Lanham, MD: University Press of America, 1993 vii, 218 pp. Notes, bibliography, index. This book examines the career and influence of the prominent journalist Joseph Alsop, who made his professional debut in 1932 and continued writing into the 1980s. Using his personal papers, pertinent documents, oral histories and interviews, the author traces the evolution of Alsop's foreign policy views and discusses his interaction with Washington D.C.'s decision-making elite. This book reveals that although Alsop was clearly used by the Roosevelt, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations, he also exercised significant influence on these leaders.

Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 1995 xx, 334 pp. Illustrations, chronology, notes, index. This book demystifies the Jefferson of American legend and recovers the 18th-century man of sentiment Thomas Jefferson actually was. The author confronts widespread misunderstandings about Jefferson's romantic life and provides insight into the contradictions that still surround the U.S.'s third president. He shows Jefferson to have been a man of substance and character, yet possessed of a mean streak, alternately strong and frail, convivial and reclusive, ordinary and extraordinary.

Paris / Louvain: Desclee de Brouwer / Bibliotheque de l'Universite, 1943 [Series: Recueil de travaux d'histoire et de philologie; 3e ser., fasc. 14] xl, 460 pp. + 14 plates. Bibliography, footnotes, illustrations, 3 appendices, errata, indices, plates. Main text in French; documents (in appendices) given in original Greek with parallel French translations. In this landmark study, Denissoff presents a study of the life and work of Saint Maxim the Greek, often called the "Enlightener of Russia," with particular focus on his early life and pre-Muscovite works. Born Michael Trivolis (as first revealed in this book by Denissoff), Maxim the Greek (1470-1556) was classically educated in Italy. After teaching and studying there for several years, he became a monk and retired to the monastery of San Marco in 1502. In 1505/6, he seems to have rejected his life in Italy and retreated, never to return, to Mount Athos in Greece (Vatopedi monastery) where he assumed the name "Maxim the Greek." Under the auspices of the Ottoman Porte and by request of the patriarchate, he accepted the position of missionary (1518-1556) to the small Russian state of Muscovy where he set to work translating and correcting errors which had slipped into the Slavonic translations of church texts. Through this work and his spiritual teachings and writings, Maxim the Greek was an important figure in bringing Byzantine culture and Italian Renaissance humanism to the country. His literary legacy was substantial. He was canonized a century after his death. In original wraps. CONDITION: Some chipping to edges of covers and base of spine. Pages untrimmed and unopened. Covers moderately sunned and discolored. Overall, an excellent copy of a rare scholarly work. Sewn binding. OVERSIZED.. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. 18 x 26 cm. more information

New York: Berghahn Books, 2000 xxix, 565 pp. 30 illustrations, footnotes, bibliography, index. Translated into English from the original German. Foreword by John K. Galbraith. Bruno Kreisky (1911-1990) is undoubtedly the most prominent and influential politician to emerge in postwar Austria. For some thirty years, he helped to shape his country's politics and raise its status in the world, first as secretary of state, then as leader of the opposition Social Democratic Party and as foreign minster, and finally as chancellor from 1970 to 1983. During his long tenure of public office, Austria achieved unprecedented levels of prosperity; he promoted electoral and educational reform and weathered the occasional scandal. His analytical mind and intelligence were much appreciated by statesmen in East and West as well as in the academy, as were his deeply felt humanism, integrity, untiring advocacy of tolerance and social justice, and his earnest sense of responsibility. These won him the trust and admiration of the leading international figures of his era, including Tito, Nehru, Nasser, De Gaulle, and Pope John XXIII. His international connections and his position as leader of a non-aligned state allowed him to assume the role of honest broker in international peace, human rights, and development initiatives. His stature enabled him to play an active part in the promotion of the Arab-Israeli dialogue and pave the way for President Jimmy Carter's mediation of the Israeli-Egypt peace accord through his close relationship with Sadat. As a result of such activity, Kreisky was respected and praised by every U.S. administration from Kennedy to Brezhnev, despite his support for the containment of Soviet communism. This annotated volume--a condensed version of the three volumes of the German edition published between 1986 and 1996--gives a fascinating insight into Kreisky's life and his many activities. He lets us participate in the big decisions in which he was involved and shares his encounters with other world leaders of this time. Austria be a small country, but it produced at least one major leader whose lively and immensely readable account and wisdom many readers will find inspiring.

Rochester, NY: Royal Historical Society / Boydell Press, 1998. x, 247 pp. Footnotes, bibliography, index. Thomas Hodgskin was one of the most significant thinkers of nineteenth-century radicalism. An active writer for over fifty years and an associate of Bentham and James Mill amongst others, his life provides a paradigm for understanding the evolution of radicalism from Waterloo to the Second Reform Act. This study rescues him from his marginalisation and mis-casting as an `early English socialist': far from being a socialist, many of his views seem to mark him out as a forerunner of New Right or neo-liberal ideology. Drawing on a range of new sources and reassessing Hodgskin's life and work, the author argues that the crux of Hodgskin's thought was the essentially theological distinction he drew between nature and artifice. Throughout, he makes plain the centrality of providentialism to nineteenth-century radicalism. Minor bumping to base of spine. Minor wear to dustjacket.. First Edition. Hardcover.
