Seller's Description:
Very good. Octavo, 342pp., illustrated. A very good copy in the publisher's tan cloth, lacking the dust jacket. Spine faded, and a touch of foxing to the edges. This copy SIGNED and warmly INSCRIBED by Romulo on the front free endpaper in the year of publication to Pittsburgh philanthropist and U. S. Army General Richard K Mellon: "To General RIchard K. Mellon with the best wishes and high personal regard and esteem of the author, Carlos P. Romulo Sept. 5, 1961 Washington (8), D. C." Romulo was a major figure in both the US and Philippine militaries, serving as an aide to Douglas MacArthur during World War II. He later served as an Ambassador from the Philippines to the United States, as well as in other diplomatic roles. Mellon, who served in both world wars, was a scion of the prominent Mellon family of Pittsburgh, and was a major figure in the postwar urban renewal efforts in that city. Uncommon with such a lengthy inscription to a prominent figure.

Good. No DJ present. 22 cm, [6], 342, [2] pages. Illustrations. Rear fep torn out. Ex-library with usual markings. Tape marks. Pencil erasure resildue on fep. Carlos Peņa Romulo, QSC PLH (14 January 1898-15 December 1985) was a Filipino diplomat, statesman, soldier, journalist and author. He was a reporter at 16, a newspaper editor by the age of 20, and a publisher at 32. He was a co-founder of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, a general in the US Army and the Philippine Army, university president, President of the UN General Assembly, was eventually named one of the Philippines' National Artists in Literature, and was the recipient of many other honors and honorary degrees. His hometown is Camiling, Tarlac and he studied at the Camiling Central Elementary School during his basic education. I Walked with Heroes is an autobiographical book written by Carlos P. Romulo, a former Philippine general, journalist, poet, story writer, diplomat, former resident commissioner to Washington, D.C., former Philippine ambassador to the United States, and former President of the United Nations General Assembly. In I Walked with Heroes, Romulo personally reviewed his boyhood, early life, school days, and career in which he presented the facts and events with "frankness, intimacy, sense of person-to-person communication". It included Romulo's memories of his parents and the first time he met the Americans in the person of soldiers stationed in Camiling, his native town in Tarlac. The time was during the Philippine War of Independence. The nameless soldier taught Romulo and other Filipino boys how to read and write in English using Edward Baldwin's Primer. Romulo also narrated his life in Manila when he was both a morning-time student and an evening-time news reporter. A part of the book mentioned how Romulo was praised by then President of the Philippine Senate Manuel L. Quezon after writing a news item against Quezon's political opponents. In the pages of the autobiography, the reader would find that Romulo was comfortable in employing humor such as "telling jokes on himself", particularly in reference to his height to make the reader enjoy his writing. The book revealed Romulo's "unfailing faith in mankind"
