Clancy, Tom
THE CARDINAL OF THE KREMLIN
New York NY U.S.A.: Putnam 1988. 1st ed. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped nor remaindered. Author looks to the skies and one of the most remarkable technological competitions of our time--the race to develop "Star Wars." 543 pages. "n his fourth book Clancy uses nuclear strategies to probe the ambiguities of fighting the good fightthe Americans vs. the Soviets. By the time familiar hero Jack Ryan steps in to investigate mysterious structures on the Soviet-Afghan border the Soviets have struck again by zapping a satellite with a free electron laser. The title's cardinal an elite well-placed source in the Kremlin leaks details of this secret activity to the United States. In the backdrop of technological bravura spiced by artful espionage and all-too-human mistakes intelligence is transferred back and forth and there are attacks and counterattacks. It is a mark of Clancy's growing maturity as a writer that he can bring these subtleties into highly entertaining form." -- Publishers Weekly. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book.

Cornwell, John
HITLER'S POPE: The Secret History of Pius XII
New York NY U.S.A.: Viking Penguin 1999. 1st Edition . Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This devastating account of the ecclesiastical career of Eugenio Pacelli 1876-1958 who became Pope Pius XII in 1939 is all the more powerful because British historian John Cornwell maintains throughout a measured though strongly critical tone. After World War II murmurs of Pacelli's callous indifference to the plight of Europe's Jews began to be heard. A noted commentator on Catholic issues Cornwell began research for this book believing that "if his full story were told Pius XII's pontificate would be exonerated." Instead he emerged from the Vatican archives in a state of "moral shock" concluding that Pacelli displayed anti-Semitic tendencies early on and that his drive to promote papal absolutism inexorably led him to collaboration with fascist leaders. Cornwell convincingly depicts Cardinal Secretary of State Pacelli pursuing Vatican diplomatic goals that crippled Germany's large Catholic political party which might otherwise have stymied Hitler's worst excesses. The author's condemnation has special force because he portrays the admittedly eccentric Pacelli not as a monster but as a symptom of a historic wrong turn in the Catholic Church. He meticulously builds his case for the painful conclusion that "Pacelli's failure to respond to the enormity of the Holocaust was more than a personal failure it was a failure of the papal office itself and the prevailing culture of Catholicism." --Wendy Smith As new unread first edition first printing in fine mylar-protected dust jacket.Not remainder-marked or price-clipped NFBS2 <br/> <br/> Viking Penguin hardcover

Crozier, Brian.
THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SOVIET EMPIRE.
Rocklin CA: Prima Publishing 1999. First Edition Second Printing . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. In this seminal work the eminent British writer and historian Brian Crozier tells the brutal history of the Soviet Union--its birth life and sudden death. The book begins at the beginning in 1917 when the oversized dreams of Lenin and the happenstance of events conspired to change the course of history. In meticulous detail Crozier follows the Soviet conquests across Europe and into Asia Africa and the Western Hemisphere. He uses recently declassified information from Soviet archives to add texture and depth to the story--the betrayal at Yalta the terror of Stalin the tragedy of Hungary the split with China the false hope of Prague Spring the rise of Castro the invasion of Afghanistan and the crumbling of the Berlin Wall. Revealed along the way is the dark underside of a regime whose march toward supremacy resulted in the loss of tens of millions of lives. Provocative comprehensive and majestic in scope THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SOVIET EMPIRE is the definitive account of history's most turbulent days. Fine unread copy in fine mylar-protected dust jacket. 830pp. <br/> <br/> Prima Publishing hardcover

[RUSSIA] -
Russian workmen.
mid. XIX c. . Original watercolour 23 x 29 cm. Mounted and framed. <br /> mba004 This charming watercolour shows a group of four Russian workmen in front of semi-derelict barracks. The expressions and gestures of the figures endow the work with life and character as three men leaning on long staffs dressed in heavy coats with high hats of fur or wool turn to glare at a passing official in braided coat who gingerly raises his peaked cap in response. The work is both a delightful study of local costumes in nineteenth century Russia and a window into the life of the lower classes in the Empire at the time.<br /> [mid. XIX c.]. unknown

[RUSSIA]. [SLAVONIC LITURGY].
Kanonik. Book of Canons.
Russia 1866. . 4to 23 x 185 cm. Illuminated manuscript on paper ff. 4 index 4 blank 344 17 lines per page alphabetic signatures and pagination of Cyrillic alphabetic numerals 35 full-page illuminations in watercolour 36 headpieces in black and gold with first lines in gilt; occasional light spotting and soiling mostly marginal. Contemporary gilt-stamped red morocco gilt spine with raised bands edges gilt and gauffered gilt endpapers; slightly rubbed lacking both clasps.<br /> An exceptionally fine example of an Old Believer liturgical book beautifully illustrated with 35 full-page illuminations.<br /><br />Created by a skilful master they depict in great detail the most significant events of the New Testament including the Annunciation the Nativity the Baptism of Christ the Ascension the Twelve Apostles and more.<br /><br />This volume was made for and used by Old Believers who separated from the official Russian Orthodox Church as a protest against church reforms introduced by Patriarch Nikon of Moscow between 1652 and 1666. These Old Believers refused to accept alterations and amendments to the Holy texts aimed at bringing their religious practice closer to the 'original' Greek Orthodoxy. They refused to allow sacred texts to be printed instead reproducing them as manuscripts. <br /><br />The large size of this book its high-quality paper neat script very detailed illuminations and attractive gilt binding prove beyond doubt that no expense was spared on its production. As the colophon indicates it was made for Evdokiia Ivanovna Babaeva the wife of a merchant in Kolomna which was then an important trade point near Moscow. There are records of several men with this surname in Kolomna during the mid-XIX century all of them owners of factories in the city and probably members of the same wealthy merchant family. Kolomna was also important as a centre of the Old Believer community. The city's Bishop Paul fiercely opposed Patriarch Nikon's reforms and was consequently stripped of the rank of Bishop exiled and eventually killed in 1656 rendering him a martyr in the view of many Old Believers.A century later 156 Old Believers were officially registered in Kolomna then a city of 5400 inhabitants. Many more practised their beliefs in secret to avoid persecution.<br /><br />This volume later belonged to Cornelius J. Hauck 1893-1967 whose outstanding and somewhat eclectic collection was formed with the help of the well-respected antiquarian bookseller Emil Offenbacher between 1945 and 1965. The collection was given to the Cincinnati Historical Society Library in 1966 where it remained largely unknown to the world until part of it was auctioned by Christie's in New York in 2006.<br /><br />Russian manuscripts of this quality and preserved in such pristine condition are extremely rare.<br /> S.S.
