This collection of 15 stories by four authors "is not an anthology," claims the jacket blurb, but rather a selection by each of the four "from their recent work the stories they think most highly of, and they are published together here because the four authors like the idea of appearing in public side by side, and of being read in counterpoint, as it were." Contents are as follows. Jean Stafford: "The Liberation"; "Bad Characters"; "Beatrice Trueblood's Story"; "In the Zoo"; "Maggie Meriwether's Rich Experience." John Cheever: "The Day the Pig Fell Into the Well"; "The Bus to St. James's"; "The Country Husband"; "The National Pastime."

(price-clipped) [slightly bumped at bottom corners, otherwise a nice clean copy with minor shelfwear; jacket has a number of small chips along top and bottom edges and at top of spine]. The fantasy author's "serious" book, a small-racist-Southern-town novel that served as the basis for a remarkably effective low-budget, shot-on-location film adaptation by Roger Corman, released in 1961, with William Shatner as a rabble-rousing outsider who comes into town and makes a whole lotta trouble for everybody.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Ronald Clyne (Jacket Design) (illustrator). First Printing [Stated]. x, 685, [7] pages. Notes. Index. DJ has some wear and soiling. Gabriel Morris Kolko (August 17, 1932 - May 19, 2014) was an American historian. His research interests included American capitalism and political history, the Progressive Era, and U.S. foreign policy in the 20th century. One of the best-known revisionist historians to write about the Cold War, he had also been credited as "an incisive critic of the Progressive Era and its relationship to the American empire." Kolko's thesis "that businessmen favored government regulation because they feared competition and desired to forge a government-business coalition" is one that is echoed by many observers today. The Politics of War, was described as "the most thorough and extensive of the 'revisionist' views of American foreign policy during World War II." Derived from a Kirkus review: The roots of American postwar foreign policy, examined in terms of origin, evolution, and ultimate premises. Professor Kolko moves from domestic American history to the international arena in a detailed account of America's participation in power politics that culminated in Potsdam and Yalta. Beginning with 1943--because previously the Allies were engrossed in military rather than political maneuvers--Kolko relates the conflicts that strained the Anglo-American alliance: What emerges is a view of the American stance as conservative and, in effect, somewhat blind to the ideological changes that were imminent. Kolko's scholarship is exhaustive--(it is a long book for two interim years) and many of his conclusions are new. Anglo-American wrangling is well-known, but the degree of disagreement (they shared only the policy of anti-communism) will startle Kolko's readers, an academic audience, as will some of his observations about the origins of the cold war.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Ronald Clyne (illustrator). First Edition. [nice clean book, slight fading to cloth along top edges of covers, slight bumping to upper corners, and with the binding very slightly torqued (it will be fine after it sits up straight on your shelves); the jacket is slightly age-toned, with just a touch of wear along the top edge and a short closed tear at the top of the rear panel]. (B&W photographs) Rip-roaring memoir by the veteran director who began his career as an actor in the silent days (he played John Wilkes Booth in D.W. Griffith's THE BIRTH OF A NATION), but soon established himself as one of those "man's man" directors that Hollywood used to specialize in. (His career as an actor, which continued into the 1920s, was derailed when he lost his right eye in a freak car accident on location in Arizona in 1929.) He was just about the perfect "house director" for Warner Bros., where he spent much of his career and made enormous contributions to the drive and pace of studio product, particularly in the gangster and western genres, with films like THE ROARING TWENTIES, HIGH SIERRA, THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON, DARK COMMAND, WHITE HEAT, etc. (The writing of this memoir, as well as William Wellman's, which appeared the same year, seems to have been prompted in part by the directors' participation in Richard Schickel's 1973 documentary/interview series "The Men Who Made the Movies.") This was a review copy, and has the original publisher's slip laid in at the front. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Illustrated by Clyne, Ronald (illustrator). First Edition. "Stern describes the whole course of U.S. policy in Greece and Turkey regarding the Cyprus crisis of 1974. He shows how and why we encouraged and supported the colonels' coup in Greece, and how this policy brought the two countries - America's chief NATO allies in the eastern Mediterranean - to the brink of war with each other. Cyrprus was divided, lives were lost and the potential for war remains. Stern argues these events cast a new and garish light on the credibility and competence of Henry Kissinger and ultimately brought into question the inherent contradictions in American foreign policy in general. A book deeply relevanant to ongoing policy, to our disconcerting attitudes of apathy and intervention in the Third World, and to the requirements of economic and political stability on which world peace is contingent." - dust jacket. x, 170 p.
