Habe, Hans.
OUR LOVE AFFAIR WITH GERMANY.
247p. 8vo. Original full cloth binding. Original dust jacket, spine faded. Important review of post war Germany. Highly critical of Allied policy. Especially the failure of de-Nazification. A Hungarian-born journalist, Habe believes that "we and our Allies have missed the boat badly in Germany, and may actually have brought World War III nearer by our contradictory and unsound policies - The Nuremberg war-guilt trials, the ban against fraternization (resulting in 93,000 illegitimate children), the unsuccessful de-Nazification program, the many neo-Nazi movements, and finally the unpopular remilitarization program of the present all seem to be signs of grave failure."

In 1777, when British armed forces threatened occupation of Philadelphia, the Liberty Bell and other important bells from other towns were moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania, and hidden in the Zion Reform Church for almost a year.

Philadelphia's famous Liberty Bell was brought back to Philadelphia during the summer of 1778.

Dutourd, Jean.
THE TAXIS OF THE MARNE. Translated From the French by Harold King.
pp. x, 244. 8vo. Original full cloth backed binding. Original dust jacket. "This is the 'Handbook of Patriotism' that is the publishing sensation of the year in France, where it has been passionately acclaimed and furiously denounced. A comparison between the France of 1914, which had the spunk and imagination to taxi its reinforcements of the Marne battlefields to save the country's life, and the France of June 1940 when 'the Generals were stupid, the soldiers did not want to die' and France was lost. The Taxis of the Marne is also the dramatic personal story of one of the most brilliant and interesting men in France today. Jean Dutourd was twenty years old when he went to war in 1940. He twice escaped from the Germans. He fought with the Resistance. An author, columnist, broadcaster, and editor, it is in this book, which seeks to discover why patriotism died for an entire generation, that M. Dutourd has evoked the deepest response - by giving voice to the angers and the aspirations of a people and an era." WWII 1
