Kaplan, Philip & Currie, Jack
Round the Clock: The Experience of the Allied Bomber Crews Who Flew by Day and Night from England in the Second World War
UK: Cassell 1993 234pp profusely illustrated 1.3 kg for post. Faults small strip of card on dj fold edge top rear bumped upper right corners. Round the Clock is about the combined Anglo-American day-night bombing offensive against Nazi Germany in World War II. It is about the men who made up the aircrews that flew the bombers of the Royal Air Force and the U.S. Army Air Forces in that epic campaign. RAF Bomber Command under Air Chief Marshal Arthur 'Bomber' Harris was deeply involved in the concept and practice of wide-pattern attacks on principal German targets attacks carried out in the dark of night. Those who flew the bombing missions of the RAF and USAAF from British airfields in World War II lived through an utterly unique time and experience incomparable to any before or since. That experience both in and out of combat is the essence of Round the Clock. Cassell unknown

Kapuscinski, Ryszard
TRAVELS WITH HERODOTUS
Very faint shelfwear. ; 288 pages; From the master of literary reportage whose acclaimed books include Shah of Shahs, The Emperor, and The Shadow of the Sun, an intimate account of his first youthful forays beyond the Iron Curtain. Just out of university in 1955, Kapuscinski told his editor that he’d like to go abroad. Dreaming no farther than Czechoslovakia, the young reporter found himself sent to India. Wide-eyed and captivated, he would discover in those days his life’s work—to understand and describe the world in its remotest reaches, in all its multiplicity. From the rituals of sunrise at Persepolis to the incongruity of Louis Armstrong performing before a stone-faced crowd in Khartoum, Kapuscinski gives us the non-Western world as he first saw it, through still-virginal Western eyes. The companion on his travels: a volume of Herodotus, a gift from his first boss. Whether in China, Poland, Iran, or the Congo, it was the “father of history”—and, as Kapuscinski would realize, of globalism—who helped the young correspondent to make sense of events, to find the story where it did not obviously exist. It is this great forerunner’s spirit—both supremely worldly and innately Occidental—that would continue to whet Kapuscinski’s ravenous appetite for discovering the broader world and that has made him our own indispensable companion on any leg of that perpetual journey.
