2 vols., roy. 8vo., First Edition, with very numerous photographs (a number full-page) throughout; original pictorial boards, a near fine set. The set comprises Vol. I: Road to War; Vol. II: Enigma. Ten years in the making, this comprehensive study chronicles the life of Reinhard Heydrich, Hitler's probable heir apparent. This extraordinary man rose to become second only to Himmler within the SS, controlling the entire Security Service through a career of controversy which continues to this day. He was considered so dangerous that the British had him assassinated. Volume 1 details Heydrich's life from birth to the outbreak of WWII; Volume 2 covers Heydrich's involvement in the Jewish question, the Wannsee Conference, his posting as Acting Reichsprotector for Bohemia-Moravia, his assassination in 1942, his State Funeral, and the precarious life of his wife Lina and their family until her death in 1985. A major feature of this work is the unique collection of over 700 photographs, many never seen before, assembled by the authors during a decade of intensive research. Already very scarce.

ill., ril. L'11 agosto 2014 Robin Williams, attore premio Oscar e comico di fama internazionale, si toglie la vita nella sua casa di Tiburon, in California. Il mondo è sotto shock, nessuno riesce a spiegarsi - tranne forse pochi intimi quali possano essere le cause di un gesto così estremo. Nei giorni successivi si scoprirà che Williams aveva a lungo combattuto una battaglia impari contro la depressione e le dipendenze. Chi lo ha conosciuto è rimasto folgorato dall'esuberanza incontenibile e dalla sensibilità di un uomo che è stato in grado di far ridere intere generazioni di spettatori. Un vero genio della risata, passato dagli spettacoli di cabaret ai red carpet e alle produzioni milionarie senza mai perdere la sua inesauribile vena comica; nel corso degli anni l'attore ha interpretato con successo numerosi ruoli, spaziando dalla commedia al genere drammatico. Per tutti Robin Williams è stato una presenza rassicurante, sempre generosa, capace di regalare un sorriso anche nei momenti di difficoltà e per questo motivo la sua scomparsa appare ancora più dolorosa e irreparabile. Dietro tanta ironia e tanta energia si nascondeva un uomo fragile e indifeso, inseguito da incubi e paure. Il volume di Emily Herbert celebra la vita e la carriera di un artista che ha fatto sorridere il mondo intero.

br. L'edizione 2022 degli US Open ha ospitato l'ultimo match in carriera di Serena Williams, una delle maggiori fuoriclasse che il tennis abbia mai espresso nel proprio percorso ultrasecolare. Forse la Più Grande di sempre. Il libro racconta nei dettagli l'emozionante storia della campionessa statunitense, classe 1981: la difficile infanzia trascorsa nel ghetto di Compton, il precoce arrivo nel circuito WTA al seguito della sorella Venus, più grande di 15 mesi, l'esplosione ai livelli più alti, il primo trionfo Slam a New York nel 1999. Le rivalità più sentite e palpitanti. Gli innumerevoli stop per infortunio. Le grandi vittorie nei Major in singolare sono state 23, gli ori olimpici 4 (tre in doppio). La storia di una atleta, donna, mamma, che in 25 anni di attività ha cambiato il tennis femminile ed è stata di esempio per molte giovani tenniste. I segreti e i retroscena di una carriera lunga e gloriosa, la cui influenza ha travalicato i confini dello sport.

iv, 87 pages. Reproductions of black and white photos. "I have written this booklet because I have found so many people know almost nothing about the evacuation of the Japanese Canadian people from the west coast during the war. At the coast, after Pearl Harbor, a Japanese family might be living next door to you and a few days later they were gone and no one knew where, particularly after they left the exhibition buildings in Vancouver. I feel sorry this story has to be told, in part, so that such a thing does not happen to any other group of people in this country. Tashme was established at the Fourteen Mile Ranch and the first families arrived in September, 1942. I have written mostly about the high school and its students but everyone in the community was effected by the events I have recorded." - from Preface. Author taught high school for two years in Tashme. Clean and unmarked with light wear. Two-inch rectangular patch of mild discoloration to upper right corner of front cover where label removed. A sound copy of this important history. OCLC Number 41799350. Book
