Octavo, brown boards (hardcover), gilt lettering, xvi, 329 pp. Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket with previous seller sticker affixed. From dust jacket: A man of as many names as motives, Edward Bancroft is a singular figure in the history of Revolutionary America. Born in Massachusetts in 1745, Bancroft moved to England in the late 1760s and began building a respectable resume as both a scientist and a man of letters. In recognition of his works in natural history, Brancroft was unanimously elected to the Royal Society. He traveled to France in 1776 and, while working to secure French aid for the American Revolution, became a close associate of such luminaries as Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and the Marquis de Lafayette. Though lauded in his time as a staunch American patriot, when the British diplomatic archives were opened in the late nineteenth century, it was revealed the Bancroft led a secret life as a British agent acting against French and American interests. In this book, the first complete biography of Bancroft, historian Thomas J. Schaeper reveals the full extent of the agent's deception during the crucial years of the American Reovlution. Operating under aliases, working in ciphers, and leaving coded messages in a tree in Paris's Tuileries Gardens, Bancroft filtered information from unsuspecting figures including Franklin and Adams back to his contacts in Britain, navigating a complicated web of political allegiances. Through Schaeper's keen analysis of diplomatic records and Bancroft's correspondence, this biography reveals whether Bancroft should ultimately be considered a traitor to America or a patriot to Britain.

Octavo, black boards (hardcover), gilt letters, 169 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: This brilliant new work by the author of the best-selling Five Days in London, May 1940 is an unparalleled drama of two great leaders confronting each other in June 1941. It describes Hitler and Stalin's strange, calculating, and miscalculating relationship before the German invasion of Soviet Russia, with its gigantic (and unintended) consequences. John Lukacs questions many long-held beliefs. He suggests, for example, that among othre things Hitler's first purpose involved England: if Stalin's Communist Russia were to be defeated, Hitler's Third Reich would be well-nigh invincible, and the British and American peoples would be forced to rethink the war against Hitler. The book offers penetrating insights and a new portrait of Hitler and Stalin, moved by their long-lasting inclinations. Yet among other things, Lukacs presents evidence that Hitler (rather than his generals) had moments of dark foreboding before the invasion. Stalin could not, because he wished not, believe that Hitler would choose the risk of a two-front war by attacking him; he was stunned and shocked and came close to a breakdown. But he recovered, grew into a statesman, and eventually became a prime victor of the Second World War. Such are the ironies of history; John Lukacs paints them with a shining narrative skill.

Octavo, softbound (slick, full-color illus. wrappers), vii, 248 pp. Fine. From Introduction: Millennium is an old word that carries with it heavy historical, religious and anthropological freight. But the word 'century' (siecle in Frenc) is modern both in conception and in use. It is a quite different kind of time unit from the season, the reign or even the era. It was in the seventeenth century that the present and previous centuries began to be compared with each other, but it was not until the nineteenth that the phrase fin de siecle was first used. This was the period when history developed as a subject of research and of daily reference. Its time span was lengthened and its range broadened to cover economics and politics, society and culture. At the end of our twentieth century, which has defied most nineteenth-century forecasting of what it would be like, there is more concern about a new millennium than about a new century: in Britain, there is even a Millennium Fund looking for imaginative projects to support. In many quarters the arrival of a new millennium is awaited less with eager expectation than with a sense of resigned and even fatalistic inevitability, yet there have been strident warnings of imminent cataclysm.
