Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - When Army Chief Warrant Officer Anthony Tobias taps Pfc Smith to drive him to the scene of a murder, it is the start of a singular collaboration. Propelled by the inexplicable death of an officer's young wife, their adventure leads them down the cobblestone lanes of medieval Nürnberg and across the rolling hills of Bavaria, through the seamy underside of Europe's sex industry and against the dress-right mentality of an American combat battalion, and at last into the secret heart of violence and despair. It is an experience for Smith that ranges from the intellectual to the sublime and from hilarity to horror, and it is a showcase for the extraordinary talents of Chief Tobias. On thing is certain: they will never forget The Officer's Wife. Neither will you.…

Offered here is a unique collection of original photographs of San Antonio debutantes, all wearing characteristically elaborate Coronation gowns that were accompanied by incredibly long trains (some of which can measure up to 18 feet long, and with the dresses may weigh up to 85 pounds). Months of secrecy surrounded the royal robe fittings and headpiece selections. The coronation of the Queen, who was chosen annually by the all-white members of the Order of the Alamo, was -- and is -- a major event. "Fiesta San Antonio" (as it is now known) began in 1891 to honor the memory of those who fought at the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. It has become a ten-day festival held annually in April with over 100 events. Fiesta has been bitterly criticized for its association with exclusively white organizations that for decades have been intimately involved with it. Indeed, some claim that Fiesta "celebrates white supremacy." The all-white Order of the Alamo and the Texas Cavaliers hold rituals in the Alamo church, and crown royalty from their own membership "who preside over brown subjects." Lilliana Saldana has stated that "Anglo elite place themselves as sort of cultural guardians of the city of San Antonio, which is why they have this fake monarchy, and they have pseudo military." As we learn from Michaele Thurgood Haynes' "Dressing Up Debutantes: Pageantry and Glitz in Texas" (1998): Fiesta San Antonio "is the annual debutante pageant presented by a men's social organization, the Order of the Alamo, and referred to by participants simply as Coronation. The twenty-six young women are living out a fantasy held dear by many little girls -- to be a "fairy princess" in a beautiful dress sparkling in the spotlight of affection and attention. Most girls never get to be the princess, or even a duchess, but in San Antonio the fantasy can be played out if one not only has the discretionary income to purchase the required costumes and props but, more importantly, is also a member of the Anglo aristocracy. The term "aristocrat" is specifically used with its connotations of consanguineous or affinal kinship that are not found in the terms "elite" or "upper class." The queen and most of the other court members have royal genealogies with mothers, aunts, and grandmothers having held similar positions. Unlike beauty pageants, in which young women are chosen on the basis of personal characteristics, [San Antonio Fiesta] Coronation royalty hold ascribed positions. [.] Coronation is an overwhelmingly Anglo and upper-class event in a city with a more than 60 percent Hispanic population." THE 1971 FIESTA: Many (but not all) of the photos are of participants in the 1971 "Court of Gardens." The San Antonio Express reported that: "This year for the first time, there are two mistresses of the robes. Mrs. Wilson Carter Jr. and Mrs. Frederic Oppenheimer worked together to carefully coordinate the theme, color and suitability of each gown for the young woman who will wear it. Handling the heavy trains is quite a feat, and each duchess must make a sweeping bow as the climax of her brief moment in the spotlight. Weeks of practice beforehand make a graceful production" (18 April 1971, p. 101). But there are other decorative themes besides Gardens, leading us to postulate that other the photographs may also include Fiesta Coronations besides that of 1971. We find one oriental ensemble, a Franciscan monk (Court of Our Heritage 1972?), a field of fleurs-de-lis and crossed swords (ditto?), a child swinging at a pinata (ditto?), a telephone, and two gowns depicting playing cards. The 21 photographs sh.…
