‎Szymusiak, Molyda‎

‎THE STONES CRY OUT: A Cambodian Childhood 1975-1980‎

‎New York N. Y. U.S.A.: Hill and Wang 1986. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Translated from the French by Linda Coverdale. In 1975 Molyda Szymusiak her adoptive name the daughter of a high Cambodian official was twelve years old and leading a relatively peaceful life in Phnom Penh. Suddenly on April 17 Khmer Rouge radicals seized the capital and drove all its inhabitants into the countryside. The chaos that followed has been widely publicized most notably in 'The Killing Fields.' Murderous brutality coupled with raging famine caused the death of more than two million people nearly a third of the population. What has not been adequately documented in the unalleviated horror Cambodians experienced in daily life told for the first time in this remarkable memoir. From the start the author kept her identity a secret assuming a 'revolutionary' name to avoid being branded as an aristocrat. Her father mother aunt and uncle struggled to save the twenty members of their two families but one by one they starved or were executed until only Molyda and three younger cousins survived. Through it all she watched and remembered and her child's-eye view--unencumbered by doctrine or statistics--vividly communicates the total breakdown of her society. Perhaps most striking is Molyda's ability to retain her humanity despite the innumerable atrocities she witnessed. THE STONES CRY OUT is a testament to the courage and resiliency of the Cambodian people and to the 'astonishing spiritual strength that kept the survivors going.' The time period covered here extends from Gerald Ford's assumption of the presidency in 1975 following Richard Nixon's Watergate-related resignation through Jimmy Carter's term to the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980--a time of American retrenchment from Asia after the debacle of Vietnam.

‎DANZIGER'S ADVENTURES: From Miami to Kabul.‎

‎London: HarperCollins Publishers Limited 1992. First British Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. He is a traveller who brings many talents to his journeying and is is to be hoped that he will take to the road again." So wrote the 'Times Litterary Supplement' about Nick Danziger's remarkable first book DANZIGER'S TRAVELS in which he journeyed incognito through Iran Afghanistan and China. Now we learn what Danziger did next: more extraordinary episodes involving danger pathos and comedy as the author swings from rags to riches and back again in some of the most outlandish places on earth. Danziger's assignments bring him into contact with both the unimaginably rich in Miami Palm Beach and on the QEII as well as the wretchedly dispossessed in Afghanistan and on the borders between Iraq and Turkey and between Mexico and the U.S.A. Vivid encounters with the designer yuppies and glitterati of New York and California are followed by a photographic commission that brings him face-to-face with a horrific massacre of Kurdish refugees in Turkey--and a narrow escape from death. Returning to Kabul after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan he finds the city under rocket attack by his old friends the mujahedeen and sees for himself the pointless destruction and terror occurring on both sides of the forgotten war. He attends the Ayatollah Khomeini's funeral in Tehran amidst scenes of mass hysteria; goes in search of the Tuareg in Libya and mingles with the would-be 'wetback' immigrants from Tijuana--some of whom literally dig their way into the United States. Throughout DANZIGER'S ADVENTURES is full of gripping incidents and colorful encounters linked by an eye for the bizarre and a profound awareness of our common humanity. Illustrated with 24 pp. of colour and 8 pp.of black-and-white photographs by the author.

‎THE LIFE AND TIMES OF RICHARD III‎

Richard III is one of the most mysterious and controversial figures in English history. His early life is overshadowed by the prominenece of his older brothers Edward 'the sun of York' and the feckless Clarence and comparatively little is known about him. But the untimely death of Edward IV in 1483 forced Richard into the limelight and the last three years of his life have taken on the character of a detective story. Did Richard really believe his brother and nephews were illegitimate Why did he seize the throne What did happen to the Princes in the tower It was only natural that Henry Tudor should vilify his predecessor and hold him responsible for every heinous deed. But some later historians have tried to redress the balance and portray Richard III as the most unfairly maligned and glorious monach of the period. Anthony Cheetham cuts through the legend and the propaganda and reaches back to retrace the forgotten period of Richard's life. He thus places in context those final years before the last of the Plantagenets died on Bosworth field. With sixteen pages of color plates and 100 illustrations in black-and-white.
