Bound in the original gray cloth lettered in gold on the spine. From the Dust Jacket: "Manfred von Richthofen the 'Red Baron' has proven to be the most durable of modem war heroes. Besides being World War I's highest-scoring ace he was a Wagnerian hero for the Germans in two world wars has had one of his country's new jet squadrons named for him and is the un-seen anti-hero of the universally popular Peanuts comic strip. Mr. Burrows believes that the analysis of the Red Baron's mystique cannot be left to aviation buffs alone. The young Prussian's thirst for fame compulsion for hunting apparent indifference to women relationship with his mother and obedience to Prussian tradition were all part of the forces that made him the ace of aces. Beyond these strong forces however lay the shadowy but pervasive propaganda machine an official apparatus which was obliged to inflate Germany's heroes in an attempt to keep a war-weary population's mind off empty stomachs and the clear Communist threat to the Kaiser's weakening regime. The war could not be won and Richthofen knew it. Berlin and its propagandists gave Richthofen the fame he sought. Command and the coveted Blue Max medal were his. But in the end he choked on his fame and the adulation that followed in its train. Sadly he was to be as useful to the Fatherland dead as he had been alive.". First Edition so stated. Hard Cover.

No owner's name or bookplate. Bright clean square tight and unmarked. Sharp corners. Fresh and crisp. Illustrated with 24 photographs. From the Dust Jacket: "He was a dazzling player at Arizona State in 1966 so promising that the major-league scouts drooled at the chance to draft him. Yet the Mets bypassed him in the first round because says Reggie he had a white girlfriend - later his wife! It was a slight Reggie Jackson would never forget. An awesome batter with 411 home runs at the end of the 1980 season he powered the Yanks into the tense pennant race of 1977 yet a testy Billy Martin removed him from right field in the middle of a game in Boston before national television cameras. A hostile Martin alleged he didn't hustle. It was another slight Reggie Jackson would never forget. It was a combination of these and other insults which created the Reggie Jackson we know today - an arrogant 'hot dog' to his critics a beloved Babe Ruth-like hero to his devotees. Maury Allen the biographer of definitive books on Stengel and DiMaggio makes real and understandable the most highly controversial and enormously complex player in the game. MR. OCTOBER traces Reggie's life from his formative years as a black boy in a Jewish suburb of Philadelphia; to his early years in major-league baseball with the Oakland A's under the tyrannical ownership of maverick Charlie Finley; to his now legendary heroics and feuds with the Yankees of Billy Martin and George Steinbrenner. The book is more than a conventional baseball biography. It is also an indictment of the continuing racism and bigotry rampant in baseball today more than thirty years after Jackie Robinson's arrival in Brooklyn. Allen's portrait of the superstar's personal life reveals his complexity. Reggie is a man essentially alone who may spend more time with his houseplants and Fifth Avenue doormen than with any given circle. His only marriage a fairytale romance with a campus beauty came to an end as Reggie became obsessed with his all-consuming baseball career. MR. OCTOBER is an extraordinary portrait not only because of the subject himself but because of Maury Allen's perceptions and his close rapport with Reggie Jackson." .
