Jonathan Edward Schell (August 21, 1943 – March 25, 2014)[1][2] was an American author and visiting fellow at Yale University, whose work primarily dealt with campaigning against nuclear weapons. His work appeared in The Nation, The New Yorker, and TomDispatch. The Fate of the Earth received the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, among other awards, and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Critics Award. In his words; "Never has a nation unleashed so much violence with so little risk to itself. It is the government's way of waging war without the support of its own people, and involves us all in the dishonor of killing in a cause we are no longer willing to die for." From 1967 until 1987, he was a staff writer at The New Yorker, where he served as the principal writer of the magazine's Notes and Comment section. He was a columnist for Newsday from 1990 until 1996. He taught at many universities, including Princeton, Emory, New York University, the New School, Wesleyan University and the Yale Law School. He became a persistent advocate for disarmament and a world free of nuclear weapons. He won George Polk Awards in 1976 and also published essays on the Presidency of Richard Nixon, as well as the aftermath to the Watergate scandal, which led to the president's resignation in 1974, forming the basis to his book, The Time of Illusion.

Robert Shaplen was a correspondent and staff writer for The New Yorker magazine whose authoritative articles and books on Asia over many years made him one of the deans of American journalism. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1937 and a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University in 1938. In a journalistic career that spanned five decades, Mr. Shaplen was a reporter for The New York Herald Tribune and an Asia correspondent for Newsweek, Fortune and Collier's magazines. For the last 36 years, he had been on the staff of The New Yorker, and was the magazine's Far East correspondent from 1962 to 1978. He was the author of 10 books. From the battlefields of World War II, Korea and Vietnam to the jungles of Cambodia and Laos and the teeming byways of Hong Kong and Singapore, Mr. Shaplen covered a troubled and turbulent region of the world. He plunged ashore with the Marines on Leyte in the Philippines in 1944. He flew over Nagasaki hours after it was devastated by the atomic bomb in August 1945.' He was with Mao Zedong in the mountains of Yanan in 1946; reported on the rise and fall of Indonesia's President Sukarno in the 1960's; wrote strategic and battlefield pieces from Korea and Vietnam and, in 1973, provided a gripping firsthand account of the fall of Saigon. His last book, ''Bitter Victory,'' published by Harper & Row in 1986, was an account of his 1984 journey to Vietnam and Cambodia, and the last trip of his life was to Vietnam only a month before his death.

New York: Hill and Wang, 1986. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. [8], 245, [3] pages. Maps. Historical Note. In 1975, Molyda Szymusiak (her adoptive name) was twelve years old and leading a relatively peaceful life in Phnom Penh. Suddenly, on April 17, Khmer Rouge radicals seized the capital and drove all its inhabitants into the countryside. The chaos that followed has been widely publicized, most notably in the movie The Killing Fields. Murderous brutality coupled with raging famine caused the death of more than two million people, nearly a third of the population. This powerful memoir documents the horror Cambodians experienced in daily life. Molyda Szymusiak, (born Buth Keo; October 19, 1962) is a Khmer author and photographer born in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Following the Khmer Rouge takeover in April 1975, she and her family were driven out of the capital city into the Cambodian countryside. Nearly all of her immediate family was massacred or starved in the famine that accompanied the ensuing genocide. She and three other members of the family survived, arriving at the Khao-I-Dang refugee camp on the Thai border in 1980. In 1981, she and two of her cousins were adopted in Paris by Jan Szymusiak, a French professor and theologian of Polish extraction, and Carmen Affholder. In 1984, she published a memoir on the Khmer Rouge years, originally written in French (Les Pierres Crieront), then translated into English and published under the title The Stones Cry Out. The book is important as one of the few first hand survival narratives of the obscure Pol Pot years of 1975-1979 in Cambodia. More
