Sensitive artistic and yet at the same time intrepid and able Little Doc with his devoted henchman and engineer of his fish boat Poppy go out to Africa from New Orleans to run a steamboat on a river in the Congo. They are tricked by the of Big Business; they are almost defeated again and again by her jungle worst; yellow fever takes from Little Doc the girl be has grown to love; the desert left him almost at death's door -- and finally the two of them come back to their beloved Cotton Valley eager for a taste of triumph only to find that their departure had been barely noted and then forgotten their adventures discarded and that Little Doc was not going to be a member of The Boosters Club after all. It took the loyal Princie Joe to give them back their faith -- and an outsider to make the tribute. An original story with warm characterization and rich color. I liked it. E. P.

One Nation; What We Can All Do to Save America's Future

201474335New York: Sentinel 2014. Later printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xxvi 2 225 3 pages. Index. Signed by Ben Carson on fep. Benjamin Solomon Carson Sr. born September 18 1951 is an American neurosurgeon author and politician who is the 17th and current United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the Trump Administration. He had been a candidate for President of the United States in the Republican primaries in 2016. In 2008 he was bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom the highest civilian award in the United States. Carson's widely publicized speech at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast catapulted him to fame for his views on social and political issues. In July 2013 Carson joined The Washington Times as an opinion columnist. In October 2013 Fox News hired Carson as a contributor to provide analysis and commentary across Fox News Channel's daytime and primetime programming. Carson wrote: In February 2013 I gave a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. Standing a few feet from President Obama I warned my fellow citizens of the dangers facing our country and called for a return to the principles that made America great. Many Americans heard and responded but our nation's decline has continued. Today the danger is greater than ever before and I have never shared a more urgent message than I do now. Our growing debt and deteriorating morals have driven us far from the founders' intent. Obamacare threatens our health liberty and financial future. Media elitism and political correctness are out of control. We seem to have lost our ability to discuss important issues calmly and respectfully regardless of party affiliation or other differences. We have to come together to solve our problems. I have proposed a road out of our decline appealing to America's decency and common sense. Sentinel hardcover

The Obligation to Remember; The American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors Washington DC 4/11-14 1983: An Anthology by the Staff of the Washington Post

198342273Washington DC: The Washington Post 1983. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. The format is approximately 9.5 inches by 13 inches. 66 wraps Illustrated cover. Illustrations. The covers are somewhat worn and soiled. The cover title: Holocaust the obligation to remember. The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945 Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. The murders were carried out primarily through mass shootings and poison gas in extermination camps chiefly Auschwitz-Birkenau Treblinka Belzec Sobibor and Che mno in occupied Poland. The Nazis developed their ideology based on racism and pursuit of "living space" and seized power in early 1933. Meant to force all German Jews regardless of means to attempt to emigrate the regime passed anti-Jewish laws encouraged harassment and orchestrated a nationwide pogrom in November 1938. After Germany invaded Poland in September 1939 occupation authorities began to establish ghettos to segregate Jews. Following the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 1.5 to 2 million Jews were shot by German forces and local collaborators. Many Jewish survivors emigrated outside of Europe after the war. A few Holocaust perpetrators faced criminal trials. Billions of dollars in reparations have been paid although falling short of the Jews' losses. The Holocaust has also been commemorated in museums memorials and culture. It has become central to Western historical consciousness as a symbol of the ultimate human evil. From a Washington Post article published in 1983: IT IS NOW 38 years since the defeat of Hitler's empire and the Allied armies' relief of the death camps. Anyone who survived those camps is now well into middle age; most are elderly. That is the reason for the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors here this week. It is preparation for a time when there will no longer be living witnesses to those events. Some of those who died in the camps were gypsies and some were intellectuals. Some were Christians whose consciences made them disruptive influences in Hitler's New Order. But a very great majority of them were of course Jews sent there in the empire's attempt to destroy a faith together with all who followed it and their entire families. In Europe that attempt nearly succeeded. The Holocaust will necessarily have a special meaning for Jews but it would be deeply wrong to let the memory of the death camps be consigned to an exclusively Jewish heritage. The message of the Holocaust deserves the most careful consideration of everyone of any religion or none at all. Even in 1945 in the heat of war the significance of the Holocaust transcended national politics. It was correctly taken as evidence of the presence of a militant and purposeful evil in the sense in which the moralists and theologians have always used the word. There had been optimistic times in the 18th and 19th centuries when enlightened people often thought of evil as a condition that rising standards of living and improved education would eventually cure. That brave thought collapsed in the first half of the present century. The death camps were the creation of people who were highly endowed by the world's standards with both material wealth and an elevated culture. The 1930s and the 1940s brought the demonstration that the heart of darkness does not lie in the upper reaches of some exotic or primitive place but much closer to home in the most "advanced" of societies. The death camps stand in our history as profound warning against certain dangerously easy assumptions about human nature. The camps constitute a commentary not simply on Nazi Germany but on habits of mind and spirit that can be found elsewhere as well. It is more pleasant not to think about these things and to keep the conversation to those moments in history that show the human race at its best. But at the other extreme are those stark camps still within the memory of people here in this city conveying their own terrible instruction. That is the point of the gathering here. There is a moral obligation to remember--always. The Washington Post paperback
