"My belief in the moral justification and historical necessity of Zionism remains unaffected by my critical reappraisal of the Zionist leadership. Israel's problem today is its intoxication with military success and the belief that military superiority is a substitute for peace. Unless the liberal and progressive values of Zionism are restored and Palestinian rights to self-determination within a framework of peaceful coesistence are recognized Israel's search for peace is doomed to failure." - Preface.

Halow 1927-2014 " Worked as a court reporter during the U.S. Army's courts-martial at Dachau where he witnessed some of the most gripping testimony from some of the most sensational trials of the postwar years.

"On the New Hebrides archipelago lives one of the most primitive peoples in the world still practicing cannibalism.

1934163j1256London: Methuen & Co. Ltd. Fair with no dust jacket. 1934. First Edition. Hardcover. "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. The result is a true story that reads as excitingly as any spy thriller." - dust jacket. Translated from the French. Clean tight and unmarked with moderate wear to original red boards.
