Mullins, Eustace (Signed)
This Difficult Individual Ezra Pound
Hollywood California: Angriff Press. Good in Good dust jacket. 1979. Reprint. Hardcover. 0913022284 . Signed and inscribed by Eustace Mullins upon title page. "Ezra Pound is the most controversial literary figure of our time. The man who edited the work of Yeats and T.S. Eliot was also tried for treason and sent to an insane asylum. Here for the first time Mullins presents the case for Ezra Pound documenting the tremendous contribution he made to contemporary American culture in a witty and biting criticism of our society which gives lip service to poetry while imprisoning its major poet. Contains excerpts from the controversial broadcasts Pound made from Italy during WWII. The chief complaint against him seems to have been that he refused to take part in the slaughter of the war. While so many millions were dipping their hands in blood he asked only for peace." - dust jacket. Pound also educated Mullins about the Federal Reserve which ultimately led to Mullins becoming perhaps America's pre-eminent conspiracy author in later decades. Reprint of the 1961 first edition. Undated but appears to be circa 1979. Book tight clean and unmarked with light wear. Moderate wear to complete dust jacket which is sunned at spine and now in glossy new archival-grade protection.

We cannot fail to be interested in the account by a man on the spot and in a key position of such fateful events as the Deir Yassin massacre the ambushing of the Hebrew University staff the hanging of the sergeants and the outrage at Ben Yehudah Street; but far more important there emerges a remarkably complete picture of life in Palestine during this critical period." - dust jacket. 238 p.

He later became president of the Maccabaeans. Bentwich was a founder of the British Zionist Federation in 1899. From 1916 to 1918 he served on the Zionist political advisory committee under Chaim Weizmann.

Nercessian, Baruir
I Walked Through The Valley of Death Armenian Genocide Personal Narrative
New York: Self-Published. Very Good. 2003. First Edition. Paperback. "Baruir Nercessian has created this book as a living witness and a precious link to our people's Armenian genocide. He emerges from the 'valley of death' walking always barefoot toward his personal undeniable history into the maelstrom of a merciless world. In some rare but painful descriptions as in the case of the village priest being burned alive in his home or the horrendous act of a gendarme 'lightening the load' of a young mother by throwing her new-born into the river the author once again sounds the alarm of reality and truth: the reality that man's inhumanity to man demonstrates how mankind has distanced itself from his own true essence." - Foreword. 45 4 pages. Clean tight and unmarked with light wear. A quality example. ; 12mo . Self-Published paperback

He taught at what are now Eastern Michigan University and the University of Idaho. Unwilling to 'play the game' of formal academia he purchased a business in Detroit retiring at age 53 to devote himself to research and writing. He wrote many books particularly on the roots of Christianity the IRS and the Federal Reserve. Along the way we learn of his multiple marriages and how demographic change in Detroit severely affected his investments in rental properties.
