Paperback. Condition: New. Larry Devlin arrived as the new chief of station for the CIA in the Congo five days after the country had declared its independence, the army had mutinied, and governmental authority had collapsed. As he crossed the Congo River in an almost empty ferry boat, all he could see were lines of people trying to travel the other way,out of the Congo. Within his first two weeks he found himself on the wrong end of a revolver as militiamen played Russian-roulette, Congo style, with him. During his first year, the charismatic and reckless political leader, Patrice Lumumba, was murdered and Devlin was widely thought to have been entrusted with (he was) and to have carried out (he didn't) the assassination. Then he saved the life of Joseph Desire Mobutu, who carried out the military coup that presaged his own rise to political power. Devlin found himself at the heart of Africa, fighting for the future of perhaps the most strategically influential country on the continent, its borders shared with eight other nations. He met every significant political figure, from presidents to mercenaries, as he took the Cold War to one of the world's hottest zones. This is a classic political memoir from a master spy who lived in wildly dramatic times.

Stapled wraps. Condition: Very good. 16th Ed.(TID-4500). Quarto with blue paper covers; stapled; illustrations; illustrations; 28cm. Scarce, Prepared for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission under Contract W-7405-ENG-48. Abstract: "A program has been developed for the IBM 709 digital computer to handle many of the problems encountered in the optical design of high-energy particle beams. The program employs a six-dimensional vector space that takes into account the position and direction in both planes perpendicular to the beam direction, chromatic aberrations and particles of different mass. The quadropole problem with one or two degrees of freedom (i.e., one or two singlets, a doublet, or a symmetric triplet) is solved for the field gradients necessary to yield given beam conditions. The vectors are evaluated at the end of each element in the system. Effects higher than first-order, with the exception of second-order chromatic aberrations in the quadrupoled, are not included. The effect of apertures is calculated in terms of the limitations on the phase-space volume that can be transmitted by the system." Very good (-); pages are clean; binding tight; some mild wear to extremities and rusting to staples; book edges a bit foxed.
