Cy, as he was commonly called, joined the family paper in 1939 and was soon covering stories overseas as Europe edged toward World War II. Among the reporters who worked for him during the war were Drew Middleton and James Reston. He wrote two dozen books in his lifetime.

Kennedy he conveyed a note to Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev in 1961. It is said that he was closest to President Charles de Gaulle. More

This contemporary propaganda material is ephemeral and relatively few copies have survived in private hands in the more than four decades since it was published. From Wikipedia: "South Vietnam, officially the Republic of Vietnam, was a state which governed southern Vietnam until 1975. It received international recognition in 1949 as the "State of Vietnam" (1949-55), and later as the "Republic of Vietnam" (1955-75). The term "South Vietnam" became common usage in 1954. South Vietnam's origins can be traced to the French colony of Cochinchina, a subdivision of French Indochina. After World War II, the Vietminh, led by Ho Chi Minh, proclaimed the establishment of a Communist nation in Hanoi. In 1949, non-communist Vietnamese politicians formed a rival government in Saigon led by former emperor Bao Dai. Bao Dai was deposed by Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem in 1955, who proclaimed himself president after a referendum. After Diem was deposed in a military coup in 1963, there was a series of military governments. General Nguyen Van Thieu led the country from 1967 until 1975. The Vietnam War began in 1959 with an uprising by Viet Cong forces. Fighting climaxed during the Tet Offensive of 1968, when there were over 1.5 million South Vietnamese soldiers and 500,000 U.S. soldiers in South Vietnam. Despite a peace treaty concluded in January 1973, fighting continued until the North Vietnamese army overran Saigon on 30 April 1975." More

DJ has some wear and soiling and is price clipped. Colonel John Weeks began his long and distinguished military career with the Staffordshire Regiment before serving in the Parachute Regiment. A well respected author of military books and an instructor at the Royal Military College of Science, he was engaged for many years on the assessment of weapons and weapons systems. Men Against Tanks is the first complete history of the development of tactics and weaponry of anti-tank warfare developed to a sophisticated level of strategic importance. This book is the first history of that development. Beginning with the days when the Germans had little more than "K" bullets to use against tanks, the author proceeds to the hectic technological race between the Allies and the Axis powers during World War II, which saw Germany under Krupp develop a variety of weapons not seen in any other field of armament. A discussion of the Arab-Israeli War in 1973 affords a look at the future of missile and tank warfare. In this account of the combat between men on foot and men in bullet-proof machines, the author has simplified technical jargon and stressed the human side of modern warfare.
