New York: The Free Press, 1977. Third printing [stated]. Trade paperback. xiii, [1], 194 pages. Cover and edges have some wear and soiling. The former chief of Israeli intelligence, examining then current Arab attitudes toward Israel, indicates some hope for a Middle East peace, despite continuing Arab hostility and depending upon Israel's responses to Arab demands and proposals. More than half a century later, the conflicts remain unresolved. Yehoshafat Harkabi (born 1921, Haifa; died 26 August 1994, Jerusalem) was chief of Israeli military intelligence from 1955 until 1959 and afterwards a professor of International Relations and Middle East Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Harkabi had a good command of Arabic, a deep knowledge of Arab civilization and history, and a solid understanding of Islam. He developed from an uncompromising hardliner to supporter of a Palestinian state who recognized the PLO as a negotiations partner. In his most well-known work Israel's Fateful Hour, Harkabi described himself as a "Machiavellian dove" intent on searching "for a policy by which Israel can get the best possible settlement of the conflict in the Middle East" (1988, p. xx) - a policy that would include a Zionism "of quality and not of acreage" (p. 225). Harkabi was forced to resign as chief of Military Intelligence as a consequence of the 1959 Night of the Ducks. Following his military career, Harkabi served as a visiting professor at Princeton University and guest scholar at the Brookings Institution. He was Maurice Hexter professor and director of the Leonard Davis Institute of International Relations and Middle East Studies at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. More

He was also a member of the Afghanistan Study Group. He wrote five books on Asian affairs and U.S. relations with Asia. His last book, Korean Endgame: A Strategy for Reunification and U.S. Disengagement, won the 2002 award of the Association of American Publishers for the best Professional/Scholarly Book in Government and Political Science. His outspoken, constructive criticisms of Administration policies often appeared on op-ed pages of many major newspapers, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Financial Times. In Afghanistan's shadow lies Baluchistan, a little known but strategically located area stretching across eastern Iran, western Pakistan and a strip of southern Afghanistan. For more than 1000 years, Baluch tribesmen have regarded this vast expanse of desert and mountains as their rightful homeland, resisting its annexation into surrounding empires. In recent decades they have fought four guerilla wars to win either autonomy within Pakistan and Iran or failing that, an independent Greater Baluchistan that would unite the five million Baluch under one flag.

London, England: Heinemann Educational Books Ltd., 1975. Presumed First Paperback Edition, Presumed First printing. Trade paperback. [8], 152 pages. Substantial ink notations inside front cover and some on half-title. Text appears unmarked except for one pencil erasure noted. Includes Illustrations. This is one of the Studies in Modern History series. Preface, Acknowledgments, Appendix: Dienbienphu References, Bibliography, and Index. Topics covered include The Impact of French rule: Opposition to the French; The War Against the French 1946-54; The Failure of the Geneva settlement: the rule of Ngo Dinh Diem in the South; The development of the North: Resistance to Diem; Kennedy and the growing American involvement; Johnson's war; The devastation of Vietnam; The effect of the war on the United States; Nixon's continuing pursuit of victory; and Peace and War. The author was an academic and had previously written about the Cold War and Muckrakers. This study presents an outline of the history of Vietnam from its colonization by the French during the 19th century to the so-called peace settlement of 1973 and the new war which followed it. Its principle theme is the lengthy struggle of the Vietnamese to regain their independence. It seeks to explain how and why their anti-colonial struggle became transformed into a conflict involving the world's major powers. One question it tries to answer is why the guerrillas in the South, together with the largely peasant society of North Vietnam, were able to withstand the onslaught of American military technology. It also analyzes the vulnerability, despite massive American support, of the governments in Saigon. More

New York: Simon & Schuster, 2004. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xvii, [1], 427, [1] pages. Notes. Index. Inscription on fep signed by "Sam". This was Huntington's last book. Its subject is the meaning of American national identity and the possible cultural threat posed to it by large-scale Latino immigration, which Huntington warns could "divide the United States into two peoples, two cultures, and two languages". Huntington focused on an identity crisis as he examines the impact other civilizations and their values are having on our own country. America was founded by British settlers who brought with them a distinct culture, including the English language, values, individualism, and respect for law. The waves of immigrants that later came to the United States gradually accepted these values and assimilated into America's culture. Our national identity has been eroded by the problems of assimilating massive numbers of primarily Hispanic immigrants and challenged by issues such as bilingualism, multiculturalism, the devaluation of citizenship, and the “denationalization” of American elites. September 11 brought a revival of American patriotism and a renewal of American identity. Huntington argues the need for us to reassert the core values that make us Americans. Timely and thought-provoking, Who Are We? is an important book that is certain to shape our national conversation. More
