William Raymond Manchester (April 1, 1922 – June 1, 2004) was an American author, biographer, and historian. He was the author of 18 books which have been translated into over 20 languages. He was awarded the National Humanities Medal and the Abraham Lincoln Literary Award. In 1947, Manchester went to work as a reporter for The Baltimore Sun, where he met journalist H. L. Mencken, who became his friend and mentor. In 1955, Manchester became an editor for Wesleyan University and the Wesleyan University Press and spent the rest of his career at the university.

Manchester also wrote of World War II in several other books, including a three-part biography, The Last Lion, of Winston Churchill. Manchester also wrote a biography of General Douglas MacArthur, American Caesar. His best-selling book, The Death of a President (1967), is a detailed account of the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy, who had been the subject of an earlier book by Manchester. Before the book could be published, Jacqueline Kennedy filed a lawsuit to prevent its publication, even though she had previously authorized it. The suit was settled in 1967. More

Danbury, Connecticut: Rutledge Books, Inc., 2001. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. xiv, 507, [7] pages. Illustrations. Signed by the author, Bill McCullough, with sentiment on the half-title page. Includes Dedication, Introduction, and Foreword, as well as 24 chapters. Minuteman/Activist tells how the author's innovative ideas for resolving problems connected with public safety produced a high level of cooperation from the civilian population during the military occupation of Germany from 1945-1948. His experiences as a judge in military government court and as a member of a denazification board will very likely provide unusually interesting reading. Allied-occupied Germany was the administration of Germany from the 1945 defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II until the founding of East and West Germany in 1949. The victorious Allies asserted joint authority and sovereignty over Germany as a whole, defined as all territories of the former German Reich west of the Oder–Neisse line, having declared the destruction of Nazi Germany at the death of Adolf Hitler (the 1945 Berlin Declaration). The four powers divided "Germany as a whole" into four occupation zones for administrative purposes under the three Western Allies (the United States, the United Kingdom, France) and the Soviet Union, respectively. This division was ratified at the August 1945 Potsdam Conference. The four zones were agreed by the United States, United Kingdom and Soviet Union at the February 1945 Yalta Conference, setting aside an earlier division into three zones (excluding France) proposed by the September 1944 London Protocol.

Minor edge soiling noted. Includes Illustrations, Chapter 1--Lyon '87; The Funny War; Vichy; Sonderbehandlung; Lyon '43; Lyon 44: Last Train to Auschwitz' Acknowledgments, Note 0n Sources; Notes; and Index. Ted Morgan obtained copies of the ten thousand pages of secret documents prepared for the Barbie trial, including several hundred depositions that were not made public, and it is from this source that he can relate so many hitherto untold narratives about the occupation in Lyon. An Uncertain Hour is an involving journey into the hidden landscape of an occupied city. It includes definitive accounts of the capture of resistance leader Jean Moulin, the raid on the Jewish welfare office in Lyon, the seizure of the children's home in Izieu, the struggle for the mountain redoubt of Vercors, and the hallucinatory itinerary of the last train to Auschwitz. It explores the minds and motives of the Vichy leaders and German occupiers, moving from their gilded offices to prison cells and furtive meeting places. The illustrations in this book are the work of the German artist Joseph Beuys (1921 - 1986). Beuys joined the Hitler Youth and then the Luftwaffe, and became a dive-bomber pilot in 1941. Stationed in Nazi-occupied Crimea in 1943, his JU-87 was hit by Russian flak. Beuys returned to Germany with severe injuries and combat fatigue, and began to produce sculpture and objects that were his own postmodern "Horrors of War." Beuys conveys a powerful sense of what war is and what war does than traditional military artists who paint battles. More
