Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Peter Mendelsund (Cover Design); Robin Matthews (Author Photo); Jeffrey L. Ward (Map Design) (illustrator). 1st Anchor Bks Edition, April 2005. 509 pp. Solidly bound copy with moderate external wear, crisp pages and clean text. Synopsis: Tom Bradby's third novel (though his first to be published in the U.S.) is a feverish work of historical noir, a labyrinthine thriller set in a viciou s world where everyone--as in Bogart's Casablanca--has a reason for hiding. The year is 1926; the city is Shanghai, a swamp of organized crime, corrup tion, turf wars between British intelligence and street- level law enforceme nt, Communist sympathizers, and East European refugees from Bolshevik atroc ities. Into this sweltering, cutthroat port city steps Richard Field, an id ealistic policeman from Yorkshire looking to distance himself from a painfu l past. Ill-suited to Shanghai's heat and shocking violence, Field neverthe less throws himself into investigating the grisly murder of a Russian prost itute, the latest in a line of dead women who lived in the orbit of a power ful Chinese mobster. Slowed by official roadblocks, Field learns that the o nly man in his department he can trust is a tough Chicago detective, Capris i, a touchstone of sanity even as Field loses his rookie head over another doomed Russian call girl. Bradby, a seasoned correspondent for Britain's ITN television network, has obviously spent considerable time researching 1920s Shanghai. His feel for the city's Byzantine society and exotic textures is matched by his accessible vision of Shanghai as a junction of international fallout and internal intrigue. Less compelling, if not outright distracting, is Bradby's more contemporary emphasis on ghastly serial killings with a sex- crime edge. But in the end, the book's remarkable prose and density of experience are uniquely rewarding. --Tom Keogh.

Illustrated with twenty-three full color drawings by the author/artist plus illustrated front and rear endpapers. Two small repaired closed tears at lower front right jacket edge and upper front left spine edge. "The city of Venice has always provided an almost irresistible lure for both writers and artists. Henry James loved it, as did Ruskin, Browning, Pound, and Brodsky. For artists, it has been a compulsory magnet since the time of Bellini and Canaletto. By the nineteenth century there was hardly an artist of note - Whistler and Turner, Sargent and Predergast, Sickert and Bonington - who was not seduced by the city's charms, history, and aesthetic heritage. For the depiction of Venice by artists, it's a high bar that's been set, by Adam Van Doren, grandson of the Pulitizer-prize-winning poet Mark Van Doren, convincingly confronts the competition in this charming memoir, a verbal and visual account of his love affair with the city. His story is personal; like all other artists, he sees the city with and through his own eyes, but he is also well informed historically. He laces his tour with information, opinion, and citation. With Van Doren as guide, the reader's tour of the city is rich and convincing, filled with the presence of illustrious predecessors. With a thoughtful preface by the scholar Theodore K. Rabb, a charming foreword by Simon Winchester, twenty-three full-color drawings by the author/artist, and even six pages of commendably lucid notes, this is a book that will proudly take its place alongside the many others that have celebrated this city for centuries." - from the inner front jacket flap. "[Van Doren's] depictions of San Marco and the Grand Canal in Venice, architectural ruins, and boats on the Thames could double as illustrations for a Henry James tale of Americans abroad." - The New Yorker. "If I could paint like anybody, I'd love to be able to paint like Van Doren." - Graydon Carter. "Has there ever been a seductress quite like Venice? By her nature, her light, her complexion and her architecture, she conquers each of her suitors. Adam Van Doren is no exception. What makes An Artist in Venice exceptional is Van Doren's paintings and his words. Combined, they form a love letter to one of Humanity's most remarkable achievements." - Morley Safer. "[Van Doren] has such a gift for watercolors.with a bold wet look that still sits up on the page." - John Updike. "Venice is an ideal source, and metaphor, for Van Doren's art. Along its canals and alleys - which he has visited regularly since 1973 - colorful historic architecture and brilliant natural light intersect at dramatic angles with kaleidoscope effect." - Mark D. Mitchell, Assistant Curator of American Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art.

"Riveting history that reads like a stay-up-all-night thriller. Don't miss this book!" - Brad Thor, author. "A tale as improbable as it is spellbinding, told with a deft touch and insightful clarity. Brian Kilmeade has done it again." - General Stanley McCrystal, (U.S. Army, Retired). "A wild, page-turning history of one of America's most fascinating battles." - Brad Meltzer, author. "Jackson, whom they had mistrusted as a stubborn and crude westerner, was outperforming the War Department's military strategists. His troops both loved and feared him. He was fearless in battle, but not reckless. And so, on June 18, 1814, militia general Jackson was promoted to major general of the regular U.S. Army." "The War of 1812 saw America threatened on every side. Encouraged by the British, Indian tribes attacked settlers in the West, while the Royal Navy terrorized the coasts. By mid-1814, President James Madison's generals had lost control of the war in the North, losing battles in Canada. Then British troops set the White House ablaze, and a feeling of hopelessness spread across the country. Into this dire situation stepped Major General Andrew Jackson. A native of Tennessee who had witnessed the horrors of the Revolutionary War and Indian attacks, he was glad America had finally decided to confront repeated British aggression. But he feared that President Madison's men were overlooking the most important target of all: New Orleans. If the British conquered New Orleans, they would control the mouth of the Mississippi River, cutting Americans off from that essential trade route and threatening the previous decade's Louisiana Purchase. The new nation's dreams of western expansion would be crushed before they really got off the ground. So Jackson faced three enormous challenges. He had to convince President Madison and his War Department to take him seriously, even though he wasn't one of the well-educated Virginians and New Englanders who dominated the government. He had to assemble a coalition of frontier militiamen, French-speaking Louisianans, Cherokee and Choctaw Indians, freed slaves, and even some pirates. And he had to defeat the most powerful military force in the world - in the confusing terrain of the Louisiana bayous. In short, Jackson needed a miracle. The local Ursuline nuns set to work praying for his outnumbered troops. And so the Americans, driven by patriotism and protected by prayer, began the battle that would shape our young nation's destiny. As they did in their two previous bestsellers, Kilmeade and Yaeger make history come alive with a riveting true story that will keep you turning the pages. You'll finish with a new understanding of one of America's greatest generals - who later became one of our most controversial presidents. And you'll have a renewed appreciation for the brave men who fought so that America could one day stretch "from sea to shining sea.".

It should be read by anyone who wants to understand how things went so badly wrong in Iraq." - The New York Times Book Review. "A visceral - sometimes sickening - picture of how the administration and its handpicked crew bungled the first year in postwar Iraq. Often reads like something out of Catch-22 or from M*A*S*H." - The New York Times. "The Green Zone, Baghdad, 2003: in a walled-off compound of swimming pools and luxurious amenities, Paul Bremer and his Coalition Provisional Authority set out to fashion a new, democratic Iraq. Staffed by idealistic aides chosen primarily for their views on issues such as abortion and capital punishment, the CPA spent the crucial first year of occupation pursuing goals that had little to do with the immediate needs of a postwar nation. Rajiv Chandrasekaran, former Washington Post Baghdad bureau chief, gives us an intimate portrait of life inside this Oz-like bubble, which continued unaffected by the growing mayhem outside." - from the rear outer cover.
