Giovannetti Giulio; Lacchetti Umberto
Il trofeo Ford di rallycross. Una realtà tutta italiana
br. «L'idea di scrivere questo libro nasce dall'esigenza di colmare un "vuoto" esistente in letteratura, perché nessun testo dedicato all'automobilismo sportivo aveva mai affrontato in maniera organica la storia e la genesi del Trofeo Ford di Rallycross, quell'avvincente campionato organizzato dalla Ford Italia che richiamava l'attenzione di numerosi appassionati a cavallo tra gli anni sessanta e settanta, tramandato ai giorni nostri da alcune sequenze del noto film "Altrimenti ci arrabbiamo" con Bud Spencer e Terence Hill. Insomma abbiamo voluto creare il libro che abbiamo sempre sognato di leggere, ma che nessuno si era mai preso l'onere e l'onore di scrivere!».

Jarvis, Robert
The "Komagata Maru" Incident - A Canadian Immigration Battle Revisited
48 pages. Follow-up work to "The Workingman's Revolt: The Vancouver Asiatic Exclusion Rally of 1907." "... Jarvis has dug into the historical record, and gone to the original sources... and discovered that things were not as we had been told. The eventual decision by waffling federal authorities to expel the 'Komogata Maru' was a reluctant bow to overwhelming public opinion, that was firmly opposed to changing B.C.'s population." - from introduction. Some black and white ilustrations. Above-average wear. Unmarked. A worthy reference copy. Book

Jarvis, Robert
The Workingman's Revolt: The Vancouver Asiatic Exclusion Rally of 1907
56 pages including footnotes and advertisements. Includes several pertinent cartoons from Vancouver newspapers of the early 1900s. "In the course of preliminary research (of the Komagata Maru incident in 1914) I discovered a true Canadian hero, William Hopkinson, an immigration inspector in Vancouver, who conducted undercover operations among Indian immigrants. It was his intelligence briefings and advice that helped stiffen the backbone of the government in dealing with the shipload of illegals. In preparation for C-FAR's rally in Vancouver to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Hopkinson's assassination by a Sikh extremist, I asked Robert Jarvis to research the Vancouver archives on Hopkinson and the events surrounding the Komagata Maru. His investigations let to this booklet. He quickly found that the strong opposition - by politicians and labour - to the Komagata Maru could be traced back to the activitiess of the Asiatic Exclusion Leage, formed some eight years before. What Mr. Jarvis has found is a long ignored and misreported chapter in Canadian history." - Paul Fromm, from Introduction. Unmarked. Light wear. Nice copy. Book
