Soft cover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. [iv]+178+[1 ad] pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Translated by Otto Hardy. First English edition. For all keen chess players who dread meeting 1 d4, here is your answer in the shape of an original group of related systems, exotically named 'Vulture', 'Hawk' and Woozle', created by the German FIDE Master, Stefan Bucker, who startled the chess world by launching his own hypermodern defensive concept to counter a white first move he hated so much. Despite meeting initial skepticism, Bucker's unusual mixture of tactics and strategy fired the imagination of a wide range of players, including international Master, who contributed their own ideas to forge a redoubtable weapon in Black's Armory. This completely revised and up-dated English edition is a 'must' for all those players who wish to escape from the stultifying effects of 'main-line' analysis of Queen's Pawn Openings, and enter the relatively unexplored habitat of the Vulture!

A world without Jews: the Nazi imagination from persecution to genocide. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2014, 1st printing number line ending with 1, xv, 284pp., . "Why exactly did the Nazis burn the Hebrew Bible everywhere in Germany on November 9, 1938? The perplexing event has not been adequately accounted for by historians in their large-scale assessments of how and why the Holocaust occurred. In this gripping new analysis, Alon Confino draws on an array of archives across three continents to propose a penetrating new assessment of one of the central moral problems of the twentieth century. To a surprising extent, Confino demonstrates, the mass murder of Jews during the war years was powerfully anticipated in the culture of the prewar years. The author shifts his focus away from the debates over what the Germans did or did not know about the Holocaust and explores instead how Germans came to conceive of the idea of a Germany without Jews. He traces the stories the Nazis told themselves-where they came from and where they were heading-and how those stories led to the conclusion that Jews must be eradicated in order for the new Nazi civilization to arise. The creation of this new empire required that Jews and Judaism be erased from Christian history, and this was the inspiration--and justification--for Kristallnacht. As Germans imagined a future world without Jews, persecution and extermination became imaginable, and even justifiable" - CONTENTS: A New Beginning by Burning Books -- Origins, Eternal and Local -- Imagining the Jews as Everywhere and Already Gone -- Burning the Book of Books -- The Coming of the Flood -- Imagining a Genesis -- Epilogue: A World with Jews.

King of kings: the Iranian revolution : a story of hubris, delusion and catastrophic miscalculation. New York: Doubleday, 2025, 4th printing, xxiii, 481pp., . "A stunningly revelatory narrative history of one of the most momentous events in modern times, the jaw-dropping stupidity of the American government, and the dawn of the age of religious nationalism"-- Provided by publisher., "On New Year's Eve, 1977, on a state visit to Iran, President Jimmy Carter toasted Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, King of Kings, Light of the Aryans, Shadow of God on Earth, praising Iran as "an island of stability" due to "your leadership and the respect and admiration and love which your people give to you." Iran had the world's fifth largest army and was awash in billions of dollars in oil revenues. Construction cranes dotted the skyline of its booming capital, Tehran. The regime's feared secret police force SAVAK had crushed communist opposition, and the Shah had bought off the conservative Muslim clergy inside the country. He seemed invulnerable, and invaluable to the United States as an ally in the Cold War. Fourteen months later the Shah fled Iran into exile, forced from the throne by a volcanic religious revolution led by a fiery cleric named Ayatollah Khomeini. The ensuing hostage crisis forever damaged America's standing in the world. How could the United States, which had one of the largest CIA stations in the world and thousands of military personnel in Iran, have been so blind? The spellbinding story Scott Anderson weaves is one of a dictator blind to the disdain of his subjects and a superpower blundering into disaster. Scott Anderson tells this astonishing tale with the narrative brio, mordant wit, and keen analysis that made his bestselling Lawrence of Arabia one of the key texts in understanding the modern Middle East. The Iranian Revolution, Anderson convincingly argues, was as world-shattering an event as the French and Russian revolutions. In the Middle East, in India, in Southeast Asia, in Europe, and now in the United States, the hatred of economically-marginalized, religiously-fervent masses for a wealthy secular elite has led to violence and upheaval -- and Iran was the template. King of Kings is a bravura work of history, and a warning.". ISBN 9780385548076. …

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 268 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's quarter blue cloth with white lettering to spine over pink boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Poodle Springs is a unique literary collaboration published by G.P. Putnam's Sons. When original author Raymond Chandler passed away in 1959, he left behind only the first four chapters of this seventh Philip Marlowe detective novel. To honor the centenary of Chandler's birth, his estate commissioned acclaimed crime fiction novelist Robert B. Parker to step in and finish the manuscript in his signature style. The iconic original cover art features a classic pulp noir illustration of a detective in a fedora standing alongside a glamorous woman. The legendary, cynical private eye Philip Marlowe has finally settled down and married wealthy heiress Linda Loring. They relocate from the grit of Los Angeles to the lavish desert enclave of "Poodle Springs" (a thinly veiled pseudonym for Palm Springs). Refusing to become a kept man, Marlowe takes a job tracking down a photographer who ran out on a massive gambling debt, quickly pulling him right back into a dangerous web of bigamy, blackmail, and murder.
