315 pages including footnotes and index. "This explosive book lays bare the personalities and institutional relations behind the headlines. It goes beyond the recent events to discern the roots of contemporary U.S. covert activity within the past two decades. Delves into the details of CIA and extra-CIA operations, including drug-trafficking, gun-running, government-toppling, and assassination." - from back cover. "An informative and shocking book that takes us from the Bay of Pigs fiasco to the drug-fuelled secret war in Laos, from the urban hustle-and-bustle of Tehran to the steamy jungles of Central America. Profiteers pose as patriarchs, mercenaries claim to be humanitarians, and totalitarian thugs commit their atrocities in the name of political freedom - while back in Washington it's all just one more day at the office." - R.T. Naylor, author of Hot Money. Average wear. Unmarked. Binding sound. Good working copy. Book

1873SB-19-1628Leipzig, Brockhaus, 1873. Zweite vermehrte und verbesserte Auflage der deutschen Originalausgabe. XIV, 384 S. Grüner Halbleinenband der Zeit; Buchdeckel mit mehrfarbigen Marmorbezügen und mit Leinenecken; marmorierter Buchschnitt; farbige Vorsätze. Legendäre Reisebeschreibung des ungarischen Orientalisten und Turkologen Hermann Vámbéry (1832 - 1913). Vámbéry, der einer jüdisch-orthodoxen Familie entstammte, betrieb schon in jungem Alter ethnographisch-linguistische Studien und brachte sich autodidaktisch mehrere Sprachen, im Besonderen Arabisch, Türkisch und Persisch bei. Im Alter von 22 Jahren begab er sich nach Konstantinopel, wo er während seiner Tätigkeit als Hauslehrer Gelegenheit fand, verschiedene türkische Dialekte und Sprachen zu erlernen. 1861 begab sich Vámbéry, verkleidet als sunnitischer Derwisch, auf eine vierjährige Reise , die ihn zunächst in die bis dahin für westliche Reisende weitgehend verschlossenen Länder Armenien, Persien und Turkestan führte, später über das Uralgebiet und die Ostküste des Kaspischen Meeres nach Mittelasien; nach Aufenthalten in Chiwa, Teheran, Trapezunt, Buchara, Samarkand und Herat kehrte er von seiner Reise, die ihm weitreichende geographische, ethnographische und linguistische Erkenntnisse über die vorder- und mittelasiatischen Länder vermittelt hatte, ihm nach Konstantinopel zurück. In den folgenden drei Jahrzehnten, von 1865 bis 1905, lehrte Vámbéry als Professor für orientalische Sprachen der der Universität Budapest. Sein hier angebotenes Werk "Reise in Mittelasien" gibt die Stationen dieser faszinierenden Forschungsmission im Einzelnen wieder. Enthalten sind 12 ganzseitige Holzschnitt-Illustrationen sowie eine großformatige, mehrfach ausfaltbare Karte im Format 41 x 49 cm.
14426Vintage Photograph of Teheran from 1905- Optical lantern image of the Qajar king Palace gardens in Tehran. This seems to be a aerial view of the garden with the city in background. Titled "VUE PRISE DU PALAIS DU SHAH-LES NOUVEAUX QUARTIERS DE TEHERAN" Photographer is "Projections Molteni Radiguet & Massiot 15 bd des filles du calvaire-Paris" This is a positive on a glass lantern Gelatine silver bromure. Magic lanterns also known as optical lanterns provided one of the most popular forms of entertainment during their heyday in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1850 two Daguerreotypists in Philadelphia William and Frederick Langenheim invented a transparent positive image of a photograph in the form of a glass slide that could be projected onto a wall or screen using a Magic Lantern. Using an artificial light source and a combination of lenses these devices enlarged small transparency images or miniature models and projected them onto a wall or screen. dimensions : 85 cm x 10 cm. The photographer Arthur Radiguet died the year of this image in 1905 worked for the " la Maison Molteni" famous for their lantern images. Very rare to find such a aerial view of 1905 iran.

14529Magic Lantern Iran Collection of 3 Vintage Optical Lantern images of Iran circa 1905. 3 1/4" X 4." The images include the Qajar king palace royal gardens in Tehran and the Khaju Bridge in Isfahan. In the first image we see a Persian man in traditional 19th century clothing strolling in the Qajar royal Palace and gardens. The second image is a very rare aerial view of 19th century Tehran labeled "the Shah's gardens and the new neighborhoods." Since this image predates airplanes it is an extremely rare find probably using an aerial balloon. In the final image we see the Khaju Bridge which is one of the most famous bridges in Isfahan Iran. It was built by the Persian Safavid king Shah Abbas II around 1650 C.E. on the foundations of an older bridge. It has 23 arches and is 105 meters long and 14 meters wide. The bridge served as both a bridge and a dam and public meeting place as it links the Khaju quarter on the north bank with the Zoroastrian quarter across the Zayandeh River. <br/><br/>These are positives on a glass lantern Gelatine silver bromure.

2601918 May 1917; on letterhead of the Russian Consulate San Francisco California United States. 2pp 4to. 41 lines including postscript in green ink. On aged and brittle air mail paper with chipping and discoloration at the head resulting in some loss to printed letterhead but with text clear and entire. Addressed to ‘Mon cher ami’ and with valediction from ‘Ton très dévoué ami’. The recipient is unidentified but would appear to have been a former colleague at the Russian legation in Tehran Persia. Signed ‘Geo. S. Romanovsky’. He begins by thanking him for his congratulations. The recipient is right: ‘les choses ont changé’. Life has become less complicated: ‘l’âme ne cherche plus de choses extraordinaires la ‘might sic for ‘night’ life’ fatigue. C’est le commencement de la vieillesse nom de Dieu!’ Reference to ‘les Himenes triomphant sic’. Later an intriguing reference: ‘Il y a quelques jours je pensais à une nuit que nous avons passée sic ensemble avec le hashish deux types de dervish et cette canaille autrichienne de Consul rappele toi de lui il est mort à Tauris. Je me rappelais comme c’était drôle toute cette nuit chaude ce “beng†ces poètes cités ses cigarettes fumées . Et le fantôme de l’Orient m’etait venu dans la chambre du “University Club†et les mûrs hyppocrytes sic ont rougi. Je rêve de l’orient encore mais je doute qu’il y aie des possibilités d’y retourner. Il ne faux jamais oublir le proverbe latin “non bis in idem.†’ He continues with a comment on the heart and emotions concluding ‘Les meilleurs roses sont celles que le jardinier a pantées sur du fumier!’ He ends with a conversation urging a ‘longue Conversation’ with the recipient. It will be a pleasure in ‘la tourbillon de la vie nous nous trouverons réuni’. A book will have to be written ‘ainsi que nous partîmes à Tehran’. Postscript signed ‘Geo.’ suggests that he and the recipient should write often. 18 May 1917; on letterhead of the Russian Consulate, San Francisco, California [United States]. unknown
