ohne Auflage Der Minenkrieg in Ladinien (Col die Lana) 1915-1916. Schriftenreihe zur Zeitgeschichte Tirols Band 10. "Die Kämpfe um diesen Berg und seine Sprengung scheinen ausreichend beschrieben zu sein. Und doch: Das Studium der Feldakten der beteiligten deutschen und österreichisch-ungarischen Truppen brachten vieles noch zu Tage, was bisher ausgelassen wurde. Auch die vorhandene Literatur ließ noch den einen oder anderen neuen Schluß zu. Darüber hinaus wollte der Autor eine Synthese zwischen dem militärischen Geschehen und dem Terrain des Berges herstellen und dem Wanderer die Gelegenheit verschaffen, die Reste der alten Stellungen weitgehendst zu erkennen und zu beurteilen." Inhalt: Vorwort; Landkarten; Italien und Österreich-Ungarn im Krieg; Das Alpenkorps am Col die Lana; Die Kaiserjäger am Col die Lana; Die Landesschützen auf dem Col di Lana; Die Kaiserjäger und der Minenkrieg; Die Mine und der 17.

The jacket is price-clipped and has minor edgewear and shelfwear. JMVintage specializes in books, magazines and ephemera related to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor..and other curious subjects. The dust jacket reads: The most intimate possible remembrance of her tempestuous life and tragic death. Here is the book that only Natalie Wood's sister could have written-a warm but unflinchingly candid account of a great star's passionate love affairs, violent fights, stormy marriages, bitter divorces, and of her controversial death by drowning at the age of forty-three, stunning a nation that adored her. Natalie Wood emerges as an implusive, sometime reckless person-never free of the limelight from the age of five-who could rise to heights of ferocity that made Medea look like Marjoir Morningstar. The tumultuous love affair with Warren Beatty resounded with screams when he was late-or unfaithful. When Beatty popped back into her life, she refused to make Bonnie and Clyde because she was afraid to leave her psychiatrist, thus relinquishing a prime role to Faye Dunaway in a catastrophic career miscalculation. Of Natalie's two marriages to Robert Wagner, her sister says: "They had to live out the dream the world had imagined for them whether or not it went sour." Natalie's divorce from her second husband, Richard Gregson, rocked Hollywood. Lana, urging reconciliation, infuriated Natalie, who hissed, "Did that ------- talk you in coming her and saying this?" In Warren Beatty and others, the Wood sisters-Lana a bosomy sexpot, Natalie a dark-eyed seductress-sometimes shared lovers and compared notes. Natalie wanted to know what kind of lover Ryan O'Neal was and Lana, an expert on the subject, replied, "H was like have a glass of champagne without knowing too much about the various brands of champagne. Special, that is, but not a whole lot more." Lana would not have the same reservations during peak experiences with Alain Delon and Sean Connery, but Natalie complained of Elvis Presley, "He can sing but he can't do much else." Natalie's friendships with Steve McQueen, James Dean, John Wayne, Nicky Hilton, Robert Redford, Nick Adams, Dennis Hopper, Tommy Thompson, and Christopher Walker also figure in this star-studded narrative. Revealed her for the first time are Natalie Wood's near fatal suicide attempt, her weight problem that led to pills and mood swings, her drinking and anxiety over aging and bad roles, and her valiant plans for a comeback on the stage. "You know what I want?" she asked Lana near the end. "I want yesterday." "I cry for her often," Lana concludes. "I expect I always will." Hard Cover condition: Very Good in Very Good dj

The book is in VERY GOOD++ condition with bumped bottom back corner corners and small stain to front bottom board. The dust jacket is VERY GOOD with minor edge/shelf wear/clhipping, dogeared inside back flap edge. NOT price-clipped. NOT remaindered. JMVINTAGE specializes in books, magazines and treasures related to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor....and other curious people. Dust jacket notes read: "She was the Sweater Girl, provocatively sexy but with a small-town winsomeness-a combination that meant dynamite at the box office. She was the image of coolness and glamour, in diamonds and white fur, but she always drew the hottest, blackest headlines. Even before her teenage elopement with the mercurial Artie Shaw, her private life was considered public property. Now, at last, in this long awaited autobiography, Lana Turner separates fact from gossip-sparing no one, least of all herself-to reveal the sometimes humorous, often heartbreaking reality of the life behind the legend. With the face of an angel and the body of an alluring woman, Lana Turner was one of the greatest natural beauties in screen history-and a hardworking actress as well. From her first small part in They Won't Forget, which she thought was 'just a job,' she rose quickly to become MGM's top female star. She created classic roles in The Postman Always Rings Twice (still called one of the steamiest films ever made, despite the censors); Peyton Place, for which she received an Academy Award nomination; and Imitation of Life. Her story captures life on the set during Hollywood's golden days, and is studded with anecdotes about her dashing leading men, among them Robert Taylor, Clark Gable, John Garfield, and Spencer Tracy; the MGM brass, her famous directors, and her friends, including Mervyn LeRoy and Pop Leonard, Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra. Lana Turner had everything-or did she? 'I expected to have one husband and seven babies,' she says, but it would turn out the other way around. Trouble came early and often involved a man, some notable, like her beloved Tyrone Power, and one notorious, John Stompanato, when trouble would turn to tragedy. There would be a bout with alcohol and depression, but with humor and spunk she would fight back to become the 'new woman' she is today-'more disciplined, less gullible and persuadable ... taking responsibility for my life.' Told with relentless honesty by the woman who lived it, here is the explosive and touching story of the very real human being behind the myth-from the innocent fifteen-year-old who was discovered at a Hollywood soda fountain to the Dream Factory's most glamorous, most provocative star." 1/4 cloth condition: Very Good in Very Good (Price-Clipped) DJ
