DJ has slight wear and soiling. Pencil erasure residue on fep. Bradley F Smith was a ground-breaking historian of the Second World War and intelligence. He was born in 1931. He joined the air force. After four years' service he went to Berkeley to study history and then on a Fulbright scholarship to Munich, where he honed his skills in German documentary sources. In the 1970s he began to write the books which would make his name as a scholar. The journal Foreign Affairs welcomed Reaching Judgment at Nuremberg (1977) as "a superbly written and novelesque account, which is also a sound work of historical scholarship". The Shadow Warriors: OSS and the Origins of the CIA (1983) was, like all his books, meticulously researched, and it remains the best general account of the Office of Strategic Services, the US's Second World War intelligence agency.

Timothy David Snyder (born August 18, 1969) is an American historian specializing in the history of Central and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and the Holocaust. He is the Richard C. Levin Professor of History at Yale University and a permanent fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna. He has written several books, including Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin and On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century. The Road to Unfreedom, and Our Malady. Several of them have been described as best-sellers. Snyder serves on the Committee on Conscience of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Snyder has written fifteen books and co-edited two. Snyder speaks five European languages and reads ten, enabling easier use of primary and archival sources in Germany and Central Europe during his research. Snyder has stressed that in order to engage in such transnational history, knowing other languages is very important, saying "If you don't know Russian, you don't really know what you're missing."

New York: Pantheon Books, 1992. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Trade paperback. 144 p. Illustrations. Volume 2 only of the 2-volume set, profusely illus., some wear and soiling to covers. A unique and powerful tale of a Holocaust survivor seen through the art and words of his son, avant-garde cartoonist Art Spiegelman. Spiegelman won a special Pulitzer Prize and a Guggenheim fellowship for Maus. Art Spiegelman (born February 15, 1948) is an American cartoonist, editor, and comics advocate best known for his graphic novel Maus. From 1992 he spent a decade as contributing artist for The New Yorker, where he made several high-profile covers. Spiegelman began his career with the Topps bubblegum card company in the mid-1960s; there he co-created parodic series such as Wacky Packages in the 1960s and the Garbage Pail Kids in the 1980s. He gained prominence in the comix scene in the 1970s with short, experimental, and often autobiographical work. Spiegelman turned focus to the book-length Maus, about his relation with his father, a Holocaust survivor. The book depicts Germans as cats, Jews as mice, and ethnic Poles as pigs. It won a special Pulitzer Prize in 1992 and has gained a reputation as a pivotal work, responsible for bringing scholarly attention to the comics medium. More

Publisher's ephemera laid in. Mr. Sprecher was the only assistant prosecutor to present cases against two defendants at the first Nuremberg trial, in which a court created by the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France indicted 24 of the most important captured leaders of Nazi Germany. Before the trial, one defendant hanged himself and another was considered too frail to stand trial. Three of the 22 tried were acquitted, 8 went to prison and the rest were executed. Mr. Sprecher became one of the few original prosecutors to go on to subsequent Nuremberg trials conducted by the United States in its zone of occupied Germany. At these 12 trials, Mr. Sprecher at different times led four different divisions of the American prosecution team and was top deputy to Telford Taylor, chief counsel. Mr. Sprecher's successful case against Baldur von Schirach, Hitler Youth leader from 1931 to 1940, involved arguing that the militarization of millions of youths, including rifle-shooting drills by 7,000 instructors, was "a central thread" of the Nazi conspiracy. In the other case Mr. Sprecher presented, he contended that Hans Fritzsche, a deputy to the propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, incited Germans by broadcasting lies on the radio. More

New York: Simon and Schuster, 1967. First Printing. Hardcover. 415, sm wrinkle ins fr endpaper, DJ soiled and small tears, small piece missing in front DJ, preface by Simone de Beauvoir. Jean-François Steiner is a French-Jewish writer born on 17 February 1938 in Paris. He is best known for his non-fiction novel Treblinka: The Revolt of an Extermination Camp first published in 1966 as Treblinka: la révolte d'un camp d'extermination; translated a year later by Helen Weaver for Simon & Schuster. Written in the first person, the book blames members of the Jewish Sonderkommando for assisting the German SS in perpetrating a genocide. Following outrage among French, Jewish and foreign academics, Steiner agreed to republish his book (which was a bestseller), by presenting it as a fictional account of the Treblinka extermination camp operation. The book remains very popular in France. When asked upon the publication of his book why death camps such as Treblinka had been 'avoided' by his own French contemporaries, Steiner replied: "In Treblinka, as in all the other extermination camps, the Germans had designed 'the machine' (as they referred to the methods of extermination) in such a way that it would almost run itself. It is the Jews who did everything." More
