    Book is as described by the photos. Turned out even better than I expected. Very happy with the purchase. The seller shipped the item swiftly. Packaged it extremely well in a strong box with bubble wrap, and made sure the book wasn't moving around inside of the box. Rest assured, this is a good seller that cares about shipping their items well and protected. Incredible price. Shipping cost is fair. Above and beyond. Highly recommended!

    A+++ Ebayer ! I just love anything Remington and 410 gauge so this vintage shotgun shell box was awesome. Shipping was lightning fast, I think as soon ad I hit "buy it now" it was in my mailbox. The price was fair, it was packed better than some of the crystal my girlfriend has bought on ebay, description was absolutely spot on, and the condition is actually better than I expected. It doesn't take much to make me happy these days but this little box really made my day ! A+++++ Thanks so much!

  • An amazing true life story about one soldier's incredible devotion to his country and his duty.

    The story of Hiroo Onoda, a WWII Japanese "holdout" who survived and continued his guerilla mission until 1974, is amazing and compelling. The story is somewhat based on Onoda's autobiography "No Surrender: My Thirty Year War". (see pictures) There are a few minor changes to the story details, but the director and screenwriter stayed pretty true to the narrative. Onoda's devotion to duty was unwavering. As small pieces about the outside world crept in, he and his compatriots, specifically Kozuka, created an entire worldview that explained what they were hearing through the unshakable belief that Japan was still fighting and winning the war. Unlike other Japanese WWII holdouts who emerged somewhat as broken men, Onoda not only thrived in his environment, but he transitioned to, and ...

  • Deluded Honor

    Captivating (auto)biography of this poor, incredibly honorable man who never grew up in many respects but lived a life of self-delusion and exile fighting as a Japanese Army Guerilla against the Allies on a remote Philippine Island for 29 years after WWII ended, ultimately totally alone. He not only survived in a hostile environment but made it more so by preying on "the enemy" and fulfilling his mission despite what seem to us, on the outside looking in, to be obvious truths that he had to dismiss to justify his illicit duty. This is a glimpse into a world of dedication, focus, practicality, principle, sacrifice, ingenuity, self-deception and sadness...
