Hardback. Condition: Good. This is the story of the fighting underground of the Jews of Kovno, Lithuania, in World War I. The authors, historians Zvie A. Brown and Dov Levin, were themselves members of the Kovno underground, and this well-researched book based on documentary material, verbal testimonies, and written memoirs of witnesses, among other sources is supplemented by the authors own personal accounts. The authors here describe the first steps of the organized Jewish underground in the Kovno Ghetto, its desperate search for allies outside the ghetto, and its first bloodstained attempts to break through the ring of isolation and establish a base of support for partisan battle. They relate the insurgence at its height: contacts with partisans in the forest, acquisition of weapons and equipment, and training of fighters for partisan warfare. They also analyze the complex relationship between the Jewish fighting organization on the one hand, and the Council of Elders and the Jewish police on the other, as well as the active assistance these official organizations gave to the underground. The text goes on to describe the operations of the partisans, many of whom were fighters from the Kovno Ghetto, and the process by which the fighters were accepted into Soviet partisan units. The authors paint a picture of daily life in the partisan brigades, including the tense relationship between the Jewish and non-Jewish fighters. They relate the final days of the underground as the ghetto was being destroyed, and then the last journey of the Kovno brigades from the forest bases back to liberated Kovno.…

Jerusalem: Gefen, 2014, 1st printing number line starting with 1, 496pp., . "The Jewish communities of Eastern Europe suffered the terrible fate of being the first victims of the "Final Solution" designed by Nazi leaders for the Jews of Europe. In their broad areas of conquest, instead of immediately annihilating the entire population, the Germans kept some Jews alive to use as a work force to serve the German war machine. In a number of ghetto communities, there was time enough for the Jewish community to organize and develop a strong fighting underground. this is the story of one such community in the city of Kovno, Lithuania." - CONTENTS: Part I Ravage and Horror -- 1 Murder and Plunder 3 -- 2 The Ghetto in Frenzy 21 -- 3 Birth of the Underground 55 -- Part II The Awakening -- 4 Toward Active Resistance 105 -- 5 The First Breakthrough 127 -- 6 Escape from the Fortress of Death 157 -- Part III Momentum -- 7 The Partisan Forest Receives the Ghetto Fighters 185 -- 8 The Preparations Behind the Departures to the Forest 226 -- 9 The Resistance Movement in the Labor Camps 263 -- Part IV War of Revenge -- 10 The Birth of the Kovno Battalions 277 -- 11 Way of Life and Social Relations in the Partisan Units 306 -- 12 Supply and Defense Activities 345 -- 13 Partisan Missions 362 -- Part V The Final Days -- 14 Last Days of the Kovno Ghetto 401 -- 15 Liberation 431.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Why do world powers sometimes try to determine who wins an election in another country? What effects does such meddling have on the targeted elections results? Great powers have attempted for centuries to intervene in elections occurring in other states through various covert and overt methods, with the American intervention in the 2013 Kenyan elections and the Russian intervention in the 2016 US elections being just two recent examples. Indeed, the Americans and the Soviets/Russians intervened in one out of every nine national-level executive elections between 1946 and 2000. Meddling in the Ballot Box is the first book to provide a comprehensive analysis of foreign meddling in elections from the dawn of the modern era to the 2016 Russian intervention in the US election. Dov Levin shows that partisan electoral interventions are usually an "inside job" occurring only if a significant domestic actor within the target wants it. Likewise, a great power will not intervene unless it fears that its interests are endangered by an opposing party or candidate with very different preferences. He also finds that partisan electoral interventions frequently have significant effects on the results--sufficient in many situations to determine the winner. Such interference also tends to be more effective when it is conducted overtly. However, it is usually ineffective, if not counterproductive, when done in a founding election. A revelatory account that explains why major powers have meddled so frequently across the entire postwar era, Meddling in the Ballot Box also provides us with a framework for assessing the cyber-future of interference.…

A revelatory account that explains why major powers have meddled so frequently across the entire postwar era, Meddling in the Ballot Box also provides us with a framework for assessing the cyber-future of interference. Meddling in the Ballot Box is the first book to focus exclusively on partisan electoral interventions. In these situations, such as Russia's intervention in the 2016 US elections, foreign powers try to determine election results in another country. Dov Levin examines why such interventions occur and what their effects are. Using historical case studies and an original statistical analysis, he identifies the conditions for meddling. A local actor agrees tocollude with the intervener, and the great power feels threatened by another actor with divergent preferences. Furthermore, electoral interventions frequently affect election results and in many situations determine the winner.
