Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 2010. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xiii, [1], 203, [7] pages. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Louis Stanton Auchincloss (September 27, 1917 – January 26, 2010) was an American lawyer, novelist, historian, and essayist. He is best known as a novelist who parlayed his experiences into books exploring the experiences and psychology of American polite society and old money. His dry, ironic works of fiction continue the tradition of Henry James and Edith Wharton. Auchincloss was an associate at Sullivan & Cromwell from 1941 to 1951 (with an interruption for war service from 1942 to 1945 in the United States Navy during World War II). He applied to join the Naval Reserve as an intelligence specialist on December 4, 1940 and was appointed as a lieutenant on December 1, 1942. After taking a break to pursue full-time writing, Auchincloss returned to working as a lawyer, first as an associate and then as a partner at Hawkins, Delafield and Wood in New York City, while writing at the rate of a book a year. Auchincloss is known for his closely observed portraits of old New York and New England society. Among his books are the multi-generational sagas The House of Five Talents, Portrait in Brownstone, and East Side Story. The Rector of Justin is the tale of a renowned headmaster of a prep school like the one he attended, Groton School, trying to deal with changing times. Gore Vidal said of his work: " Auchincloss is the only one who tells us how our rulers behave in their banks and their boardrooms, their law offices and their clubs.... Not since Dreiser has an American writer had so much to tell us about the role of money in our lives." More

n.p. Cynthia Baldwin Avery, 2020. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. ix, [1], 318, [8] pages. Illustrations (including diagrams/maps). Footnotes. Short ink notation inside the front cover. Minor wear and soiling. Cindy Avery was born and raised in the small village of Aurora, New York, where her family had settled in 1795. She grew up knowing her father had been a World War II B-24 pilot who had been shot down over Germany, captured, and held as a German P.O.W. for a year. For the nearly twenty years after her father shared more details of his story, she dreamed of writing a book that filled in the gaps of his journey. After a long career in teaching and institutional fundraising, she retired to devote time to his extraordinary story. She says, “Writing My Father’s Journey was a roller coaster ride. It was fun-filled and heart-wrenching. It was, at times, hard to write and even harder to read. I went on some educational side trips when Dad casually referenced something that piqued my curiosity. I learned even more about him as well as the history of that time and the other men and women who represented ‘the Greatest Generation.’”. More

Toronto, Canada: Stoddart Publishing Co., 1989. 1st Canadian Edition. Hardcover. 248, maps, chronology, appendices, notes, bibliography, index, some wear, creases, and small tear to DJ edges. Small rough spot (where sticker was removed) inside front flyleaf. The original Canadian edition of this book. James Bacque (19 May 1929 – 13 September 2019) was a Canadian writer, publisher, and book editor. In Other Losses, Bacque claimed that Allied Supreme Commander Dwight Eisenhower's policies caused the death of 790,000 German captives in internment camps through disease, starvation and cold from 1944 to 1949. In similar French camps some 250,000 more are said to have perished. The International Committee of the Red Cross was refused entry to the camps, Switzerland was deprived of its status as "protecting power" and POWs were reclassified as "Disarmed Enemy Forces" to circumvent recognition under the Geneva Convention. Bacque argued that this alleged mass murder was a direct result of the policies of the western Allies, who, with the Soviets, ruled as the Military Occupation Government over partitioned Germany from May 1945 until 1949. He laid the blame on Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, saying Germans were kept on starvation rations even though there was enough food in the world to avert the lethal shortage in Germany in 1945–1946.
