Washington, DC: Institute for Policy Studies, 1985. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. iii, [1]68 pages. Illustrations. Preface by George McGovern. Several text pages creased. Paperclip mark/impression on several pages. This was produced by the The Central America Crisis Monitoring Team and the members were identified on page ii. Includes Preface and Introduction, as well as chapters on Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. Also includes an appendix on Possible Violations of Law. The authors assert that escalating U.S. involvement in Central America has spawned a credibility gap that threatens the constitutional order. Whether testifying on the state of human rights in El Salvador and Guatemala, the scope of CIA activities targeted against the government of Nicaragua, or the scale of the growing U.S. military buildup in Honduras, Reagan Administration officials have misled Congress about the nature of its activities and goals in Central America. The disturbingly systematic record of such deceit has prompted this report. The weighty accumulation of deception practiced by the Reagan Administration underscores a fundamental reality of United states policy towards Central America: the nature of the regimes and movements bolstered by U.S. Assistance, and the Administration's ultimate policy goals for the entire region, are repugnant to basic U.S. values. It is only through deception that the American people may be beguiled into accepting the current policy, and the Congress may by manipulated into legitimating escalating intervention. More

Washington, DC: The Folger Shakespeare Library, 1961. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. [2], 58, [4] pages plus covers. This is one of the Folger Booklets on Tudor and Stuart Civilization, part of a series planned by the Forger Library to describe various aspects of the cultural history of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Each of the pamphlets will be illustrated from contemporary documents. This book includes references for further reading, as well as 23 black and white plates, including The History, Siege, and Destruction of Troy, 1513; The Gunner, 1628; and A Treatise of Artificial Fireworks, 1629. Firearms were introduced near the beginning of the fourteenth century. They did not determine the fortunes of war on the battle until early in the sixteenth century, but they had proved effective in siege work a century before, and had captured the imagination of writers and illustrates even earlier. Fifteenth-century manuscripts containing histories of the Middle Ages and the Crusades and the texts of classical historians were illuminated with battle and siege scenes in which handguns and cannons blazed away with a fine disregard for historical accuracy. Sir John Rigby Hale FBA (17 September 1923 – 12 August 1999) was a British historian, best known for his Renaissance studies. Hale was was educated at Jesus College, Oxford. He was a Fellow of the British Academy and Emeritus Professor of Italian History at University College, London. His first position was as Fellow and Tutor in Modern History at Jesus College, Oxford, from 1949 to 1964. He was a Trustee of the National Gallery, London, from 1973 to 1980, becoming Chairman from 1974. He was made a Knight Bachelor in 1984. More

New York: E. P. Dutton & Company, 1917. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Hardcover. Pocket-sized (4.75 inches by 6.25 inches), 142, [2] Pages. Illustrations. Maps. Figures. Corners of some pages bumped. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The authors were Inspector Instructors in the U. S. Army Field Artillery. One of the authors rose to the rank of Major General in the United States Army. Dawson was Chief Signal Officer during the major portion of World War II, and presided over a momentous buildup of the Signal Corps. With a budget that grew from nine million in 1941, to more than five billion in 1943, Olmstead turned to both the Signal Corps laboratories and the private sector to meet the demands of total war. With the assistance of an advisory council of reserve officers and a civilian advisory board comprised of key figures in the communications industry, Olmstead brought the Signal Corps to wartime footing. Accomplishments included activating hundreds of Signal units and training thousands of officers and enlisted personnel in a reorganized Signal School. Olmstead's illustrious career blossomed in the 1920s and flourished during the depression years of the 1930s. However, it was during World War II that Olmstead's talent and vision won him the Distinguished Service Medal. His colleague may have been the John Hammond who also rose to the rank of General and became the owner of the New York Rangers. More

Hess (Ph.D., Purdue University, 1986) is a leading author of military histories of the Civil War. After terms at the University of Georgia, Texas Tech University, and the University of Arkansas, he settled at Lincoln Memorial University, in Harrogate, Tenn., in 1989, where he holds the Stewart McClelland Chair. Hess has published nearly twenty books and more than 120 journal articles and academic reviews. Dr. Hess's books offer new insights on Civil War battles and campaigns, and also focus on thematic topics such as the use of weapons, tactics, and transportation in the Civil War. He has been called "the premier military historian of the Civil War" and his work has garnered praise for its "combination of adroit writing, high intelligence, and well-reasoned but unabashed judgments". Readers will find that his books offer perspectives on both the Union and Confederate experience, and also reveal the driving motivations of combat soldiers, whether serving under Grant or Lee. Civil War Infantry Tactics won the Tom Watson Brown Book Award, Society of Civil War Historians, 2016 and was a Finalist for the Lincoln Prize, 2016. More
