Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Fifth printing. xiii, 17], 300, [4] pages. Main Characters. Glossary. Richard Preston (born August 5, 1954) is a writer for The New Yorker and bestselling author who has written books about infectious disease, bioterrorism, redwoods and other subjects, as well as fict…ion. His 1992 New Yorker article "Crisis in the Hot Zone" was expanded into his breakout book, The Hot Zone (1994). It is classified as a "non-fiction thriller" about ebolaviruses. He learned of Ebola through such contacts as U.S. Army researchers Drs. C.J. Peters and Nancy Jaax. His fascination began during a visit to Africa where he was an eyewitness to epidemics. The book served as the (very loose) basis of the Hollywood movie Outbreak (1995) about military machinations surrounding a fictional "Motaba virus". In November 2009, Preston was selected by Harper-Collins and the Michael Crichton estate to complete his unfinished novel Micro after Crichton's death in November 2008. The book was released on November 22, 2011. Approximately a third of Micro was completed by Crichton. Preston completed the book according to the author's remaining outline, notes, and research. In 2016, Preston served as the Bedell Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Iowa's Nonfiction Writing Program where he judged the prestigious Iowa Prize in Literary Nonfiction. A highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest suddenly appears in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. There is no cure. In a few days 90 percent of its victims are dead. A secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is mobilized to stop the outbreak of this exotic "hot" virus. The Hot Zone tells this dramatic story, giving a hair-raising account of the appearance of rare and lethal viruses and their "crashes" into the human race. Shocking, frightening, and impossible to ignore, The Hot Zone proves that truth really is scarier than fiction. The filovirusesincluding Ebola virus, Sudan virus, Marburg virus, and Ravn virusare Biosafety Level 4 agents, extremely dangerous to humans because they are very infectious, have a high fatality rate, and most have no known prophylactic measures, treatments, or cures. Along with describing the history of the devastation caused by two of these Central African diseases, Ebola virus disease and Marburg virus disease, Preston described a 1989 incident in which a relative of Ebola virus, Reston virus, was discovered at a primate quarantine facility in Reston, Virginia, less than 15 miles away from Washington, D.C. The book is in four sections: "The Shadow of Mount Elgon" delves into the history of filoviruses, as well as speculation about the origins of AIDS. Preston recounts the story of "Charles Monet" (a pseudonym), who might have caught Marburg virus from visiting Kitum Cave on Mount Elgon in Kenya. The author describes the progression of the disease, from the initial headache and backache, to the final stage in which Monet's internal organs fail and he hemorrhages extensively in a waiting room in a Nairobi hospital. Viruses, biosafety levels and procedures were described. Preston talks to the man who named the Ebola virus. "The Monkey House" chronicles the discovery of Reston virus among imported monkeys in Reston, Virginia, and the following actions taken by the U.S. Army and Centers for Disease Control. It starts with the monkey house receiving a shipment of 100 wild monkeys. After four weeks, 29 of these monkeys have died. This is followed by the veterinarian for the facility, Dan Dalgard, examining the dead monkeys and sending the samples to Peter Jahrling, a virologist at United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases. After seeing a rope-like virus under the microscope, it is suspected that the monkeys were infected with a hot agent similar to the Marburg virus. Jahrling then conducts a blood test to find out that the hot agent is the Ebola Zaire virus. This conclusion leads to the Army Medical Research Institute deciding to euthan.

He earned a bachelor's degree in government from Dartmouth College. The New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A spellbinding work of history that reads like a Cold War spy thrillerabout the U.S.-sanctioned plot to assassinate the democratically elected leader of the newly independent Congo. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, The Economist, Financial Times. "This is one of the best books I have read in years . . . gripping, full of colorful characters, and strange plot twists." Fareed Zakaria, CNN host. It was supposed to be a moment of great optimism, a cause for jubilation. The Congo was at last being set free from Belgiumone of seventeen countries to gain independence in 1960 from ruling European powers. At the helm as prime minister was charismatic nationalist Patrice Lumumba. Just days after the handover, however, the Congo's new army mutinied, Belgian forces intervened, and Lumumba turned to the United Nations for help in saving his newborn nation from what the press was already calling "the Congo crisis." Dag Hammarskjöld, the tidy Swede serving as UN secretary-general, quickly arranged the organization's biggest peacekeeping mission in history. But chaos was still spreading. Frustrated with the fecklessness of the UN and spurned by the United States, Lumumba then approached the Soviets for helpan appeal that set off alarm bells at the CIA. To forestall the spread of Communism in Africa, the CIA sent word to its station chief in the Congo, Larry Devlin: Lumumba had to go. Within a year, everything would unravel. The CIA plot to murder Lumumba would zzle out, but he would be deposed in a CIA-backed coup, transferred to enemy territory in a CIA-approved operation, and shot dead by Congolese assassins. Hammarskjöld, too, would die, in a mysterious plane crash en route to negotiate a cease- re with the Congo's rebellious southeast. And a young, ambitious military officer named Joseph Mobutu, who had once sworn fealty to Lumumba, would seize power with U.S. help and misrule the country for more than three decades. For the Congolese people, the events of 196061 represented the opening chapter of a long horror story. For the U.S. government, however, they provided a playbook for future interventions.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. xi, [1], 284, [6] pages. Endpaper maps. Occasional Footnotes. Essay on sources. Previous owner's embossed stamp on half-title page. Recounts the author's return, fifteen years after he had served in combat as a Marine lieutenant, to the battlefields of Vietnam an…d his discovery of an unusual kinship with the people who had formerly been "the enemy." William Dodson Broyles Jr.[(born October 8, 1944) is an American screenwriter, who has worked on the television series China Beach, and the films Apollo 13, Cast Away, Entrapment, Planet of the Apes, Unfaithful, The Polar Express, and Jarhead. He also assisted in the screenplay of Saving Private Ryan. In 1968, Broyles's career was put on hold when he enlisted into the United States Marine Corps. Between 1969 and 1971, he rose to the rank of First Lieutenant and served in Vietnam, first as an infantry platoon commander, and later as an aide-de-camp to the Assistant Division Commander, 1st Marine Division. His assigned duties included social issues with an emphasis on the refugees in the Quang Nam Province. Broyles received the Bronze Star and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Silver Star. Broyles's experiences in Vietnam inspired two of his most critically acclaimed projects. In 1984, he was one of the first veterans to return to Vietnam, and his book Brothers in Arms: A Journey from War to Peace, recounts his visit and his impressions of the aftermath of war on himself and his fellow Marines. In 1988, Broyles co-created the award-winning television series, China Beach, a weekly drama about the doctors and nurses stationed at Danang. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: "I went back to find a man I never knew, my enemy. I went back to find pieces of myself I had left there, and to try to put the war behind me.'' Broyles, former Newsweek editor, spent four weeks in Vietnam in 1984 visiting sites familiar from his days as a combat Marine, talking with people and asking probing and provocative questions. He interviewed mountain tribesmen, fishermen, Amerasian children, Communist Party officials, academics, and former members of the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army. In his own reminiscences from the war, Broyles conveys the moral ambiguities in a fresh and moving way, and in his narrative of the 1984 visit he conveys the state of postwar Vietnam. Although he felt `a certain satisfying irony at my old enemy being hoist with its own petard,' he left Vietnam `with a sympathy for my old enemies I had not had before.' Few books capture the essence of the Vietnam War and its aftermath so vividly as this one. Highly recommended. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. David Lindroth (Map) (illustrator).

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. xi, [7], 318 pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. Autographed copy sticker on front of DJ. Signed by author on the fep. Stella Dong is the author of many historical books on China, most notably Shanghai 1842-1949: The Rise and Fall of a Decadent City (Harpe…rs), Peking: Heart of the Celestial Empire (Formasia) and Sun Yat-sen: Enigmatic Revolutionary (Formasia). Born in Seattle, she worked for several magazines before her first book. She is known for her perceptive articles on Chinese-American writers, and has a regular column on American-Asian cultural affairs in Hong Kong's South China Morning Post. She has also written for the New York Times and Washington Post. Shanghai at the turn of the twentieth century was the place to be. Opium was all the rage, parties were wild, and decadence was a way of life. Journalist Stella Dong looks back on a city that in its heyday was a thrilling combination of Las Vegas, the Wild West, Paris in the '20s, and Chicago during Prohibition. She captures the excitement of its most notorious years -- the decades before Mao's revolution -- when the city was populated with bankers, gangsters, revolutionaries, drug traffickers, gamblers, world royalty, industrial magnates, celebrities, and heiresses. Shanghai was the one place on the globe where no restrictions were placed on immigration. As a result, political refugees and outlaws sought its sanctuary. At that time, this truly international city was free of a central government's scrutiny and quickly became a breeding ground for revolutionary activity. This lively biography describes the thrill and excitement of those years. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. David Lindroth (Map), Zev Greenfield (Author photo (illustrator).

Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates and a double-page black-and-white map frontispiece. "In the genre of truth-is-stranger-than-fiction, Chasing Phil is a standout. What a wild, wonderful story of cons and crooks, told with great style and swagger." - Susan Orlean, Author. "Here is an infectiously good tale about the art of the con. In David Howard's capable hands, a lost world of sharks in tailored suits and their bodacious scams comes to crackling life on the page. I could feel the trickles of sweat from the high-stakes lies, could hear the muffled voices over primitaive FBI surveillance gear. And as I read along, I kept checking my back pocket to make sure my wallet was still there." - Hampton SIdes, Author. "I can't recall the last time I had so much fun with a true-crime book. The plot bobs and weaves, the '70s underworld jet-set scene is rendered with groovy precision, the main characters are big, vibrant, and complex, and the supporting cast seems snatched from a John D. MacDonald caper. Chasing Phil is superb reportage mixes with edge-of-your-seat storytelling." - Jonathan Miles, author. "David Howard takes you so deep inside the FBI's high-stakes, high testosterone pursuit of one of the great con artists, you can practically taste the Camels and the Cutty Sark. A terrific true-crime tale, masterfully told." - Mark Adams, author. ".a world-class swindler, two FBI agents on his tail, and all the high drama and bad hair the late '70s had to offer. story of the FBI's first body-wire undercover mission crackles with sharp dialogue and hairpin plot turns. Strap in. This is a true-crime thrill ride." - Bruce Barcott, author. "A thrilling true-crime caper, bursting with colorful characters and awash in '70s glamour, that spotlights the FBI's first white-collar undercover sting. The Thunderbird motel, 1977. J.J. Wedick and Jack Brennan -- two fresh-faced, maverick FBI agents -- were about to embark on one of their agency's first wire-wearing undercover missions. Their target? Charismatic, globe-trotting con man Phil Kitzer, whom some called the world's greatest swindler. From the Thuderbird, the three men took off to Cleveland, to Miami, to Hawaii, to Franfurt, to the Bahamas -- meeting other members of Phil's crime syndicate and the bankers and businessmen he fooled at each stop. But as the young agents, playing the role of proteges and co-conspirators, became further entangled in Phil's outrageous schemes over their months on the road, they also grew to respect him -- even care for him. Meanwhile, Phil began to think of Jack and J.J. as best friends, sharing hotel rooms and inside jokes and roping them in for wild late-night forays to the likes of New York City's legendary Studio 54. Phil Kitzer was at the center of dozens of scams, through which he swindled millions of dollars, but the FBI was mired in a post-Watergate malaise and slow to pivot toward a new type of financial crime that is now all too familiar. Plunging into the field with no undercover training, the agents battled a creaky bureaucracy on their adventures with Phil, hoping the FBI would recognize the importance of their mission. Even as they grew closer to Phil, they recognized that their endgame - the con man's arrest was drawing near . Anchored by larger-than-life characters, framed by exotic locales and an irresistible era, Chasing Phil is high drama and propulsive reading, delivered by an effortless storyteller." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Fine unread condition black boards, black spine and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Condoleezza Rice; Author Dedication; Prologue; Introduction; Epilogue; Note… on Sources; Acknowledgments and Index. Illustrated with a section of both black-and-white and color photographic plates and black-and-white preliminary page map. Signed and inscribed by the author, former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, with black Sharpie/marker on the full title page. "Today's headlines and history's judgment are rarely the same. If you are too attentive to the former, you will most certainly not do the hard work of securing the latter." - Condoleezza Rice, from the rear outer jacket. "From one of the world's most admired women, this is former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's compelling story at the highest levels of government. In her position as America's chief diplomat, Rice traveled almost continuously around the globe, seeking common ground among sometimes bitter enemies, forging agreement on divisive issues, and compiling a remarkable record of achievement. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, who overcame the racism of the civil rights era to become a brilliant academic and expert on foreign affairs, Rice distinguished herself as an advisor to George W. Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign. Once Bush was elected, she served as his chief advisor on national security issues - harmonizing the relationship between the secretaries of state and defense. It was a role that deepened her bond with the President and ultimately made her one of his closest confidantes. With the Spetember 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Rice found herself at the center of the administrations's intense efforts to keep America safe. Here Rice describes the events of that harrowing day - and the tumultuous days after. Additionally, Rice reveals new details of the debates that led to the war in Afghanistan and then Iraq. The eyes of the nation were once again focused on Rice in 2004 when she appeared before the 9/11 Commission to answer tough questions about the country's preparedness for - and immediate response to - the 9/11 attacks. Her responses . would shape the nation's perception of the administration's competence during the crisis. Rice conveys just how pressure filled that appearance was and her gratitude and surprise when, in succeeding days, she was broadly saluted for her grace and forthrightness. From that point on, Rice was aggressively sought after by the media and regarded by some as the administration's most effective champion. In 2005 Rice was entrusted with even more responsibility when she was charged to carry out the President's foreign policy as secretary of state. As such, she proved herself a deft crafter of tactics and negotiation aimed to contain threats posed by America's enemies. Here she reveals the behind-the-scenes maneuvers that kept the world's relationships with Iran, North Korea, and Libya from collapsing into chaos. She also talks about her role as a crisis manager, showing that at any hour - and at a moment's notice - she was willing to bring all parties to the bargaining table anywhere in the world. No Higher Honor takes the reader into secret negotiating rooms where the fates of Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Lebanon often hung in the balance, and it draws back the curtain on how frighteningly close all-out war loomed in clashes involving Pakistan and India, Russia and Georgia, and East Africa. Surprisingly candid in her appraisals of various colleagues and the hundreds of foreign leaders with whom she dealt, Rice also offers keen insights into how history actually proceeds. She delivers a master class in statecraft - in a way that reveals her essential warmth and humility and her deep reverence for the ideals on which America was founded." - from inner jacket flaps.
