I was wondering if anyone knew how I might be able to find the value of this WWII document. It was published by the Tenth Army and details the surrender of the Ryukyus Islands. The back two pages contains autographs from troops of the Tenth Army including the Commanding General Joseph W Stilwell. Please see the two attached pictures for a brief idea of the book. It has a total of 16 pages.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
