193543235Varshe Warsaw: Ko'operativer Farlag "Kultur Lige 1935. Original boards. 8vo 442 pages 22 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as “Before the Flood.â€<br> <br> First volume of a three volume series of novels written by Sholem Asch while he was living in Bellevue France. Each volume describes Jewish life in a major city in the early 20th century. Volume 1 describes St.Petersburg Volume 2 describes Warsaw and Volume 3 describes Moscow.<br> <br> “Asch’s monumental trilogy Farn mabl Before the Flood.was in scope and treatment a work of major importance that translated into several languages consolidated his international reputation. Written and published in stages between 1921 and 1931 Farn mabl was translated into English in 1933 by Edwin and Willa Muir under the title Three Cities. This panoramic tale is told over three volumes each bearing the name of a city central to events immediately prior to and during the Russian Revolution of 1917: Petersburg Petersburg; 1929 Varshe Warsaw; 1930 and Moskve Moscow; 1931. <br> <br> To enable his readers more easily to grasp the complicated religious philosophical and sociopolitical problems of that period Asch deployed the genre of the bildungsroman depicting everything through the eyes of his hero Zachary Mirkin the only son of an enormously rich merchant. <br> <br> Petersburg examines the way entrepreneurial Jews contrived to share in the great commercial and industrial expansion of the turn of the century rising to positions of power and prestige in the dying days of tsarism. <br> <br> Warsaw by contrast sympathetically depicts the poverty and sociopolitical turmoil that made the Russian revolution inevitable while Moscow attempts to analyze the destructive social forces unleashed by the revolution and the subsequent conflict between individual freedom and the dictates of the Bolshevik party. <br> <br> In bridging the action between all three parts Zachary becomes the supreme example of Asch’s favorite character an existentially troubled being in search of faith and conviction able neither to accept nor to fight the drastic social transformations taking place all around him.†YIVO Encyclopedia.<br> <br> SUBJECTS: Yiddish literature.

1952183941London: Ordnance Survey 1952. Later editions marked "restricted" revised from those produced by the War Office in 1919 and 1916 with isogonals correct to 1953. These maps were issued in the early years of the Cold War only a decade after the region was ravaged in the Battle of Stalingrad. Stepnoy now Elista was renamed only five years after this map's publication. In the early years of the Cold War the CIA attempted to gather information on the Soviet Union through aerial spying missions flown with the co-operation of the British government. "The RAF formed a top-secret reconnaissance outfit in the spring of 1951. Churchill approved the RAF overflight program knowing that if one of the planes came down on Russian territory Labour MPs in an embarrassed and angered House of Commons undoubtedly would force a vote of confidence to bring down his government. But he balanced that possibility against the desperate need for radar pictures of Soviet military targets that would held SAC and RAF bombers in the event of war" Burrows pp. 131-33. In 1952 John Crampton flew a high-speed high-altitude test run over the Berlin corridor which Bomber Command followed with three simultaneous sorties reaching as far as Moscow itself. After a ten-hour mission that triggered the Soviet air defences "All three planes made it back to Sculthorpe with their radar imagery and without a scratch" Burrows p. 134 angering the Kremlin and prompting a review of the nation's air warning systems. The map of Stalingrad is the fourth edition and the map of Stepnoy is the fifth. Single sheet of cloth 605 x 554 mm colour maps with key on each side pale border on Stalingrad side lettered in red blue and black. Map bright sometime folded and creased edges a little frayed: a very good copy. William Burrows By Any Means Necessary: America's secret air war in the Cold War 2001. hardcover
