Can We Win in Vietnam The American Dilemma
Pall Mall Press London 1968 An exceptional copy of the first British edition inscribed to Elmo Zumwalt and SIGNED by Herman Kahn on the front free endpaper. The inscription is dated December 11 1969 and reads: "To Bud Zumwalt Who is well on his way to making the answer to the question asked by the title a resounding yes! If you have the time I hope you will enjoy this." Red cloth-covered boards grey cloth-covered spine gilt spine lettering bright 8 5/8 x 5 7/8 inches 427 pp. maps. Book near fine a small spot of staining lower aspect of pp. 15-18 not affecting text; else fine. Dustcover very good moderate edgewear. "Herman Kahn February 15 1922 July 7 1983 was a founder of the Hudson Institute and one of the preeminent futurists of the latter part of the twentieth century. He originally came to prominence as a military strategist and systems theorist while employed at the RAND Corporation. He became known for analyzing the likely consequences of nuclear war and recommending ways to improve survivability making him one of three historical inspirations for the title character of Stanley Kubrick's classic black comedy film satire Dr. Strangelove." "Elmo Russell "Bud" Zumwalt Jr. November 29 1920 January 2 2000 was an American naval officer and the youngest man to serve as Chief of Naval Operations. As an admiral and later the 19th Chief of Naval Operations Zumwalt played a major role in U.S. military history especially during the Vietnam War --- Zumwalt's eldest son Elmo Zumwalt III served as lieutenant on one of Zumwalt's patrol boats during the Vietnam War. In January 1983 he was diagnosed with lymphoma and in 1985 it was discovered that he also had Hodgkin's disease. In addition his son Elmo Russell Zumwalt IV had been born in 1977 with severe learning disabilities. Admiral Zumwalt and his family were convinced that both son and grandson were victims of Agent Orange which the admiral had ordered to be sprayed over the Mekong Delta to kill vegetation and drive "the Viet Cong back 1000 yards off the water's edge". In an article published in The New York Times in 1986 Elmo Zumwalt III said: 'I am a lawyer and I don't think I could prove in court by the weight of the existing scientific evidence that Agent Orange is the cause of all the medical problems - nervous disorders cancer and skin problems - reported by Vietnam veterans or of their children's severe birth defects. But I am convinced that it is.'" 1722RO088. Signed by Authors. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Pall Mall Press, London hardcover

Hans Frank's Diary
Warsaw Poland: Panstwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe. 1961. First English Edition. Hardcover. Fair in Fair dust jacket. 320 pages. Name index. Subject index. "A shortened version of the second edition 1957 of a work first published in Polish under the title 'Dziennik Hansa Franka' Hans Frank's Diary. Frank was a Minister of the Third Reich and Governor General of those areas of Poland occupied by Nazi Germany which were not incorporated into the Reich. At the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg for the first time in the history of the world thousands of secret documents were revealed belonging to a state in the grip of the imperialist idea of world conquest. Among those documents Hans Frank's Diary occupies one of the leading positions both on account of its contents and on account of its more than ordinary length: 11000 typwritten pages in foolscap making up 38 volumes. Any study of the history of the last war must include a reading of Hans Frank's Diary." - Preface. Author was a member of the Polish delegation to the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. Usual library markings. Above-average wear. Front hinge taped. Back hinge going. A worthy reading copy of this very important work.

A beautiful binding and a clean book block. Oliver Wendell Holmes appears in the 1829 list. The Wikipedia entry on Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. is excellent. "Holmes was awarded his M.D. from Harvard in 1836; he wrote his dissertation on acute pericarditis. .He also gained a greater reputation after winning Harvard Medical School's prestigious Boylston Prize for which he submitted a paper on the benefits of using the stethoscope a device with which many American doctors were not familiar. .He often criticized traditional medical practices and once quipped that if all contemporary medicine was tossed into the sea "it would be all the better for mankindand all the worse for the fishes". .he composed a series of three lectures dedicated to exposing medical fallacies or "quackeries". .he took great pains to reveal the false reasoning and misrepresentation of evidence that marked subjects such as "Astrology and Alchemy" his first lecture and "Medical Delusions of the Past" his second. He deemed homeopathy the subject of his third lecture "the pretended science" that was a "mingled mass of perverse ingenuity of tinsel erudition of imbecile credulity and of artful misrepresentation too often mingled in practice". .In 1843 Holmes published "The Contagiousness of Puerperal Fever" in the short-lived publication New England Quarterly Journal of Medicine and Surgery. The essay arguedcontrary to popular belief at the time which predated germ theory of diseasethat the cause of puerperal fever a deadly infection contracted by women during or shortly after childbirth stems from patient to patient contact via their physicians. Holmes gathered a large collection of evidence for this theory including stories of doctors who had become ill and died after performing autopsies on patients who had likewise been infected. In concluding his case he insisted that a physician in whose practice even one case of puerperal fever had occurred had a moral obligation to purify his instruments burn the clothing he had worn while assisting in the fatal delivery and cease obstetric practice for a period of at least six months. A few years later Ignaz Semmelweis would reach similar conclusions in Vienna where his introduction of prophylaxis handwashing in chlorine solution before assisting at delivery would considerably lower the puerperal mortality rate. Though it largely escaped notice when first published Holmes eventually came under attack by two distinguished professors of obstetricsHugh L. Hodge and Charles D. Meigswho adamantly denied his theory of contagion. .Charles D. Meigs an opponent of Holmes's theory regarding the contagious nature of puerperal fever wrote that doctors are gentlemen and "gentlemen's hands are clean". .In 1855 Holmes chose to republish the essay in the form of a pamphlet under the new title Puerperal Fever as a Private Pestilence. In a new introduction in which Holmes directly addressed his opponents he wrote: "I had rather rescue one mother from being poisoned by her attendant than claim to have saved forty out of fifty patients to whom I had carried the disease." He added "I beg to be heard in behalf of the women whose lives are at stake until some stronger voice shall plead for them." The then controversial work is now considered a landmark in germ theory of disease. .In 1846 Holmes coined the word "anesthesia". .While dean Holmes attempted to admit the first African-Americans and the first woman to the Harvard Medical School." 3214027. 1st Edition.
