He also wrote History of WWII: Armed Services Memorial Edition. He made several feature films and wrote the screenplay for the 1919 film Deliverance, about Helen Keller.

New York: Arcade Publishing, 1996. 1st English Language Edition [stated]. First Printing [stated]. Hardcover. 22 cm. [12],177, [3] pages. Footnotes. Corner of two pages folded and straightened, DJ slightly soiled. Francois Mitterrand decided to talk openly about his life, both personal and political. President for fourteen years, longer than anyone else in the history of the French Republic, Mitterrand was interested not in constructing an elaborate memorial to himself in words but in leaving behind a living testament. He therefore turned to someone whom he knew and trusted, Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, a close friend of many years, to join him in a vibrant, vigorous exchange. The topics they discuss are childhood, faith, war, power, writing, and those moments that shape and sometimes define us as people. Mitterrand and Wiesel's dialogue is spontaneous, thoughtful, lyrical, blunt, far-reaching, and candid, whether it involves controversial moments in Mitterrand's political career, Wiesel's memories of Auschwitz, the importance of family and religion in their lives, or simply their favorite books and walks.

Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1961. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. 524 pages. Endpaper illus. (sketches of Nizer). Inscribed by the author. One of America's most famous trial lawyers recounts some of his most significant cases. Louis Nizer (February 6, 1902 – November 10, 1994) was a noted Jewish-American trial lawyer. In 1928, he co-founded a law partnership: Phillips and Nizer, later Phillips, Nizer, Benjamin, Krim & Ballon. Nizer was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the "highest-paid lawyer in the world." He represented many celebrities in a variety of cases, including Johnny Carson, Salvador Dalí, Mae West, "Dr. J", and Roy Fruehauf. His most famous cases, however, involved representing Quentin Reynolds in his successful libel suit against columnist Westbrook Pegler, and representing the broadcaster John Henry Faulk against AWARE, a right-wing organization that had falsely labeled him a communist. His legal victory in the Faulk case was credited with "breaking the back of blacklisting in broadcasting." More
