Beyond Hitler's Grasp the Heroic Rescue of Bulgaria's Jews

Holbrook, MA: Adams Media Corp, 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 1580620604. Only slight wear ; A bright, solid book dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped, stated first.; B&W Illustrations; 9.4 X 6.0 X 1.4 inches; 298 pages; "During World War II, hundreds of thousands of Jews were deported from the Balkan states to labor and extermination camps in Germany and Poland. Bulgaria, with a Jewish population of only 50,000, sided with Hitler's government early on, its king having become convinced that only with German aid could he successfully press his territorial claims to land lost to Greece and Romania. Yet, in the face of constant German demands, Bulgaria's government refused to deport the nation's Jewish citizens. Instead, as the Bulgarian-born Israeli politician Michael Bar-Zohar writes in this fine contribution to Holocaust studies, "the Bulgarian Jews became the only Jewish community in the Nazi sphere of influence whose number increased during World War II.".

The Trial of the Templars

London: The Folio Society, 2003. Reprint. Hardcover. Illustrated by Map Endpapers. Slight wear only to book and paper covered slipcase. Slipcase has light soil. ; Red cloth covered boards with gilt design on front and black titled bordered in white on spine, map endpapers, B&W and color illustrations ; 9.70 X 6.70 X 1.50 inches; 382 pages; The text of this edition follows that of the 1993 Canto printing with some emendations by the author. The book was first published in 1978 by Cambridge University Press. "The Templars fought against Islam in the crusader east for nearly two centuries. During that time the original small band grew into a formidable army, backed by an extensive network of preceptories in the Latin West. In October 1307, the members of this seemingly invulnerable and respected Order were arrested on the orders of Philip IV, King of France and charged with serious heresies, including the denial of Christ, homosexuality and idol worship. The ensuing proceedings lasted for almost five years and culminated in the suppression of the Order. The motivations of the participants and the long-term repercussions of the trial have been the subject of intense and unresolved controversy, which still has resonances in our own time. In this new edition of his classic account, Malcolm Barber discusses the trial in the context of new work on the crusades, heresy, the papacy and the French monarchy.".

The Two Cities Medieval Europe, 1050

London: Routledge, 1992. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0415067804. DJ shows light edge wear & creasing ; A bright, solid book, DJ in Mylar ; B&W Illustrations; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 581 pages; 'The Two Cities' has become an essential text for students of medieval history. 'Two Cities' covers a colorful period from the schism between the eastern and western churches to the death of Dante. It encompasses the Crusades, the expansionist force of the Normans, major developments in the way kings, emperors and Popes exercised their powers, a great flourishing of art and architecture and the foundation of the very first universities. Running through it is the defining characteristic of the high Middle Ages--the delicate relationship between the spiritual and secular worlds. In medieval times, these two essential elements of life were seen as the two 'cities' of the title, they could not be divided but there was constant tension between them. This survey provides all the facts and background information that students need, and is defined into straightforward thematic chapters. It makes extensive use of primary sources, and makes new trends in research accessible to students. Its fresh approach gives students the most rounded, lively and integrated view of the high Middle Ages available.. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket .
