INSIDE OUT: A Memoir of the Blacklist
New York NY U.S.A.: Alfred A. Knopf Inc. 1996. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An immensely alive witty and generous memoir of the blacklist nightmare by a writer who was himself blacklisted in the anti-Communist hysteria simply to be accused of being Red was enough to destroy a career in film radio or television that hit America in the 1940s and culminated in the McCarthyism of the 1950s. Bernstein vividly records his journey through the decades when mention in 'Red Channels' meant professional death and the Hollywood community was torn between those who were willing and those who refused to obtain a reprieve by denouncing their leftist even left-leaning friends and colleagues to the anti-Red zealots. His book includes fascinating glimpses of leading Hollywood figures--the great and the terrible the brave and the craven.

Dearborn, Mary V.
MAILER: A Biography
New York NY U.S.A.: Houghton Mifflin Company 1999. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Norman Mailer is "our chronicler our critic our designated male chauvinist our court jester our devil's advocate the thorn in our collective side" writes Mary V. Dearborn. Undeniably one of the most controversial figures of the past half-century Mailer has also been one of the most influential. Twice a winner of the Pulitzer Prize once a candidate for mayor of New York City a best-selling author at age twenty-three with THE NAKED AND THE DEAD a founder of the 'Village Voice' he has both made the news and commented on it with an originality that has permanently altered America's literary landscape. In part Mailer's genius has rested on the intersection of his private and public lives. By inserting himself into the seismic events he has described Mailer has given them immediacy--and demanded that readers apprehend them with equivalent imagination and intensity. Dearborn had unprecedented access to Mailer's friends relations and antagonists who provided key insights to fill in the familiar outlines of the Mailer myth--the brawls and arrests the wives and mistresses the brilliant successes and notorious failures. Crossing Mailer's path--sometimes to their peril--is a cast of stellar and diverse characters including Muhammad Ali John F. Kennedy Germaine Greer Jimmy Breslin Arthur Schlesinger Jr. Shelley Winters Andy Warhol and many others. As the acclaimed biographer of both Henry Miller one of Mailer's heroes and the radical journalist Louise Bryant Dearborn is uniquely sensitive to Mailer's best and worst sides. Her account is the most clear-headed and balanced evaluation to date. As splendidly told by Mary Dearborn Mailer's story is for good or ill the story of our times.

THE OPERATOR
New York NY U.S.A.: Random House Inc. 2000. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Complex contentious and blessed with the perfect-pitch ability to find the next big talent David Geffen has shaped American popular culture for the last three decades. His dazzling career has included the roles of power agent record-industry mogul Broadway producer and billionaire Hollywood studio founder. From the beginning though Geffen's many accomplishments have been shadowed by the ruthless single-mindedness with which he has pursued fame power and money. In THE OPERATOR Tom King--who interviewed Geffen for the book and had unimpeded access to Geffen's circle of intimates--captures the real David Geffen and tells a great American story about success and the bargains made for it. Written with Geffen's cooperation--though not his authorization--THE OPERATOR is an explosive illusion-shattering story that details the mogul's indisputable contributions to entertainment history while also baring the man behind the legend.

New York NY U.S.A.: Saint Martin's Press LLC 1999. First U.S. Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ON BURNING GROUND is a tour de force--the dramatic account of one man's improbable efforts to survive the Holocaust. Fleeing the slaughter in his Polish hometown of Novogrudek Navaredok Joseph Skakun assumes a series of false identities--first as a Christian then as a Muslim and finally as a recruit of the Nazi SS--in order to stay alive in the vortex of hell. Constantly fearing exposure and death Skakun lives to see the downfall of the most brutal horror of the modern age. Weaving philosophical meditations into his father's horrific wartime story Michael Skakun offers a personal yet epic account of war and bloodshed of unspeakable cruelty and unnameable crimes. Reflecting on the nature of guilt and the irreparable damage wrought by human brutality in its most naked form this story is nothing less than that of the legacy of the post-Holocaust Jews and one son's attempt to claim the inheritance of suffering.

MAESTRO: Greenspan's Fed and The American Boom
New York NY U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster 2000. First Edition First Printing 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. On eight Tuesdays each year Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan convenes a small committee to set the short-term interest rate that can move through the American and world economies like an electric jolt. As much as any the committee's actions determine the economic well-being of very American. The availability of money for business or consumer loans mortages job creation and overall national economic growth all flows from those decisions. Perhaps the last Washington secret is how the Federal Reserve and its enigmatic chairman Alan Greenspan operate. Greenspan appears in MAESTRO up close as never before--alternately nervous and calm plunging into mathematics one moment and politics the next skeptical dispassionate always struggling--often alone.

Knightley, Phillip
THE MASTER SPY: The Story of Kim Philby
New York NY U.S.A.: Alfred A Knopf Inc. 1989. First American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Harold Adrian Russell 'Kim' Philby was one of the most remarkable spies in the history of espionage. It took him only nine years to rise through the ranks of the British Secret Intelligence Service to become in 1949 at the age of thirty-seven liaison officer to the CIA and FBI a position that put him at the nerve center of the Western intelligence war against the Soviets. Yet Kim Philby--upper-class Cambridge-educated the quintessential Englishman--was also a KGB officer. Philby's defection to the Soviet Union in 1963 sent shock waves though the intelligence communities in London and Washington. It would take years before the extent of the damage he'd done to Western security could be fully assessed. Then in the month before his death twenty-five years after his defection Philby talked at great length to British journalist Phillip Knightley telling his story in its entirety for the first time. THE MASTER SPY has all the suspense intrigue and excitement of the great novels of espionage. As told here Philby's story gives us an unprecedentedly clear compelling picture of the man and the master spy before and after defection. And it reveals as never before the dark astonishing world that Philby both inhabited and--by virtue of the nature of his life--helped to create. Fine in near-fine price-clipped mylar-protected dust jacket. B/M <br/> <br/> Alfred A Knopf, Inc. hardcover
