It is the best book I have read on the subject and it will endure." -Sir John Keegan author of The First World War A War of Nerves is a history of military psychiatry in the twentieth century-an authoritative accessible account drawing on a vast range of diaries interviews medical papers and official records from doctors as well as ordinary soldiers.

DAVID BEN GURIONABAA

Ben-Gurion Writes to Save His Nascent University in the Negev

196921223DAVID BEN-GURION.Autograph Letter Signed to Avraham Zvion December 26 1969. 2 pp. in Hebrew on off-white faintly-lined sheets 4â…ž x 8â…œ in. Translation 26.12.69Sde-BokerDear Zvion I'm sorry for writing you things that until recently I hadn't realized that I would be required to. That's because I have admired all these years the work you've done for the Midrasha. However your actions following our conversation when we both agreed after a long discussion that you won't be leaving the school's management right now but only at the end of this year and meanwhile you'll assist the new person that will be assigned here to prepare the new education program for the Midrasha â€“ initial university studies. You will then take two years off as education leave and afterwards will retrieve the management of the Midrasha. I wouldn't have believed anyone that you are capable and ready to do this an action that in my opinion may bring the destruction of the Midrasha in Sde-Boker. But I have had meetings. Several female students that have recently graduated the teacher seminar in the Midrasha and now became fresh teachers all over the country came to me to voice support for your claims. I heard these claims with a great sorrow not because I didn't like it since I'm capable of hearing claims I dislike. I was upset because those claims came from you. You invited me to Even-Ari in Avdat and I enjoyed your invitation since I heard interesting things about the feasibility of fertilizing the desert without Yarden Yarkon and not through desalination of sea water. But all of this was just a preparation for your claims. I happened to arrive <2> at the parliament for a few moments and two good acquaintances came to visit me. One of them is a teacher Levin who is nowadays a member of the parliament and you recruited him to stir up the Teachers' Union against the Negev Committee. The second person who has earned a respectful position in our modern history is a lawyer Klausner. You summoned him to prosecute the Negev Committee. Although I honor your activities in the Midrasha and I do not have an authority to intervene in its management as a citizen I feel an obligation to do so since this enterprise that you managed to raise to such a level might be sacrificed in your war against the Negev Committee. During the last meeting I spoke to you and you came up with three new demands claiming that if they are accepted by the Committee you'll agree to leave for studies at the end of the year. At the meeting I did not want to acquiesce to these propositions but I could not understand how you came up with them and how it goes along with what should be done with the head of the Teachers' Union and with Mr. Klausner. I do not know if there is any value in my writing to you nor do I think that my sorrow will change your mind. However as one who cherishes and admires your work in the development of the Midrasha for more than five years I feel an obligation not only towards the Midrasha but also to you to tell what lies on my heart. Please do not bring the destruction of the Midrasha! With respect and deep sorrow D. Ben GurionHistoric BackgroundFollowing David Ben-Gurion's vision to build a university in the Negev desert the construction of Midreshet-Ben Gurion began in 1963. The Midrasha was founded as a governmental corporation which owned the campus and ran all municipal affairs. The Negev Committee headed by Ya'akov Ya'akovson operated as the board of directors.In 1964 the Negev Committee assigned lieutenant-colonel Avraham Zvion to become the principal of the Midrasha. With heart and soul Zvion built a vigorous community reaching over 1000 members. He started several different specialized schools i.e. high-school teacher seminars and recruited excellent teachers to join and promote the enterprise. Despite his unquestionable achievements Zvion's character was harsh and he did not take well to critics. After a dispute the Negev Committee decided to let him go. Zvion recruited the head of Teachers' Union and a member of the parliament Shalom Levin to sue the Negev Committee utilizing the services of the attorney Klausner. Zvion also had dozens of fresh teachers recently graduating the Midrasha teacher seminar on his side.While approached by several of Zvion's supporters and feeling great appreciation for his achievements Ben-Gurion was greatly upset that Zvion's actions against the Committee might destroy the Midrasha. Zvion left the Midrasha in 1970.Michael Even-Ari mentioned in the letter is a famous botanist. In 1959 he founded a research farm at the ruins of Avdat an ancient Nabatean city. His work explaining how the Nabataean culture was able to supply thousands of inhabitants in a similar arid climate with early runoff rainwater management was crucial for modern Israeli agriculture. books

Sister of the Road

19371089851937. First Edition. Signed. REITMAN Ben L. Sister of the Road. The Autobiography of Box-Car Bertha. New York: Macaulay 1937. Octavo original red cloth original dust jacket. $2400.First edition of this fictionalized autobiography of ""Box-car Bertha"" an icon of the Great Depression who brought to light the struggle of homeless women in America the basis for the 1972 Martin Scorcese film inscribed in the year of publication by the author: ""July 16-1937. To Don Curtis Keefer with best wishes. The Author. Ben L. Reitman.""Sister of the Road is a fictionalized autobiography of Box-Car Bertha drawn from a composite of three homeless women Dr. Ben Reitman met during his lengthy career as a doctor helping women in trouble in Chicago at the Capone houses of prostitution the Chicago House of Correction the Cook County Jail and as Director of the Chicago Society for the Prevention of Venereal Disease. While Reitman was regarded as something of saint for his commitment to society's least fortunate he is perhaps most notable for his unwillingness to elevate himself above his patients. Here he tells Box-Car Bertha's story with empathy detailing her life of train-hopping hitch-hiking shoplifting prostitution and unwed motherhood. ""The disorganization evident in current American life is frequently shown in ways of living that are hidden from public notice and that are not likely to gain scholarly attention. In such areas one is likely to find unusual social types unsuspected codes of conduct and bizarre form of living all reflecting efforts at adjustment in the midst of an unregulated world. Any revealing study of such an area is to be welcomed both for an increased understanding of our contemporary life and for the light thrown on the nature and play of social disorganization. From both points of view Sisters of the Road is a helpful addition to our literature since it portrays in an intimate and telling way such an unknown sphere of modern life"" contemporary review American Journal of Sociology. The basis for the the 1972 Martin Scorcese film adaptation starring David Carradine and Barbara Hershey. This copy is inscribed to Don Curtis Keefer who ran Keefer Laboratories in Chicago during the middle of the 20th century. Keefer was sued by the federal government in 1949 for selling an abortifacient under the name Interferin across state lines. The author Reitman and Keefer likely met professionally. Reitman would have had sympathy for Keefer's motivations and use for his product.Book about-fine with smoothed crease and small closed tear to page 111-12. Rare dust jacket bright and extremely good with light soiling a bit of wear mainly to extremities and vertical crease to spine. A handsome inscribed copy. hardcover
