Exterior - one tiny soft corner crease, a few faint dents and a faint top-to-bottom crease line on the front cover. . Not Signed. Second Printing. Soft Cover.

All else clean, tight and bright. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 300 pages; A remarkable saga of heroism under fire. DeFelice's account of the American Rangers' baptism of fire two years before D-Day is as compelling as it is provocative. This is military history at its best. --Colonel Cole C. Kingseed. Just months after Pearl Harbor, with America still struggling to bring itself up to fighting strength for World War II, it was decided that a specially-trained force based upon the British commando squads should be formed. They would become known as the Rangers. Before their training was even complete, they would be thrust into the crucible of battle, taking part in a combined Canadian-British assault on the Germanheld French port of Dieppe. The raid was a disaster, and the fight for Dieppe became a slaughter, with horrific Allied losses. Several Rangers were killed or wounded-the first American blood spilled on European soil in the Second World War. Here, drawn from historical records and personal recollections by those who were there, and illustrated with photographs and maps, is the story of those fifty Rangers who found themselves fighting nobly on the front lines in a battle they could not win-and would be lucky to survive. 30058 ., Berkley Caliber Books, 2008, 3<
