Illustrated dust jacket has some wear edge tears and soiling and is in a plastic sleeve taped to the boards. Name of previous owner and date stamped on fep. Judith Josephine Grossman January 21 1923 - September 12 1997 who took the pen-name Judith Merril around 1945 was an American and then Canadian science fiction writer editor and political activist and one of the first women to be widely influential in those roles. Although Judith Merril's first paid writing was in other genres in her first few years of writing published science fiction she wrote her three novels all but the first in collaboration with C. M. Kornbluth and some stories. Her roughly four decades in that genre also included writing 26 published short stories and editing a similar number of anthologies. Her story "Dead Center'" F&SF November 1954 is one of only two stories taken from any science fiction or fantasy magazine for the Best American Short Stories volumes edited by Martha Foley in the 1950s. Groff Conklin described her first novel Shadow on the Hearth as "a masterly example of sensitive and perceptive story-telling". Boucher and McComas praised it as "a sensitively human novel terrifying in its small-scale reflection of grand-scale catastrophe". P. Schuyler Miller found it a "warm human novel" comparable to Earth Abides. Shadow on the Hearth is a science fiction novel by American writer Judith Merril originally published in hardcover by Doubleday in 1950. It was her first novel. A British hardcover was published by Sidgwick & Jackson in 1953 with a paperback following from Compact Books in 1966. Italian translations appeared in 1956 and 1992; a German translation was issued in 1982. It was included in Spaced Out: Three Novels of Tomorrow a 2008 NESFA Press omnibus compiling all Merril's novels the other two written in collaboration with Cyril M. Kornbluth. No American paperback of Shadow on the Hearth has ever been published although a book club edition appeared. Shadow on the Hearth tells the story of "a Westchester woman and her two children after the explosion of a series of atomic bombs on New York". Merril described it as "a very political novel . written for political reasons". Merril began writing Shadow on the Hearth as a short story; "When it reached ten thousand words" she remembered "I began to understand that it wanted to be a novel." Although she stopped working on the piece when it reached twice that length needing to spend more time with her young daughter Doubleday editor Walter I. Bradbury read the incomplete draft and bought the novel. Merril quit her editorial job at Bantam to complete it. When she completed it Doubleday imposed its own title avoiding any mention of nuclear war revising the text to create a happier ending and wrapping the novel in a nondescript dust jacket. "On the cover was an attractive young mother obviously in great distress: it could have been a gothic novel" Merril later groused "or basically anything". In 1954 the Motorola TV Theatre aired an adaptation of Shadow on the Hearth retitled Atomic Attack. Doubleday & Company Inc hardcover

Signed by the author on second fep. Judith Miller born January 2 1948 is an American journalist and commentator. She worked in The New York Times' Washington bureau before joining Fox News. Miller became embroiled in controversy after her coverage of Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction WMD program both before and after the 2003 invasion was discovered to have been based on the inaccurate information in the intelligence investigations particularly those stories that were based on sourcing from the now-disgraced Ahmed Chalabi. The New York Times later determined that a number of stories she had written for the paper were inaccurate. Miller was involved in the Plame Affair in which the status of Valerie Plame as a member of the Central Intelligence Agency CIA became widely known. When asked to name her sources Miller invoked reporter's privilege and refused to reveal her sources in the Central Intelligence Agency leak and spent 85 days in jail protecting her source Scooter Libby. Miller was forced to resign from her job at The New York Times in November 2005. Later she was a contributor to the Fox News Channel. Derived from a Kirkus review: Veteran correspondent Miller has been reporting from the Middle East for more than two decades writing about Islam's rush to fill the vacuum left by the collapse of secular Arab nationalism. She profiles ten countries from Algeria in the west to Iran in the east attempting to explain historically and politically how each country arrived at its often perilous and sometimes tragic present. In virtually every country there is some form of violent Islamic militancy at work and governments have tried with varying success to either co-opt or repress the movement. Miller critical of violations of civil and human rights concedes that Syria's President al-Assad has dealt with the militants more effectively than anyone else by terrifying away their potential followers with his 1982 massacre of thousands of people in the town of Hama following an uprising. But Miller also argues that militant Islam is far less homogeneous than commonly depicted. Miller's writing is rich and detailed and her vivid profiles of Libya's Qaddafi and Jordan's King Hussein are worth the price of the book. A nuanced examination of Islamic militancy that puts this growing movement and its most horrible terrorist manifestations into invaluable context. Simon & Schuster hardcover
