[iv], v-xiv, 3-259 pages. Index of principal names. Black and white illustrations and reproductions of documents. Endpapers feature facsimiles of fascinating pertinent news clippings of the day. The author, a professor of physics at Northwestern University, was scientific head of the Alsos Mission. "Appointed by the War Department at the request of Major General L.R. Groves, U.S. Army chief of the atom bomb project, it was the duty of this Mission to follow immediately in the wake of our armies in the innvasion of Europe, for the purpose of determining precisely how much the Germans knew about the atom bomb and how far they had progressed in its construction. In other words, Alsos was a scientific intelligence Mission, and since the atom bomb was TOP top secret and pretty much a mystery even to the high military echelons, our work was of necessity shrouded in secrecy. Now the story can be told." - Foreword. Dust jacket not included. Unmarked. Binding intact. Slight lean to spine. Somewhat above-average wear to publisher's pale blue cloth.

Projecting the nation: European states in the 1920s and 1930s.= Ulusu tasarlamak: 1920'ler ve 1930'larda Avrupa devletleri. [Exhibition catalogue].
New English Paperback. 4to. (26 x 20 cm). In English and Turkish. 330, [2] p., fully color and b/ ills. Projecting the nation: European states in the 1920s and 1930s.= Ulusu tasarlamak: 1920'ler ve 1930'larda Avrupa devletleri. [Exhibition catalogue]. At a time when the boundaries of Europe and the future of European modernity are contested once again in the face of Turkey's candidacy to the European Union, the publication Projecting the Nation offers a critical reflection on the recent past of Europe. Focusing on the multiple and competing modernities of the 1920s and 1930s, a period which also saw the dawn of Turkish modernity, the exhibition explores how nations were invented and shaped by state power. In the age of mass politics, visual political culture - itself a product of modern technology - took on a fundamental role in creating and molding mass consensus. For European states, in this era of competing ideologies and exacerbated nationalism, self-exhibition was no longer restricted to a message of authority and legitimacy targeting the cultural elite. It now became a crucial and novel element of statecraft, a cultural offensive grounded in propaganda, and a source of self-legitimation for political power. In all circumstances, the ultimate stake was control over mass culture. Highlighting strong instances of self-exhibition in the Soviet Union, Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, Kemalist Turkey, interwar France and conflict-torn Spain, Projecting the Nation presents a cross-territorial examination of the similarities, differences and borrowings of forms of modernity unbound.
