GUNTHER, JOHN

Inside Europe Today

NY: Harper & Brothers, 1961. Book Club Edition. Hard Cover. Bound in publisher's full black cloth, reverse gilt (black) lettering on gilt and blue label on spine and cover, maps on blue endpapers. Illustrated with maps. Includes detailed Index. John Gunther (1901-1970) was an American journalist and novelist. He wrote: "I have devoted myself for twenty years to writing of some sort or other. My bent has been toward journalism from the beginning. I was a Chicago boy, educated in the public schools there, and I remember writing pieces about the Russian Revolution and so on even when I was in high school. At college (the University of Chicago) I was the literary editor of the campus paper, the Daily Maroon. I went to Europe for the Chicago Daily News in 1924 and worked for the News there for twelve years. I was at one time or another in charge of Daily News offices in London, Berlin, Vienna, Moscow, Rome, and Paris, and I also visited Poland, Spain, the Balkans, and Scandinavia. I have worked in every European country except Portugal. I saw at first hand the whole extraordinary panorama of Europe from 1924 to 1936. In 1936 I wrote Inside Europe, which drew on these experiences. This book has had a striking success all over the world. I was fortunate in that it appeared at just the right time, when the three totalitarian dictators took the stage and people began to be vitally interested in them. Inside Europe has been repeatedly revised and republished. " John Gunther's principal works include: Novels - The Red Pavilion (1926) ; Peter Lancelot: An Amusement (1927) ; Eden for One: An Amusement (1927) ; The Golden Fleece (1929) ; The Bright Nemesis (1932) ; The Troubled Midnight (1945) ; The Lost City (1964) ; The Indian Sign (1970) His journalistic and political works include - Inside Europe (1936) ; The High Cost of Hitler (1939) ; Inside Asia (1939) ; Inside Latin America (1941) ; D Day (1944) ; Inside U. S. A. (1947) ; Behind the Curtain (1949) ; Inside Africa (1955) ; Days to Remember: America, 1945-1955 (1956) ; Inside Russia Today (1958) ; Inside Europe Today (1961) ; Procession (1965) ; Inside South America (1967) ; Twelve Cities (1969) ; John Gunther's Inside Australia (1972) His biographies include - Roosevelt in Retrospect: A Profile in History (1950) ; The Riddle of MacArthur: Japan, Korea, and the Far East (1951) ; Eisenhower, the Man and the Symbol (1952). The volume is in excellent condition, with a slightly shelf-worn spine, else fine; unmarked, seemingly unread, tight, square, and clean. The dust jacket is moderately chipped and worn along the edges, one corner wrinkled, else very good. VERY GOOD/GOOD.. Book Club Edition.

HAGEL, CHUCK; PETER KAMINSKY

America: Our Next Chapter: Tough Questions, Straight Answers

NY: HarperCollins, 2008. 0061436968. Stated First Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. ISBN: 0061436968. Publisher's full purple cloth, silver lettering on spine. Chuck Hagel, Nebraska's senior senator, is serving his second term in the U.S. Senate. His duties include membership on four senate committees: Foreign Relations; Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs; Intelligence; and Rules. Hagel and his brother Tom served side by side in Vietnam in 1968 as infantry squad leaders with the U.S. Army's 9th Infantry Division. He earned many military decorations and honors, including two Purple Hearts. A fourth-generation Nebraskan, Senator Hagel is a graduate of the University of Nebraska at Omaha. In "America: Our Next Chapter," Hagel speaks the truth as he sees it in a direct and refreshingly unvarnished manner. Basing his suggestions on thorough research and careful thought, as well as on personal insight from his years as a political insider, successful businessman, and decorated war hero, he discusses domestic issues including the health care crisis, immigration, and Social Security and Medicare reform and global climate change. He confronts foreign policy problems that the current administration has bungled or ignored, including China's growing economy; control of U.S. debt; India's and Pakistan's nuclear capabilities; and Iran's aggressive political, ideological, and nuclear stances. He decries the pervasive disease of third world poverty, arguing convincingly that this is where the real fight against terrorism must begin. Always true to the beliefs instilled in his childhood on the prairie, he speaks passionately about service to one's country and to one's fellow citizens as the path toward a renewed America. And, of course, he gives a candid examination of the debacle that is the Iraq War.. Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket are in perfect, pristine condition; unread, unmarked, tight, square, and clean. AS NEW/AS NEW.. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. 306 pp. As New in As New dust jacket .
