Description: James Ramsey Ullman confesses that he would not make a good window-cleaner. He is afraid of high places! Considering that he has climbed up and around a great many mountains in his day and written three books and many short stories about mountain climbing with pick and rope, his friends tend to attribute this confession to poetic license. Alpine and Andes peaks, Mexican volcanoes, the most famous mountains in the Tetons and the Canadian Rockies are among the coverages of his mountaineering career. His passion for mountains led him, in 1941, to write High Conquest, a story of mountaineering. The White Tower is a book that was "going around in his mind" all during a year in Africa with the American Field Service. On his return home, he worked eleven straight months to write it. It is the story of five men and one woman who face the challenge of an unconquered mountain, each hoping to find at its summit the answer to his own need. This book became another of Mr. Ullman's best sellers. This special edition of THE WHITE TOWER by fames Ramsey Ullman has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia. Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., a non-profit organization established by the Council on Rooks in Wartime
