2053Berkeley: University Relations 2008. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very good. An uncommon photo book that commemorates the launch of the Campaign for UC Berkeley in 2008 highlighting the campus in pictures and in words from renown alumni and others. This is Joan Didion's copy with a university notecard to her laid in from one "Mary Kay" likely someone in University Relations. It reads in full: "Dear Joan Greetings from Berkeley! We have found yet another way to use your inspirational words about Berkeley. The enclosed book include the summary of your essay in 'There Was Light'--the version you approved for the television spot--as well as another well-used quote of yours at the end of the book. Should you ever want to read your essay again there are many people who have asked about it and would love to hear you read it again--or for the first time. I continue to follow your work and life and admire your strength and optimism. I hope this note finds you filled with hope for the new year. With warmest regards Mary Kay." There Was Light: An Autobiography of a University: Berkeley 1868-1968 referenced in the note was published in 1970 and featured essays about the university from thirty-one notable alumni including Didion. She attended Berkeley from 1953-1956 and went on to become one of California's greatest chroniclers as literary journalist and essayist. See photos for the pages that hold Didion's words. A short quarto in denim blue cloth with the title stamped on the front board; dark blue endpapers and a transparent page guarding the half-title; 130 pages. A short introduction from Chancellor Robert J. Birgeneau on the photo-illustrated jacket's front flap. The jacket depicts the campus's famous Sather Tower The book is fine; the jacket is very good with rubbing to all edges and some faint dampstaining at the center of its spine mainly visible from the jacket's interior and with no discernible effect on the book itself. An incredible UC Berkeley association copy and keepsake; we dare say this would make a one-of-a-kind graduation gift. University Relations hardcover

From wikipedia: <br /> <br /> The Mexican Border War13 or the Border Campaign14 refers to the military engagements which took place in the Mexico–United States border region of North America during the Mexican Revolution. The war's time period encompassed World War I during which Germany attempted to have Mexico attack the United States and engaged in hostilities against American forces there itself. The Border War was the fifth and latest major conflict fought on American soil where its predecessors were the American Revolutionary War War of 1812 Mexican–American War 1846–1848 and the American Civil War. The end of the Mexican Revolution on 1 December 1920 marked the close of the American Frontier. The Bandit War15 in Texas was part of the Border War. From the beginning of the Mexican Revolution in 1910 the United States Army was stationed in force along the border and on several occasions fought with Mexican rebels or federals. The height of the conflict came in 1916 when revolutionary Pancho Villa attacked the American border town of Columbus New Mexico. In response the United States Army under the direction of General John J. Pershing launched an expedition into northern Mexico to find and capture Villa. Although Villa was not captured the US Army found and engaged the Villista rebels killing Villa's two top lieutenants. The revolutionary himself escaped and the American army returned to the United States in January 1917. Conflict at the border continued however and the United States launched several additional though smaller operations into Mexican territory until after the American victory in the Battle of Ambos Nogales in August 1918 leading to the establishment of a permanent border wall.16 Conflict was not only subject to Villistas and Americans; Maderistas Carrancistas Constitutionalistas and Germans also engaged in battle with American forces during this period. n.p. unknown
