"During the Los Angeles riots, hundreds of law-abiding citizens were able to take up arms against lawless mobs to defend themselves, their families, their homes, and their businesses. They did the job police simply could not do. Lives were saved. Robberies were prevented. Homes and businesses were defended and left intact - all thanks to our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. But despite the lessons of the L.A. riots, despite the fact that millions of Americans use firearms every year to prevent violent crime, and despite the clear intent of our Founding Fathers, there are those in America who believe you do not have the right to own a gun. In Guns, Crime, and Freedom, Wayne LaPierre tells the true story. Until now, there has been no single source for Americans - gun owners AND those who don't own guns but are still interested in the debate over gun control - to find the available facts surrounding the gun control arguments. [The book] has all the facts. It explores the issues of gun control, crime, and the Second Amendment, and provides documented evidence and telling statements about the agenda of those who want to ban guns.LaPierre vigorously challenges the media and their claim that private gun ownership is the cause of the spiraling crime rate that has made American streets and communities unsafe. He explains - with detailed facts - how the freedom guaranteed in our Constitution is called into question when legislation is proposed to ban guns and impose waiting periods and limitations on gun purchases. At a time when crime rates are soaring, when the "revolving door" criminal justice system turns convicts loose to murder, rob, and rape again, and when police seem helpless to protect innocent citizens, it is urgent, says Guns, Crime and Freedom, that our right of self-defense not be put in jeopardy." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

"The great armies of North and South came to Gettysburg because the roads led them there. A little country market town, Gettysburg was touched by fate, early in July 1863, to become important because of those roads. If General Lee, with most of the Confederate Army concealed behind South Mountain, wanted to concentrate in the east for the battle that might win the war, he had to come through Gettysburg. If General Meade, in Maryland, wanted to bring the Federal Army north to intercept Lee, he had to come to Gettysburg. In this battle account, Bruce Catton has clarified for all time the causes of the conflict; he has narrated and analyzed the course of events, paying full heed to the human tragedies brought about, and he has examined th military and political consequences of Gettysburg. Further, Mr. Catton has selected 41 illustrations - Civil War photographs by Mathew Brady and others, along with contemporary drawings, paintings, and engravings reproduced in black and white - and has directed the preparation of new maps of the area and the battle. Maps and pictures are made doubly helpful by the informative captions in depth that he has written. Gettysburg: The Final Fury is a fresh new document. It is a total view of the battle of Gettysburg, which was the determining event of the Civil War." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Condition: Good. B&W Photograph. 18 x 24 cm. Very Good.Provenance:From the archives of the celebrated bookstore and literary salon Herckenrath on Veldstraat in Ghent (Gand) Belgium. Founded by the writer Adolf Herckenrath (1879-1958) in 1909; continued by his son Walter Herckenrath (1907- 1989) and by Walter's children Guy and Helga Herckenrath until around 2000?.Poète, dramaturge, libraire et éditeur. Adolf Herckenrath est entré dans l' histoire en tant qu'ami d'enfance pour lequel Karel van de Woestijne a écrit son Laethemsche Brieven sur Lente (1901)? À partir de novembre 1909, Herckenrath résida dans la Veldstraat, où il conserva la librairie Adolf Hoste et, une fois l'université devenue bilingue, principalement consacré à la littérature francophone. Entre les deux guerres mondiales, Herckenrath était toujours actif en tant que professeur et membre du conseil d'administration de l'académie de théâtre de Gand, pour laquelle un magazine De Tooneelschool (1937-1940) avait également été fondé. Il aida à fonder Pan, le cercle de la littérature flamande orientale, en 1938? En 1935, Herckenrath s'installa dans la villa 't Kersouwken sur l'Eikeldreef à Sint-Martens-Latem. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il y résidera officiellement pendant quelques mois (de mai à novembre 1944). Il est ensuite retourné dans sa librairie de la Veldstraat où il vivrait (au moins officiellement) jusqu'à sa mort. Après la guerre, sa librairie a été reconstruite par le célèbre architecte Geo Henderick. Grâce à la continuation de son fils, Walter, et de ses petits-enfants, Guy et Helga, le nom Herckenrath a également survécu jusqu'à la fermeture de l'entreprise à la mi-2000.
