deadly struggleto contemporary Afghanistan. Jane Lambert discovers that her
French doctor husband is really a KGB agent plotting to entrap a rebel leader.

America Is in the Heart (Washington Papers) Paperback –
January 1, 1973 by Carlos Bulosan
First published in 1946, this autobiography of the
well-known Filipino poet describes his boyhood in the Philippines, his voyage
to America, and his years of hardship and despair as an itinerant laborer
following the harvest trail in the rural West.
"America came to him in a public ward in the Los
Angeles County Hospital while around him men died gasping for their last bit of
air, and he learned that while America could be cruel it could also be
immeasurably kind. . . . For Carlos Bulosan no lifetime could be long enough in
which to explain to America that no man could destroy his faith in it again. He
wanted to contribute something toward the final fulfillment of America. So he
wrote this book that holds the bitterness of his own blood." - Carlos P.
Romulo, New York Times
"The premier text of the Filipino-American
experience." - Greg Castilla
