| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "...This interview with Hugh John "Pat" Casey--seventh in the series of Engineer Memoirs--is the second that features distinguished World War II Corps of Engineers generals. It is a part of the Army's commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of that war.
This volume is an edited version of the tape-recorded interview conducted by Dr. John T. Greenwood, then Chief of the Historical Division, with General Casey at his summer home in Bradford, Vermont, from 25 to 29 September 1979. Before his death on 30 August 1981, General Casey reviewed and revised the entire transcript of the interview.
Pat Casey's remembrances are published because his reflections on a lifetime of successes in military and civil works assignments produce a valuable perspective for present and future decisions by the Corps of Engineers." - From the Foreword
- Summary, etc. - "This is a very long and indepth interview with Maj. Gen. Hugh J. Casey. In 1941-42 he was the head of the Engineer Department in the Philippines. Prior to the war he had also served in the P.I. during the 1930s. In the interview he recounts both periods. He was evacuated with Col. Joseph McMicking in March 1942...
Hugh Casey went on to serve with MacArthur in Australia and on the return to the Philippines. The interview includes this time period too. The interview spans his entire career." - Will Walker
