Garden City: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1973. Presumed First Edition/First Printing. Hardcover. ix, [1], 518 pages. DJ has price present. DJ has some wear, soiling,and edge tears. Excerpt from KIRKUS REVIEW: Maybe not the largest, maybe not the most secret, but ... the most exciting -- at least as recollected by Ruth Kluger about her operations with the Mossad in World War II. That was a group of ten secret individuals (nine men and a woman) who tried to smuggle Jews out of Europe into Palestine as Hitler was making his final decision between deportation and incineration -- and every country in the world ""regretfully"" barred its doors. Unbelievable obstacles -- finding ship owners willing to lease vessels at premium in wartime; calming down passengers confined shipboard, endless baksheesh (bribes) to border officials, stationmasters, harbormasters, embassies (for phony transit or entry visas); evading British ships and border patrols which sent illegal immigrants (only 10,000 legal per year) back to where they came or, at best, to some Palestinian prison; and finally, money from rich Jews unwilling to believe their civilized world was collapsing all around them. This is truly a tragic, story no one, Jews, gypsies, or the great untouched, should ever forget. More

Underlining noted. Derived from a Kirkus review: Partly a survey of the island's history and partly a description of the current situation of Puerto Ricans on the mainland, this book has nationalism as its theme, and colonial oppression as connecting emphasis. Lopez shows that Puerto Rico has never had a full-blown native ruling stratum with a strong potential for national independence. His own ultimate solution for the island remains quite unclear: strategically, his focus is on Puerto Ricans in U.S. cities; their sufferings from unemployment, low-wage and low-skill employment, and discrimination he documents very well. He sees Puerto Rican politicians here exploiting nationalist and ethnic sentiment in the same way he says Munoz Marin did on the island;. Though Lopez is critical of some aspects of traditional Puerto Rican culture, especially the machismo syndrome, and ready to acknowledge that a political program is necessary, he tends to fall back on ethnic pride and cultural revival as the key to change. And, though he looks back with severity on the War on Poverty, he skirts the issue of ""community control"" and its ramifications. Yet, as a leftist as well as a Puerto Rican nationalist, he at least raises the issue of narrow nationalism vis-a-vis working-class organizing as a whole. The book is best taken as a significant expression of the crisis of nationalist thought, rather than a coherent manifesto. More

Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2001. First Paperback Printing [Stated]. Trade paperback. xvii, [3], 496, [12] pages. Footnote Abbreviations. A Note on Style. Footnotes. Maps. Tables. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. This is a volume in The Wilder House Series in Politics, History, and Culture. Terry Martin was an Associate Professor of History at Harvard University. "The real virtue of Martin's book—and all of the best new Soviet scholarship—is not in the theoretical model it propounds, but in the power of its details, gleaned from previously unknown documents. . . . Martin is able, for the first time, to explain what it was that the Soviet Union's leaders actually intended their nationality policy to achieve. . . . Reading Martin's work, . . . one is struck, above all, by how much stranger the Soviet Union is beginning to seem, in retrospect, than we thought it was at the time, and how much more perverse. . . . Reading this history also gives us in the West an insight, however narrow, into the turmoil experienced in the non-Russian lands of the former Soviet Union during the last decade. Ukraine, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Georgia: these are now 'free' and independent states. Yet how real is this freedom? Might it not be another illusion, foisted upon them by a still powerful, and still much wealthier, Russian republic."—The New York Review of Books, February 12, 2004. More
