Very good. Printed broadside. 1 vols. Folio 375 x 285 mm. This appeal printed above the names of A. Kerensky Victor Tchernoff Chernov and other Russian Social Revolutionaries for the 32 former members of the Russian Constituent Assembly protests the hardships inflicted upon Russia by communism. They accuse the Bolshevik government and its New Economic Policy of selling Russia's natural resources to the greed of international capitalism. The NEP was announced by Lenin in March 1921 and inaugurated an interim policy guaranteeing freedom of trade in internal commerce and a system of concessions for the investment of foreign capital. European states and busineses were pleased with the NEP and saw in it Lenin's capitulation to capitalism. However what they considered a weakness eventually turned out to be a mark of strength and flexibility of Bolshevik policy. unknown

Photographs measuring 6 x 4 inches and smaller. 1 vols. Oblong 8vo 8 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches. A rare survival from a distinguished World War One veteran. Born in India Nightingale was educated at Rugby and Sandhurst and joined the Royal Fusiliers in 1910. He survived the landing on V beach Cape Helles Gallipoli April 25th 1915 and the following year he was awarded both the Military Cross and the Legion D'Honneur for his services. Nightingale subsequently served with the 46th Battalion Royal Fusiliers in the North Russian Relief Force part of the invasion of Russia by the English Irish and the Americans. The operation was conducted under the command of General H. de V. Sadleir-Jackson. Arriving in Archangel on 5 June 1919 the 46th proceeded along the Dvina River to Osinova where preparations were made for an attack on rail and river transport. The objective was to repel the Red Army from their established positions and generally improve the position of the White Russian forces. The hope was that the NRRF would be able to subsequently withdraw without significant casualties. In addition smaller raids on Red Army positions were carried out to the south partly to destabilize them partly as reconnaissance. Nightingale was in command of the Borok Column on the right bank of the Dvina River for the August 10 offensive. The first photos are of the H.M.T. "War Summit" & H.M.T. "Pretorian" chugging through the Arctic Ocean and White Sea in Midsummer June 1919 on its way to Archangel. They were billeted at Troitsa and among the many images of the town and its surroundings is one of where the mutiny of Dyer's Battalion took place. Equally there are shots of Russian batteries Allied defenses company headquarters and regimental aid posts as well as images of the Dvina River Yaroslovskoe and Selso. A page is devoted to "Col. Davies Headquarters at Commencement of Action Aug 10th" and shows how the British troops organized themselves in the Selmenga Forest namely with three shots of "Piccadilly Circus Selmenga Forest with Shaftesbury Avenue and Regent Street." The attack commenced at noon and despite the difficulty of the terrain was successful. We know that Borok Nightingale's objective was reported captured along with 80 POWs by eleven o'clock that evening. Nightingale was evacuated in late September. This is not only a record of the battle but includes many poignant personal touches too. Namely there are several shots of men with whom he served and the Russians with whom he stayed. The captions not only name the men in each photograph but in many cases reveal their fate: "Lt Taylor killed Aug 10th Lt Grant wounded Aug 1st Capt. Driver killed Aug 10th." The album also includes a typed order - dated September 9 1919 - which is a reminder that despite the success of the August attack the Russian Civil War was ongoing and would ultimately be won by the Bolsheviks. "You will send one platoon to SELMENGA to hold the SELMENGA BRIDGE and the beach road to GORODOK. The enemy are known to be in force in the vicinity of BOROK and GORODOK and may attempt an outflanking movement . The platoon remain in position there and will withdraw when Captain de Miremont with the GORODOK Infantry comes through there tonight . The Platoon should form a right flank guard to Captain de Miremont from SALMENGA to PLESS." The photographs of Russia occupy the first half of the album the rest is devoted to Nightingale's time in Ireland with the 7th Cadet Battalion. Despite his distinguished service in the military Nightingale's fate was a melancholy one. He died in 1935 reportedly either by suicide using his own revolver of from alcoholism. unknown

Four men - one American one Japanese and two Russians - will all be dead by morning poisoned. To keep the killings under wraps the Kremlin hands the investigation over to the famously discreet police investigator Porfiry Rostnikov. A hard-boiled cop with more than three decades' experience navigating the deadly jungle of the Soviet bureaucracy Rostnikov is about to find himself both in the international spotlight and in the crosshairs of a terrorist who is targeting foreigners to embarrass the Soviet state and will happily sacrifice any Russian who gets in the way.

1991rif. 014806N.Y.: Armchair Detective Library 1991. 1st hardcover edition. A fine unread copy in slipcase. ONE of 100 NUMBERED COPIES this being #98 SIGNED by Kaminsky bound in burgundy cloth without dust wrapper as issued in matching burgundy slipcase gilt stamping to front board and spine pencil sketch of the author by Carolyn Hartman at front board a very fine unread copy. A new introduction by Kaminsky. The 1st Rostnikov title. Set in Moscow the debut Ratnikov novel demonstrates how Kaminsky captures the flavor of that city. This powerful sense of time and place is doubly remarkable because Kaminsky had never been to Russia before he wrote the book. His depictions of Rostnikov coping with a corrupt Moscow police force underlying KGB pressures and the overall inefficiencies of working in the then Soviet Union are dead-on. Death of a Dissident shows a master storyteller at his finest. . Signed by Author. Limited/Numbered. Hard Cover in Slipcase. Fine. Limited Edition. Armchair Detective Library Hardcover
