Farrar, Straus and Young. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1951. Hard Cover. [10], 336 pages, illustrations, cloth, dj, very good. From the dust jacket: "On April 11, 1951, a memorable and momentous conflict got under way. On one level, it was a conflict between a General of the Army and his commander-in-chief, the President of the United States. On another, and far more important level, it was, as the authors of this book say, a war for the American mind. In this readable and objective - objective but by no means neutral - book, the story of that conflict is told and its issues elucidated and appraised. In addition, the authors have prepared a searching biographical sketch of Douglas MacArthur, a study of the fall of China, and a penetrating essay on the future of America.

Hicksville, NY: Exposition Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1977. First Edition. Hard Cover. 0682488011 . 159 pages, cloth, dj, very good. 1st edition. From the dust jacket: Jean-Jacques Sensoir is the pseudonym of an American writer of Anglo-French ancestry who has traveled extensively throughout the world, has lived in Europe, has spent considerable time in the communist East, and has friends in many countries, both East and West. The necessity for writing this book under a pseudonym becomes obvious at the onset. For what unfolds is not fiction; it is the report of conversations that transpired between the author and two highly placed individuals in sensitive positions at the Warsaw Pact Conference in 1973. Plans disclosed during the exchange include state secrets so confidential that if identities were known, the individuals and their families could be in grave peril." . more information

From the back cover: With the end of the cold war and the demise of the Warsaw Pact, many people have questioned the long-term rationale for NATO. For the foreseeable future, however, uncertainty about the fate of the Soviet Union and latent instabilities in Eastern Europe will ensure support for the alliance. Although NATO has begun to adapt to the radically changed situation in Europe, it must do more than reduce forces and reform military doctrine. If NATO is to serve its members' security interests and contribute to peace and stability, it must also reorient its command system, turning away from the dramatically diminished likelihood of deliberate aggression to take on the challenge of regional crisis management and conflict prevention. Accordingly, Stares presents specific recommendations for achieving this fundamental shift in priority. . more information

From the publisher: an astonishing tale of bureaucratic infighting, ideological conflict, and personal antagonisms that makes clear for the first time not only how, but exactly why, the most vital negotiations of our times - the arms control talks between the United States and the Soviet Union - collapsed into dangerous stalemate. As a vivid picture of the real workings of the U.S. government, as a powerful argument against permitting desperately important policy to be shaped in a leadership vacuum, Deadly Gambit is a revelation.

He studied in France and Germany, served as attaché in St. Petersburg, and toured Europe. While teaching history at the Univ. of Michigan, he developed the idea of a university detached from all sects and parties and free to pursue truth without deference to dogma. After his father died (1860) he returned (1863) to New York a comparatively rich man. He sat in the New York state senate and was chairman of the education committee, which dealt with the founding of a land-grant college. With the financial aid of a fellow senator, Ezra Cornell, the land grant was made available for the institution that became Cornell Univ. White, as first president, expanded the institution to teach not only agriculture and mechanical arts but also other fields of knowledge. He was one of the first educators to use the system of free elective studies. As Cornell was nonsectarian, the charge of “godlessness” was made against it. White, a practicing Episcopalian, maintained that freedom was beneficial to religion and wrote his History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom (1896) and Seven Great Statesmen in the Warfare of Humanity with Unreason (1910) to develop his concept of free inquiry. Later White was minister to Germany and to Russia .He was also ambassador to Germany and was chairman of the American delegation to the First Hague Conference (1899). He persuaded Andrew Carnegie to build the Palace of Justice to house the Hague Tribunal.' . more information
