He joined The Washington Post in 1980. In Washington, he worked for the Post as a United States Department of State reporter and as a foreign investigative reporter, covering the Dayton peace process. Dobbs is the author of the "Cold War trilogy", a series of books about the climactic moments of the Cold War. His Down with Big Brother: The Fall of The Soviet Empire was a runner-up for the 1997 PEN award for nonfiction. His hour-by-hour study of the Cuban Missile Crisis, One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War, was a finalist for the 2008 Los Angeles Times history prize and was named one of five non-fiction books of the year by The Washington Post. The final book in the trilogy, Six Months in 1945: From World War to Cold War, describes the division of Europe into American and Soviet spheres of influence after World War II. More

Wein [Vienna]: Documentation Center of Austrian Resistance (DOW), 2006. Presumed First English Edition, First printing. Wraps. 95, [1] pages. Illustrations. Format is approximately 11.5 inches by 9 inches. The Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance (DÖW) was established in 1963. Its main topics deal with research concerning resistance and persecution from 1934 until 1945, exile, Nazi crimes, right-wing extremism after 1945, and victims' reparations. The Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance was founded on February 11, 1963 by Ludwig Jedlicka, August Maria Knoll, Paul Schärf, Ludwig Soswinski and Herbert Steiner, former members of the Austrian resistance, victims of NS-persecution, and committed scholars from the sciences and humanities. The late foundation 18 years after the end of World War II is explained by the hostile political and social environment that existed in Austria in the postwar years, which was still dominated by participants of the World War and former Nazis. A landmark in the development of the center was the establishment of the DÖW Foundation in 1983. More

New York, N.Y. Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited. 2012. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xiv, 316, [2] pages. Includes Acknowledgments, and Abbreviations and Archives. Also includes Introduction: Explaining the Liberal Predicament. Includes Part I: The Importance of Being Witty; Part II: The Pink Liberal; and Part III: The Anticosmopolitan Pluralist. Also includes Notes, Bibliography, and an Index, as well as 9 black and white illustrations. This is one of the Palgrave Studies in Cultural and Intellectual History. This study offers an intellectual biography of the philosopher, political thinker, and historian of ideas Sir Isaiah Berlin. It aims to provide the first historically contextualized monographic study of Berlin's formative years and identify different stages in his intellectual development, allowing a reappraisal of his theory of liberalism. This groundbreaking intellectual biography offers a fresh reappraisal of the philosopher, political thinker, and historian of ideas Isaiah Berlin, from his childhood to the apex of his career as a scholar and public figure. Applying a "double perspective" that examines Berlin both as an East European Jewish Emigre as well as a British Liberal Intellectual, Arie M. Dubnov illuminates the powerful tensions that defined Berlin's work, stressing the very ambivalent relation between his liberal philosophy and his Zionism. Powerfully relevant to the intellectual and political crises of today, this is a long overdue reassessment of one of the seminal figures of twentieth-century thought. More

New York, N.Y. Thomas Y. Crowell Co., 1979. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. [10], 271, [7] pages. One source lists this author as being having the real name of Don Newnham but that has not been confirmed. If so, he was born in Canada and worked for many years as a newspaper correspondent. This novel is a dramatic reconstruction of the last eleven weeks in the life of T. E. Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia, who died on the 19th of May, 1935. It is based on his experiences during and after World War I, as written by him and in differing accounts by historians and biographers. The events and characters in this novel are historically accurate, except where the demands of fiction are stronger than those of history. Where one truth ends and another begins is, as always, for the individual to decide. Based on meticulous historical research, and intricately interweaving real and fictional characters, The Murder of Lawrence of Arabia places an unknowing Lawrence at the center of a web of international intrigue from which there is no escape. A fascinating reading experience, the novel is an impressive achievement on many levels--in the authenticity of its details, in the compelling psychological portrait the author draws of the haunted, enigmatic Lawrence, in his sweeping evocation of Lawrence's Middle East adventures, and in the sheer page-turning suspense he develops as the hunters close in on their quarry.
