Kennedy, the founder of the 20th century's most famous political dynasty. Nasaw (the only biographer granted unrestricted access to the Joseph P. Kennedy papers in the JFK Presidential Library) tracks Kennedy's astonishing passage from East Boston outsider to supreme Washington insider. Kennedy's seemingly limitless ambition drove his career to the pinnacles of success as a banker, World War I shipyard manager, Hollywood studio head, broker, Wall Street operator, New Deal presidential adviser, & founding chairman of the Securities & Exchange Commission. His astounding fall from grace into ignominy did not come until the years leading up to & following America's entry into World War II, when the antiwar position he took as the first Irish American ambassador to London made him the subject of White House ire & popular distaste. 'The Patriarch' is a story not only of one of the 20th century's wealthiest & most powerful Americans, but also of the family he raised & the children who completed the journey he had begun. Of the many roles Kennedy held, that of father was most dear to him. The tragedies that befell his family marked his final years w/ unspeakable suffering. The Patriarch looks beyond the popularly held portrait of Kennedy to answer the many questions about his life, times, & legacy that have continued to haunt the historical record. Was Joseph P. Kennedy an appeaser & isolationist, an anti-Semite & a Nazi sympathizer, a stock swindler, a bootlegger, & a colleague of mobsters? What was the nature of his relationship w/ his wife, Rose? Why did he have his daughter Rosemary lobotomized? Why did he oppose the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, the Korean War, & American assistance to the French in Vietnam? What was his relationship to J. Edgar Hoover & the FBI? Did he push his 2nd son into politics & then buy his elections for him? In this pioneering biography, Nasaw draws on never-before-published materials from archives on 3 continents & interviews w/ Kennedy family members & friends to tell the life story of a man who participated in the major events of his times: the booms & busts, the Depression & the New Deal, 2 world wars & a cold war, & the birth of the New Frontier. In studying Kennedy's life, we relive w/ him the history of the American Century. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: DAVID NASAW is the author of 'Andrew Carnegie', which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, awarded the New-York Historical Society Prize in American History, & named a NYT Notable Book of the Year, & 'The Chief: The Life of William Randolph Hearst', winner of the Bancroft Prize for history & the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize & a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for biography. He is the Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. Professor of History at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates. 33 Superbly-Selected B-W Photographs Beautifully-Reproduced in a 16 pp. Insert on excellent gloss-laminated paper (after p. 392) (illustrator).

When E.W. (Jim) Sw…anton died in January 2000 at the age of 92, the tributes poured in from cricket lovers everywhere, among them John Major, who described him as 'one of the great cricket writers of the century'. For over seventy years, from the age of Bradman, Jim Swanton described all the great cricket occasions; his immense knowledge and sharp judgement made him a legend. This celebration of his life in cricket includes the best of his writing (including his memories of life on the Burma - Siam railway in the last war), right up to the time of his death. Here too are a selection of the many tributes paid to Swanton after his death, including Sir Tim Rice, John Woodcock, Charles Fry, Lord Runcie, Richard Hutton, Colin Cowdrey, Richie Bernard, Christopher Martin-Jenkins and Robin Mentor. David Rayvern Allen was the last person to interview Swanton, and this interview is included in full, with an introduction by John Major. Jacket after Andrew Festing (illustrator).

Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, not price clipped (no published price), no inscriptions, intern…ally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 562pp, illustrated. This classic history of the Cherokee Nation tells in vivid detail the tragic story of a great and beloved people both before and after it was uprooted and forced to travel that bitter road known as the 'Trail of Tears'. Marion L. Starkey relates how the Cherokees had at first lived in harmony with their white neighbors in the Southeastern United States, how they had adopted modern dress and technology and how Sequoia had developed a Cherokee alphabet. The author explains how this harmonious relationship was shattered beginning in the late 1830s, when the Federal government undertook to remove the Cherokees from their ancestral lands in Georgia and the adjoining states, and force them across the Mississippi to what would become Indian Territory and then Oklahoma. She recounts the struggles surrounding this shameful removal, masterfully describing the roles played by the U.S. government, the state of Georgia, and the Cherokee people. Victims finally of greed and cynicism, the Cherokees were herded along the 'Trail of Tears', an enforced migration which produced incredible suffering, horror, and death, and which remains one of the darkest chapters in American history. Written with great empathy and respect for a noble people. Marion Lena Starkey (1901-91), was Editor of the Saugus Herald newspaper and a teacher at the Hampton Institute and the University of Connecticut at New London, having attended the Harvard Graduate school of Education. A descendant of Mayflower passenger Peregrine White, Starkey has published extensively on the Salem Witch Trials and the history of New England. Quite a scarce book. Jacket by David Schiffer after George Catlin (illustrator).

Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, spine very slightly faded, not price clipped (no published price), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, ove…rall a vg++ copy. 642pp, map endpapers. Here is a recovered Renaissance classic, a Catalan novel of chivalry translated into English for the first time by American poet and translator David H. Rosenthal (1945-92). Cervantes singles out 'Tirant lo Blanc' for very special praise in Don Quixote, in the scene in which the don's friends, eager to save his sanity, are making a bonfire of the romances of chivalry which have constituted his sole intellectual and spiritual nourishment, Cervantes refers to this work, putting into the mouth of a character the suggestion that the book deserves to remain in print throughout the ages. Joanot Martorell (c.1410-65), was a Valencian knight and the author of this novel, first published in Valencia in 1490. Sadly he suffered an early death due to court intrigue, leaving the novel unfinished. It was prepared for publication by his friend and colleague, Marti Joan de Galba (d. 1490). Jacket illustration after Friossart's Chronicle (illustrator).

As Powerscourt paces the ancient cloisters and listens to evensong from the choir stalls, he begins to suspect that a terrible secret lies hidden in the cathedral, one that may have something to do with the anniversary. Then a chorister is strangles, his body found turning on the great spit in the Vicars Hall kitchen. Powerscourt himself escapes death by a whisker, as does his wife, Lady Lucy, before he uncovers the astonishing secret of Compton Minster and unmasks a murderer. Quite scarce signed.

In 'Home' Francis Pryor, author of 'The Making of the British Landscape', archaeologist and broadcaster, takes us on his lifetime's quest, to discover the origins of family life in prehistoric Britain. Francis Pryor's search for the origins of our island story has been the quest of a lifetime. In 'Home', the Time Team expert explores the first nine thousand years of life in Britain, from the retreat of the glaciers to the Romans' departure. Tracing the settlement of domestic communities, he shows how archaeology enables us to reconstruct the evolution of habits, traditions and customs. But this too is Francis Pryor's own story, of his passion for unearthing our past, from Yorkshire to the west country, Lincolnshire to Wales, digging in freezing winters, arid summers, mud and hurricanes, through frustrated journeys and euphoric discoveries. Evocative and intimate 'Home' shows how, in going about their daily existence, our prehistoric ancestors created the institution that remains at the heart of the way we live now, the family. Quite a scarce book. Jacket after David Gunning (illustrator).

Taking in places as various as beaches, mountain moors, industrial and early Christian sites, great hotels, art galleries, canals and cycleways, meeting people, famous ones, friends, gardeners, railwaymen, craftsmen, bus conductors, who enrich his journey with their stories and observations, and drawing on literature and history, he discovers the true heartbeat of the country. The result is a narrative that surprises, amuses and engages, as well as offering a treasure trove of facts, anecdotes and new perspectives on our extraordinary nation. Scarce signed. A large heavy book, extra postage may be required. Jacket after S. R. Wyatt (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).

In the darkest days of the Vietnam War, the US Navy's kill ratio had fallen to 2:1 a deadly decline in pilot combat effectiveness. To improve the odds, a corps of hardened fighter pilots founded the Fighter Weapons School a.k.a. Top Gun. Utilising actual enemy fighter planes in brutally realistic dogfights, the Top Gun instructors dueled with their students and each other to achieve a lethal new level of fighting expertise. The training paid off and the Top Gunners dominated the skies over Vietnam. This gripping account takes you inside the cockpit for an adventure more explosive than any fiction, in the dramatic true story of the legendary military school that has created the most dangerous fighter pilots the world had ever seen. Scarce in the UK. Jacket by James Viotore after a photo by Capt. David P. Erickson, USN (illustrator).

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. SIGNEDBY THE AUTHOR, WITHOUT DEDICATION, IN BLUE PEN, ON HALF TITLE PAGE. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, some slight yellowing to page fore edges and inside… flaps, not price clipped (no published price), small previous owner's name to front pastedown, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 269pp, illustrated. 2012 marked the 225th anniversary of the sailing of the eleven vessels of the First Fleet from England, bound for Australia. From the arrival of the first 788 convicts in 1788, to the end of transportation in 1868, a staggering 165,000 criminals were sent to Australia for a range of crimes. In addition to those transported, hundreds of thousands of free persons emigrated from Britain and Ireland to colonies in Australia. Because of the vast distance involved, few returned, and the descendants of many of them now live in Australia. Tracing those ancestors today may seem like a daunting task, with The National Archives alone holding over 100 miles of shelving for historical records.' Bound for Australia' is the essential guide to these records. By directing the reader straight to the relevant files and providing a case study to follow the stages necessary to research your Antipodean relatives, genealogist Professor David Hawkings makes locating your Australian ancestors more achievable than ever before. Who knows, you may even trace your ancestor to the victualling list of 788 criminals on the First Fleet. Very scarce signed. Jacket after J. Eyre (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).

Beau Brummell's life is a riveting story of unparalleled fame, fashion and admiration followed by a descent into poverty and madness. The man who put Savile Row on the map, who could win friends, political arguments or the favours of women with apparent effortlessness, and who was responsible for some of the wittiest put downs in history, Brummell created the myth of the British gent typified by wit, style, sex, and the finest tailoring in the world. In this biography, Ian Kelly brings the clothes, fashions and people of Regency England vividly to life. Scarce signed. Jacket after Jacques Louis David (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).
