Yehoshafat Harkabi (born 1921, Haifa; died 1994, Jerusalem) was chief of Israeli military intelligence from 1955 until 1959 and afterwards a professor of International Relations and Middle East Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Harkabi had a command of Arabic, a knowledge of Arab civilization and history, and an understanding of Islam. He developed from an uncompromising hardliner to supporter of a Palestinian state who recognized the PLO as a negotiations partner. In his well-known work Israel's Fateful Hour, hei described himself as a "Machiavellian dove" intent on searching "for a policy by which Israel can get the best possible settlement"--a policy that would include a Zionism "of quality and not of acreage". Harkabi resigned as chief of Military Intelligence as a consequence of the 1959 Night of the Ducks. Following his military career, Harkabi was Maurice Hexter professor and director of the Leonard Davis Institute of International Relations and Middle East Studies at Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

After graduating from Harvard University in 1947, Mr. Harris began working at A. Harris & Company, a family-owned department store founded in 1886 in Dallas by his grandfather Adolph Harris. A. Harris was sold to Federated Department Stores, which owns Macy's. Mr. Harris published a children's book, ''The Night Before Christmas -- in Texas,'' a parody of the Clement Clark Moore poem. He turned to writing full time after the family business was sold. ''The Fine Art of Political Wit,'' which traced the history of political humor since the 18th century, was published in 1964. He followed with two biographies: ''Only to God: The Extraordinary Life of Godfrey Lowell Cabot,'' about the industrialist and philanthropist, which was published in 1967, and ''Upton Sinclair, American Rebel,'' about the writer and social reformer, published in 1975. In 1979, Mr. Harris wrote a history of some of America's most successful Jewish businessmen, ''Merchant Princes: An Intimate History of Jewish Families Who Built Great Department Stores.'' In a review in The New York Times, Christopher Lehmann-Haupt described the book as a freewheeling narrative that used the stories of the Filenes of Boston, the Riches of Atlanta, the Rosenwalds of Chicago and the Marcuses of Dallas, among others, to explore Jewish life, philanthropy and anecdotes. The book, the review said, was ''sturdy enough to hold regional history, gossip, personal reminiscences and a history of the art and science of department-store merchandising.''. More

New York: Random House, 1981. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing--based on Random House practice. Hardcover. xxxiii, [1], 167, [7] pages. Format is approximately 11.25 inches by 9 inches. Illustrations. DJ worn, torn, and chipped. Several blank back pages are creased. Many scholars of the Holocaust have come to believe that when a Holocaust survivor tells a story that sounds too incredible to be true, it may be just that: the truth. Such is the story of Lili Zelmanovic (Lili Jacob Meier) and her photo album. 18-year-old Lili Jacob was deported with her family, and most of the Jews of Hungary, in the spring of 1944. She was lucky and survived. She was granted a small miracle. On the day of her liberation, she found in the deserted SS barracks a photo album. It contained, among others, pictures of her family and friends as they arrived on the ramp and unknowingly awaited their death. It is the only photographic evidence of Jews arriving in Auschwitz or any other death camp. After the war, Lili found and married Max Zelmanovic, a prewar acquaintance. The album continued to be central to their lives. Survivors spread the word of a unique album in the possession of a waitress in Miami, and they made their way across the country to seek her out. Not a week would go by but Lili would bring home strangers who were not strangers, and they would pour over the pictures and weep. Rarely, someone would identify a family member, and Lili would give them the snapshot. Most of the photos remained unclaimed. In 1980 Serge Klarsfeld convinced Lilly that the album should be safeguarded at Yad Vashem. She came to Jerusalem and donated it to Yad Vashem, where it resides to this day and is treasured for the future. More

New York, N.Y. American Zionist Emergency Council, 1946. 50th Year Special Anniversary Edition, presumed first printing thus. Wraps. 160 pages. Some darkening to pages and some bottom page corners creased. Cover worn. This translation of The Jewish State, based on a revised translation published by the Scopus Publishing Company, was further revised by Jacob M. Alkow, editor of this book. The biography was condensed from Alex Bein's Theodor Herzl, published by the Jewish Publication Society of America. The bibliography and the chronology were prepared by the Zionist Archives and Library. Theodor Herzl (2 May 1860 – 3 July 1904) was an Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist, playwright, political activist, and writer who was the father of modern political Zionism. Herzl formed the Zionist Organization and promoted Jewish immigration to Palestine in an effort to form a Jewish state. Though he died before its establishment, he is known as the father of the State of Israel. Herzl is specifically mentioned in the Israeli Declaration of Independence and is officially referred to as "the spiritual father of the Jewish State", i.e. the visionary who gave a concrete, practicable platform and framework to political Zionism. However, he was not the first Zionist theoretician or activist; scholars, many of them religious such as rabbis Yehuda Bibas, Zvi Hirsch Kalischer and Judah Alkalai, promoted a range of proto-Zionist ideas before him. Contains an Introduction by Louis Lipsky, a Biography based on the work of Alex Bein. Also contains a Preface and Introduction, as well as chapters on The Jewish Question; The Jewish Company; Local Groups; Society of Jews and Jewish State; and Conclusion; as well as a Bibliography and a Chronology.

The Psychoanalytic Society of New York City, Jewish Harley-Davidson enthusiasts in Miami Beach, and the spiritual gathering of Navajos and Jews in Monument Valley are some of the diverse images captured by Frederic Brenner in this documentary book. The French photographer has recorded the amazing diversity of Jewish life in large cities and small communities in 32 states. 801 photos. Frédéric Brenner (born 1959) is a French photographer known for his documentation of Jewish communities around the world. His work has been exhibited internationally, among others, at the International Center of Photography in New York, the Musée de l'Élysée in Lausanne, Rencontres d'Arles in Arles, the Brooklyn Museum in New York, and the Joods Historisch Museum in Amsterdam. In 1996, Brenner created an installation on Ellis Island, in New York, featuring several prominent Jewish Americans, including Lauren Bacall, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Mark Spitz and Mayor Ed Koch among others. The installation, and events leading up to it, was filmed by the director Kevin Weyl. In 1981, Brenner began photographing Jewish communities around the world, exploring what it means to live and survive with a portable identity and how Jews adopted the traditions and manners of their home countries and yet remained part of the Jewish people.

New York: Hill and Wang [A division of Farrar, Straus and Giroux], 1988. First Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing. Hardcover. xiv, [2], 188, [4] pages. Christopher Eric Hitchens (13 April 1949 – 15 December 2011) was an Anglo-American author, columnist, essayist, orator, religious and literary critic, social critic, and journalist. He contributed to New Statesman, The Nation, The Atlantic, London Review of Books, The Times Literary Supplement, Slate, and Vanity Fair. Hitchens was the author, co-author, editor or co-editor of over 30 books, including five collections of essays, on subjects including politics, literature, and religion. Known for his contrarian stance on a number of issues, Hitchens criticized public figures as Mother Teresa, Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger, and Diana, Princess of Wales. Hitchens was an ardent advocate for the separation of church and state; a self-described antitheist, he regarded the concept of a god or supreme being as a totalitarian belief that destroys individual freedom, and argued that free expression and scientific discovery should replace religion as a means of teaching ethics and defining human civilization.
