	GILL, ANTON. AN HONOURABLE DEFEAT: A History of German Resistance to Hitler, 1933-1945. New York: Henry Holt, (1995.) Full size book club edition. Based on interviews with the few survivors and their families, this is a comprehensive look at those who resisted the power of Hitler and the Nazis from inside Germany. The numbers are small. Scattered across the landscape that was Nazi Germany, the Resistance looks puny: too little, too late. And yet, in the context of a police state, it assumes larger proportions. For those who have never known life under such a regime, it is hard to grasp the daily terror that makes an act of political graffiti a capital offense, that labels resistance 'treason.' Illustrated with maps and photographs, with a chart of resistance groups. Includes chronology, a 'who's who', notes, bibliography and index. 293 pp. Near fine in fine dust jacket (prev owner's name.)

Those thirteen days of September 1959 will go down in history as memorable days.. . the visit of the head of government of the mightiest socialist power to the United States, the mightiest capitalist country, has no precedent in history.We, a group of Soviet writers and journalists, had the good fortune of accompanying the head of the Soviet Government on his tour of the United States of America. We were first-hand witnesses of Khruschov's meetings with statesmen, Senators, trade-union leaders, businessmen and ordinary Americans. We kept records of all events, we talked to rank-and-file Americans and studied data about the United States and the so-called American way of life. We gathered facts and drew conclusions.
