268 pages including index. Claims Kissinger was disingenuous when he claimed America could not prevent Turkey from seizing a third of Cyprus in 1974. Provides crucial evidence that this action was, in fact, the realization of a longstanding plan. Reveals the explosive strategic reasons why the island was divided, saving its top-secret defence and spying facilities from communist take-over or British defence spending cuts. Makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of great power politics and the strategic importance of intelligence gathering and the role these played in triggering one of the world's most intractable international conflicts. Includes black and white photographs and a 1999 personal interview conducted with Kissinger for this book. Appears unread. Book clean and unmarked with no wear. Light signs of handling to dust jacket. Excellent copy. Book

315 pages including footnotes and index. "This explosive book lays bare the personalities and institutional relations behind the headlines. It goes beyond the recent events to discern the roots of contemporary U.S. covert activity within the past two decades. Delves into the details of CIA and extra-CIA operations, including drug-trafficking, gun-running, government-toppling, and assassination." - from back cover. "An informative and shocking book that takes us from the Bay of Pigs fiasco to the drug-fuelled secret war in Laos, from the urban hustle-and-bustle of Tehran to the steamy jungles of Central America. Profiteers pose as patriarchs, mercenaries claim to be humanitarians, and totalitarian thugs commit their atrocities in the name of political freedom - while back in Washington it's all just one more day at the office." - R.T.

Pp. 376-418 and 1 folded engraved plate showing apparatus air pistols etc. First printing of Ingenhouz's memoir in which he shows a new way to make inflammable air. - Ingenhouz is most widely known for his discovery of photosynthesis which he published in the same year as the offered paper 1779."An interesting paper written from the point of view of a phlogistonist and dealing with the forces of explosions of air or oxygen and ether vapour. Contains frequent references to Priestly and also to Lavoisier Cavendish Fontana."Duveen p. 305."In 1779 Jan Ingenhouz also reported new ways of making inflammable airs. He had learnt the first method from John Cuthberson and Hendrik Aeneae on a visit to Amsterdam in 1777.When he returned to London he tried to find simpler ways of generating the air so that it could be used as a substitute for inflammable air from metals in Volta's inflammable air pistol. He devised a way of volatising ether Diethyl ether for this purpose but he thought that these to airs were the same."Leslie Tomary. unknown
