Robert Kinloch Massie III (born 1929) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American historian and biographer. He has devoted much of his career to studying the House of Romanov, Russia's royal family from 1613 to 1917. He studied United States and European history at Yale and Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship. Massie worked as a journalist for Newsweek from 1959–62 then at the Saturday Evening Post. In 1967 Massie wrote and published his breakthrough book, Nicholas and Alexandra, a biography of Nicholas II and Alexandra of Hesse, the last Emperor and Empress of Russia. In 1971 the book was the basis of an Academy Award-winning film of the same title. In 1995, in his book The Romanovs: The Final Chapter, Massie updated Nicholas and Alexandra with much newly discovered information. He was the president of the Authors Guild from 1987–91, and currently serves as an ex officio council member. While president of the Guild, he called on authors to boycott any store refusing to carry Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses. More
Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1941. Later printing, possibly book club. Hardcover. 304 pages. DJ is worn, torn, chipped, soiled, and is price clipped. Endpapers discolored. Some page discoloration. Includes Preface, as well as probably the most expert stories of espionage ever written, based on Mr. Maugham's own experiences as a British agent during the First World War. This fascinating book, first published in 1928, is now officially required reading for persons entering the British Secret Service, and is accepted as literal fact by Dr. Goebbels. It contains probably the most expert stories of espionage ever written. They are based, of course, on Mr. Maugham's own experiences as a British agent during the First World War, but they were written, the author emphasizes in a preface especially written for this edition, purely as entertainment. They make wonderfully exciting reading, freshly significant in these times. William Somerset Maugham CH (25 January 1874 – 16 December 1965) was an English playwright, novelist, and short-story writer. He was among the most popular writers of his era and reputedly the highest-paid author during the 1930s. Orphaned, he was raised by a paternal uncle. He did not want to become a lawyer like other men in his family, so he trained and qualified as a physician. His first novel Liza of Lambeth (1897) sold out so rapidly that Maugham gave up medicine to write full-time. During the First World War, he served with the Red Cross and in the ambulance corps before being recruited in 1916 into the British Secret Intelligence Service. He worked for the service in Switzerland and Russia before the October Revolution of 1917 in the Russian Empire. More
