About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, 1961. James Monahan....Senior Editor, the Reader's Digest. This is the story of Tom Dooley's last days, told largely by those who were nearest to him beginning with the eye witnessed cancer operation in Aug/59 and ending with the sounding of taps in a snowbound cemetery on January 23, 1961. James Monahan worked closely with Dr. Dooley during 1955-60 and was able to observe many facets of his personality: his dedication to the poor, the sick, and the oppressed people of Southeast Asia, his impetuous, his healthy egotism and his sincerity. The result is a human document which presents Tom Dooley as the dedicated person he was. Blue cloth boards. Name to ffep. Price-intact photo dust jacket.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
