"On the New Hebrides archipelago lives one of the most primitive peoples in the world still practicing cannibalism. In the summer fo 1933 the author arrived there as part of an Oxford University expedition. Fascinated by what he saw he remained behind to learn more about the technique of savage living.

"A complete survey from a democratic point of view of the financial machinations of the last century." - dust jacket not included. "The controllers of the Money Power the men who cold-bloodedly raised their demands upon their fellow-countrymen with every WWI German advance in the field and with every German U-boat campaign at sea; the men who organized the creation of hundreds of millions of unnecessary debt the men who inflated rates of interest; the men who as the price of providing credits to free us from the threat of German slavery enmeshed us in an interest burden of a million pounds per diem - it is they whose war-time plunderings I have sought to record in the foregoing pages. The machinations of the organized Money Power during the stress of war surely provide the most convincing of evidence that the nation must be the sole creator of money and the guardian and banker of the savings and thrift of its citizens if well-being and security are ever to be the common lot of men." - pgs 60-61.

"In 1939 Kitty Schmidt was running one of the most fashionable and successful brothels in Berlin. It was soon to undergo a startling transformation - into a highly organized espionage centre run by the SS and staffed by loyal Nazi agents acting as prostitutes. One espionage coup after another was pulled of on visitors including Italian Foreign Minister Count Ciano German Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop SS leader Heinrich Himmler and Sepp Dietrich Commander of Hitler's SS bodyguard. Author researched the amazing details of this operation - interviewing survivors of the period and sifting through a mass of documentary evidence the 25000 wax disks on which the conversations of Salon Kitty's illustrious clients were recorded are still stored in East Berlin.

"Stern describes the whole course of U.S. policy in Greece and Turkey regarding the Cyprus crisis of 1974. He shows how and why we encouraged and supported the colonels' coup in Greece and how this policy brought the two countries - America's chief NATO allies in the eastern Mediterranean - to the brink of war with each other. Cyrprus was divided lives were lost and the potential for war remains. Stern argues these events cast a new and garish light on the credibility and competence of Henry Kissinger and ultimately brought into question the inherent contradictions in American foreign policy in general. A book deeply relevanant to ongoing policy to our disconcerting attitudes of apathy and intervention in the Third World and to the requirements of economic and political stability on which world peace is contingent." - dust jacket. x 170 p.
