King, David; Cohen, Stephen F.
The Commissar Vanishes: The Falsification of Photographs and Art in Stalin's Russia
192 pages. Bibliography and index. Profusely illustrated with black and white and color photos. "Offers a chilling look at how one man - Joseph Stalin - manipulated the science of photography to advance his own political career and to erase the memory of his victims. On Stalin's orders, purged rivals were air-brushed from group portraits, and crowd scenes were altered to depict even greater legions of the faithful. The juxtaposition of the original and the doctored images yields a terrifying - and often tragically funny - insight into one of the darkest chapters in modern history." - dust jacket.

Begin, Menachem; Kaplan, Katie [Translator]
White Nights: The Story of a Prisoner in Russia
pp. [8], 240. "Utterly fascinating, in that what we come to know here is what has made the man who and how he is." - Kirkus Reviews. "The account of Prime Minister Begin's incarceration in a series of Soviet prisons, and his eventual release and arrival in Israel to become the leader of his country. His crime was belief in Zionism, and the time of testing he describes in this book vividly brings to life the formation of his own inner character and the sense of mission which he so evidently brings to his present awesome responsibilities." - dust jacket. "One of the greatest pieces of prison literature in the world." - The Times of London. Light soiling to top edge, otherwise book clean, bright and unmarked with light wear.
